Giving Up Soccer Mom Status...

For T-Ball!!!

The boys have been playing soccer at their school once a week. They play with an organization that focuses on skills & not competition, so they don't actually play against other teams. It's been good in the physical activity aspect, they are WORN OUT when I pick them up & they do love soccer. I feel kind of bad about them not playing at school anymore because Kellan's BFF plays & he loves his time with her but it is rather expensive for what they do (& for 3) & it's on the same day as one of their T-Ball practices.



Sort of out of the blue the boys all expressed an interest in playing T-Ball so when I was chatting with a friend & she mentioned sign ups were NOW (then) I immediately paused the conversation to sign the boys up! 
The boys were super excited when I told them & again when I got their little gloves. The day I got them they wore their gloves & ran around the house pretending to catch balls the whole afternoon.

Learning the bases

Kellan learning to hold & swing a bat correctly

Garren hit the ball so hard he spun all the way around, lol

They're all so little!!!

Caden hitting a pitched ball

Garren whacked one too :)

Kellan was the most proud of his hit!!!

The boys are doing great, Caden & Kellan are throwing much better than when they started practices & they can all hit the ball pretty well. Caden still struggles with running to first after a hit, one night he ran to third instead & sometimes he just watches everyone chase after his ball, lol... but he's getting there. 

Kellan didn't want to go last week because he said because he didn't throw very well. After some pep talks & encouragement he was excited again and after hitting the ball last night, he is super stoked to play again! Thank goodness :)

Soccer Moms At Last!

This past Saturday the boys finally started Soccer. I have anxiously awaited this day since we found out we were expecting 3 boys!!! So it's official, we are Soccer moms!!! Lol

The boys have soccer balls at home & they have always liked kicking them around. We hoped & prayed that they would actually like the game. It's pretty evident that Garren does but may take another week or 2 before we know for sure if the other 2 boys do. :)

Nana & Papa came along to the boys forst practice & game. The U4 (soccer tots) teams practice & play on the same day. It's convenient but I wish they went a couple times a week just for more to do.

The team is great, just 6 kids per team & they play 3 at a time. The boys team is called The Wiley Coyotes. The coach & his wife were great & the other parents were very friendly.

Caden wasn't feeling it Saturday which actually leads to a funny story...
Caden didn't want to play, he just wanted a bottle of water, we obliged & he sat on the bench watching his brothers & team mates practice. We hoped that by game time he would be over whatever was bothering him & he would want to play but by game time he was asking to go home. When we couldn't leave he broke into tears. My mom tried taking him to the car to see if cooling off would help, when he calmed down they came back to the field. He started crying again & now Kellan was getting upset. He wouldn't say what was wrong, we asked the typical questions, potty? Poop? Stomach ache? He answered no to them all. My mom & bonus dad took Kellan & Caden for a walk while Garren finished out the game. Everyone seemed fine when we headed out so we headed down to see the new house & then for some lunch. All 3 boys fell asleep in the car. They woke up in time to eat but Caden didn't want anything, he sat at the table for a little bit & then started asking to go home again. He did this a few weeks ago before he barfed all over the van so I was afraid he was feeling sick. After lunch we decided it was best to take him home & forego the birthday party had planned to attend. He fussed on & off all the way home bit still wouldn't say what was wrong. When we finally got home he started gripping his stomach & bottom, I stripped him down & he immediately when to the bathroom. 
He just needed to poop!!!
