Soccer!

Last night was my first night of playing soccer again! I was really nervous about the game, but it was so much fun!! I think the main reason I was nervous was that I was anticipating the same level of play that I last played at, and I am no where near that kind of shape. My mind eased up a little while I watched the game before mine, and I saw some ladies who looked really out of shape running and playing out there--and I thought if they can do it, so can I!!
It's been 4 years since I have played a game, and I'm so glad that I'm starting to play again. I actually played the whole game and felt okay. Of course there were times when I should have been somewhere to get the ball, or mark my player, but I just couldn't quite make it. That's the great thing about playing for fun--if you mess up, you can just laugh at yourself and keep playing! Before we started the game, I said that I would play any position except goalie and outside half back--and of course, what position did I play most of the game?? You guessed it--outside half!! I started out playing defense, but I switched with a girl who was playing half back because she was dying running back and forth so much! (She has a 7 week old baby!--there's no way I could have even jogged up the field in her position) Anyway, I switched her because I knew I could suck it up and do some running. I actually didn't mind playing there--I was able to be a part of offense and trying to score goals, and that was great! I had a few chances to score a goal on some corner kicks--but I missed; however, I actually made one on another attempt! So it was really great to get out there and play again!
I have another game tomorrow night and I have to go get some tape to wrap my ankels up some more. I have new ankle braces, but that's not enough. My ankles are so weak, I actually tweaked one last night--but after I get some tape I should be good to go! Oh, and thanks Mel for inviting me to play!!

Bostyn has been cruising all over the place with his walker. One day I decided to let him try it and he went crazy with it!
Cute, cute boy!

The other da
y when Bostyn was eating he managed to get a graham cracker stuck in his hair! It was hilarious so I just had to take a pic!

Dave was feeding Bostyn and he was wiggling all over the place. Bostyn just kept rolling and moving, making it almost impossible to give him the bottle.
Like father-like son!
Mommy's boy
Mr. Incredible in ACTION!
Dave took the boys fishing last weekend so that I could rest! What a great hubby!! Anyway, this is a pic of Bostyn ready for his outing.
