GOOOOAAAAL!

Brayden had a soccer game last night to make up for the game they missed due to rain 1 1/2 weeks ago. It was a beautiful evening. The kids did pictures- Am I a bad mom if I don't order a picture? I mean really, I could have stood behind the guy and gotten a picture that was just as good, but I ended up ordering them anyway. They all looked so cute in their big t-shirts- Go BLUE STRIKE! Then, we headed over to the field for the game.
Now, last spring, he was the youngest on his team (they were about a year older), and mostly ran behind the other kids. He was the only one that hadn't made a goal, so by the last game, the coach was telling the kids to pass it to Brayden whenever they were near the goal. He never did get a goal. He didn't seem to mind too much, as he was just happy running around on the field with his team. This fall, he is on a really big team (9 kids) with kids his own age, and it seems like it is really starting to "click." He is getting in there, blocking goals, stealing the ball (sometimes), and getting the ball down the field. Last night, his aunts TerriAnne and Tess and Uncle Ryan came to watch. Boy, he was excited when they got there and was acting like a maniac. They must be good luck, because he made his first GOAL!!! We were so excited, but not nearly as much as Brayden. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the look on his face as he high-fived his buddies. His friend Austin did a great job passing the ball to him and kick, kick, kick he scored! Great Job Brayden!!!!
