Soccer 101

So Caleb and Kevin(who is the coach) had their first soccer game this past Saturday...sorry no pictures, it was raining! :( Ugh!! By the end of the game we were all soaked!
Anyways, the first quarter had just ended and we were down 2-0 with little threat of scoring a goal. Kevin and the team huddled under the beach umbrella(for relief from the rain) to discuss the next quarter. With a dry erase clip board in hand Kevin drew out the positions...three on offense and three on defense. Kevin circled the offensive players and explained that they need to try and score a goal. He then circled the defensive players and explained how they need to stop the other team from kicking the ball in the goal. Kevin was trying to reach the kids at the most basic level of the game. After he was done he looked up and Caleb looks at his team and says "I have no idea what he is talking about??" Kevin smiles and says "lets go have some fun!"
Honestly we aren't sure if Caleb was joking or not? But the rest of the team seemed to understand...they went on to score at least 8 goals(we stopped counting) and the other team never scored again! It sure was a fun game!!

Update

Well we thought we'd update you all on what has been going on at the Hart home...

Caleb started Kindergarten and seems to really be enjoying it. It's fun to hear him talk about what he's learning and the friends he is making. Here is a photo of him on his first day. He was so cute while getting ready, he asked me if his outfit made him look short or if it was nice enough to wear to school? This coming from the kid who could care less about what he wears! Caleb also had his yearly check-up, he weighed in at 55lbs and is 47inches tall! We praise God that he's healthy...no signs of JRA.




Ethan is having a hard time with Caleb in school. Even with all their fights, they really are good buddies! Ethan keeps asking when he can go to preschool. Ethan is growing good too, he was in for his yearly check-up as well. He weighs 32lbs and is 39inches tall. Ethan earned the title of "Fair Junkie" he loved the rides, animals, and of course the food...cotton candy and elephant ears!!



Levi is growing REALLY good...he weighs 23lbs and is 29inches long! He is a good eater! He loves graham crackers...Caleb thinks Levi smells like smores because of all the grahm crackers he eats! He is such a good baby...full of smiles and laughs! Levi is so easy going, we have taken him all over and he always does so well. He was able to be a part of the "Hart Family Tradition" of having your picture taken at the well in Ludington.



Well Summer 2008 has come to end and yes we are sad about that, however we have a lot of fun and exciting things going on this fall! Caleb is playing soccer and Kevin is his coach and his uncle Nate is the assistant coach. Kevin's brother Jamie is getting married and we are standing up for them. We are going to California over Thanksgiving to visit my sister Kate and brother Luke. Those are just some of the events to come...stay tuned we will be sure to blog about it all!
