Kade's Soccer

We are so glad Kade decided to play soccer. It gives us something to do on Saturday's. It has been so much fun to watch him gain confidence and play in the games. His coach and coaches wife do an incredible job with the team. We are lucky to have them! Eric also helps out at the practices and games. The first game Kade scored one goal, second game two goals, third game none and fourth game none (however, he almost had 3-4 goals but the goalie stopped them). I know Kade appreciates everyone that comes out to support him at his games too!!! He usually has the most "cheerleaders" and "supporters" at the games!

I am most proud of Kade by the way he reacts after he has scored a goal. After he scores a goal he doesn't turn around and act cocky and arrogant. He acts as if he did nothing and moves on in the game. My mom pointed this out after one of his soccer games. She calls it humility. A few days later I was talking to his coach who said Kade is one of those kids that is quiet. However, he goes out and does his best and scores some goals, but he doesn't "flaunt" it. I am so grateful to hear this. It makes me more proud then any amount of goals he could ever score. I am so glad he has found something to bring him more confidence. As he grows he is becoming more self assured in himself and knows he can try new things and succeed.

One of Kade's cheerleaders!



Eric helps out a lot with the team. He loves having a son playing sports. We are going to be so busy when all four of them are playing :)

One day I had our soccer bag in the house. Kyle and Connor's fold up chairs are in it. They decided to pull them out. When I came downstairs I found Kade kicking the ball and they were sitting on their chairs clapping and saying "go Kade". It was so cute!!! They are probably two of Kade's biggest fans :)
