Braden's First Soccer Game

Well last Tuesday Braden had his first soccer game. I can't say he actually made contact with the ball, but he loved being out on the field running around after all of the other children. We discovered later, that he thought the other kids would be mad if he tried to take the ball; Rich has since rectified that misconception, and Braden's soccer game last night was much different. Here are some pictures from his first official game.










And what did Emma do during the game?
Let me show you.


First she proceeded to walk onto the field, lay down, and make herself quite comfortable.



Second, she showed everyone that she knows where her nose is located.


Third she watched the game intently.

Next she clapped for her big brother and his teammates.






And then finally, after the game was over, she proceeded to tackle one of the siblings of Braden's teammates, which as you can see, started out in fun and ended up with a very unhappy little girl (you guessed it, the unhappy girl was not Emma; tackling for her is always huge fun, just ask her usual victims, Braden and Brooke).


I guess it is good that Emma is such a character; she can keep us entertained when Braden is not on the field.

These pictures of Emma crack me up. The one of her lying on the grass is priceless. I can honestly say that I've never known a baby quite like her. Oh, and the ones of our little soccer player are cool too. It seems like this time last year I still thought of him as a baby, and now he's a big boy.
