Saturday means “soccer” for our family in the fall. I really love this sport. I enjoyed playing when I was a kid and even played a few games for fun while in college. It’s funny when I play now with the kids because my mind remembers how it “used to be”, but my poor body can’t get it going like the good ol’ days.
Can I get an ‘amen’ up in here?
So I thought I’d overwhelm your senses with a picture overload from Goofy Foot’s most recent game. Let me tell you right now… our team is all heart and extra enthusiasm, hold the talent. Shh! Don’t t
I love at the end of the game everyone from the sidelines forms a tunnel and the kids run through as we cheer them on. It’s kinda funny, but the boys get a kick out of it. No one really cares who wins. I like it like that.
Here’s a picture of Goofy Foot playing goalie. Oh, the pressure… especially when your defenders are M.I.A. Goofy Foot was up for the challenge.
And he takes one for the team… fearlessly defending the goal with his body, or something like that.
Here are a couple of action shots…
Team meeting after the game…
Don’t they look like they are talking strategy, or how to be a fierce competitor, maybe secret plays? I kid you not, the coach was reminding them to say thank you to the snack mom.
That would be me.
I think I love this team!

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

How fun!! I LOVE soccer :) I grew up in Mexico....do I say anything else?...haha!
Girl, they are adorable! My little girl and boy are playing...I'll post some pics soon of them. I just love it!
Wow- what AMAZING photos! It looks like they are having a blast! :)
Sounds like MY kind of team... fun, encouragement, snacks... and I love that coach reminding the kids to be polite!!
And the pics are awesome, looks like a great time was had by all! (except that poor goalie! ;))
You know the snacks ARE the most important thing in my world too :) I am loving these pictures, you really really really amaze me.
I just noticed a certain Guatemalan princess princess on her daddy's shoulders during the tunnel...How cute is that?? Love it!
Love the boy in the second picture, he is adorable!
So fun and uplifting....I think I love this team, too!
HAHA thank you to the snack mom...I love it! This sounds like the perfect team, what great attitudes! I can't wait for my kids to start playing sport and I hope the atmosphere is exactly like this. Great action shots! :)
I love all of your pictures and I agree....SNACKS are the most important thing. My son is four and on a soccer team and the first thing he asks when we get to the game is who had snack duty?
Blessings,
Amy

Great action shots. Lots of fun!
what a great way to spend a saturday in the crip windy weather that is Fall. oh and Amen! great action shots you captured. I end up with a blurred face when my daughter moves quickly -- I'm workin' on it. love your daughter's pigtails.
BEAUTIFUL!!!!! You've inspired me to capture the tunnel pics, too. What great, beautiful moments to cherish. Stacy, what kind of lens are you using?
We love soccer in our house too. Great action shots. You have a really cute blog design...I love your name:)
Great pictures ~ Love them!! My camera still hasn't made it to a soccer game this season ... hopefully that will change on Saturday. I, too, am now inspired to do a tunnel shot! ;) I would have never thought of that on my own! ;)
Your action shots are PERFECT!!! Great job!
And could this team get any cuter? I think not.
Many blessings!
Amanda
