Sports in Spring


This spring has been really busy for Brecken and us.  We have Breck enrolled in tennis, soccer, and t-ball.  His favorite is soccer.  The 1st game he played was 7-1 and Brecken scored all 7 goals.  It got to be a little embarrassing, since he celebrated each time and a couple times ran back to the middle of the field holding up a number one up.  Mike was so proud of him after that game.  His second game he scored 4 goals and the score was 4-1.  His coaches’ wife asked how long he had been playing and I told her this is his second week.  She said he was natural!!  He seems to be good at soccer, which is my dream…no hockey is what I hope for.  T-ball was fun while it lasted.  Brecken was with 5 & 6 year olds…somehow he got on the wrong team.  The good news was he could keep up with the 5 & 6 years old as far as ability, but he didn’t have the patience like them.  He ended up playing in the dirt/sand in the outfield so we took him off the team after 4 weeks.  He was cutting into the other kids time and we didn’t feel it was fair.  Mike and I are so competitive that if there was a 3 year old on our son’s 5 & 6 year old team we would be upset if they were taking away time, so we felt it was best!  Tennis was fun and he did good at that too, the only problem was Brecken was sick or had birthday parties, or mom and dad were buying a car, so he didn’t get go to many tennis lessons.
