Soccer, Soccer, Soccer

Wow- I am amazed at how I love this game. Good thing too...since it seems to be a family thing. Soccer is Cody's favorite sport. He excells at it...and as you can see by all the mud, his dedication is well...his heart is certainly into this sport. Cody has been playing since Kindergarten...with Cait and Cean behind him.
This summer we gathered a team together and traveled to a few tournaments. Being our first tourney experience...we didn't win much, but Cody certainly held his own against many of the players on the teams we played...which by the way, ended up being some of the best teams on the West Coast!
We will know in about a week if Cody will be playing on a traveling team in the spring. This is an exciting time because it will mean tougher teams. The harder the team, the harder the game...the more Cody will develop as a player. The timing will be perfect as our region has an Olympic Development Camp that Cody will be attending in March.
We are all excited about the MLS (Major League Soccer) Cup match tomorrow...at 9am...(did you see the time of this post?) We are having friends over for breakfast (stuffed french toast, bacon, eggs and yummy fruit) and watching the game. I am bummed it means missing church, but we will be holding our own little service after the game...Thankfully we can download the message we will miss from our church's website! It should be a good match (go New England Revolution). I guess technically we are LA Galaxy fans...(who isn't with Beckham now on the team...sometimes...) Cody has loved watching DB play since he was with Man U. He still loves Man U, and we watch as often as we can. We are counting down until the Man U/Liverpool match. (Liverpool is my team!!) That will be another fun one!! Anyway...Its late, and I seem to be rambling now...going on and on about, well...nothing too entertaining! Enjoy the pics! since it is late...they didn't come out the way I thought. Top is Cean (key-ian) Cait is next...playing goalie, and the final two are Cody!!
