Soccer - 11/15/2008


Jordan and Weston both had games at 8:00 a.m. this past Saturday. Since we already have a lot of pictures of Weston, and since Jordan has been without a cheering section these last few weeks, Weston went solo this time. Also, we got some more good pictures of Tanner being Tanner.


Soccer, U6 style


We need pictures like these to remind us what a sweet boy Tanner can be


Wow, talk about a tough goal to score on!



Maybe a Photoshopped football to replace the soccer ball would be good here


Tanner introduces Sumo Wrestling to soccer



Note to self...remind Tanner that when tending the goal it is helpful to stand in front of the goal line



Well, that's one way to defend the goal


This is what Tanner does when he's suppose to be warming up. I wonder who he learned this from?


Oh yes, of course, he must have learned it by observing the example set by his two older siblings.....one of which is learning that cleats in the back isn't a good thing and the other which appears to be enjoying providing that lesson



It's hard to see without enlarging the picture, but Jordan is proving that she's deserving of her name by displaying the true sign of any great Jordan....a wagging tongue


Girl in pink: "Ouch, someone is going to pay for that!"


Jordan: "Why me? I wasn't the one who kicked the ball into your back"


Who said girls don't play rough?


"Oh, so that's what these shin guards are for"


"Don't even think about it"


"It's either the ball or your leg, but this foot isn't going away empty"


Gaining control


Um girls, look behind you


Full Throttle


This can't be good for the camera



"You get the ball and I'll take care of the big kid"



She's got a little "Karate Kid" thing going on here



"I snap my fingers and magically the ball appears"


Up for grabs


Right through the double-team


"Hark, I see a ball"



It's to your left


"Do you have to fix your own divots?"


Let me see your War Face


Between the power of the kick and the determination in the face any defender should be trembling with fear




Jordan's version of La Cucaracha


"Sorry sweetie, but these long legs are built for running"


"Look, I found a ball"


"Give me just one second to fix my hair"




Great defense by Jordan


It may be strike one, but what a great facial expression


Which one of the four balls are they going for?

Soccer - 11/8/2008

This last weekend Tanner and Jordan both had games at 8:00 am. Therefore, I was only able to grab about five minutes worth of pictures at the end of Jordan's game. Nevertheless, I still got some good ones.

Are mouth guards required now?


Pure power





Not in my goal!


Pippi?



Heads up!




Are you talking to me?


It's better to play with your eyes open #1


It's better to play with your eyes open #2


It's better to play with your eyes open #3


It's better to play with your eyes open #4


Maybe a little Kung Fu will do the trick



I don't care if you're bigger than me....get out of my way!



Whatever it is, it can't be good with an expression like this


Wait, is that thing coming towards me?


Oh-no...it looks like a collision is inevitable


Off the top of the head...skull is harder than synthetic leather!


Hasta la Vista, baby!


Look out!!!...coming through!!!



Maybe I can scare it away?


What do I do with that thing once it gets here?


Lets at least wait until December before we do our Prancer imitations


Has a sudden phobia of balls developed?


Leaving nothing back


Once again the ball seems to have been misplaced


Bringing it!


Are hands legal when protecting the interests of your face?


Um, Weston...I think you're suppose to kick it the other way


This baby is outta here


La cucaracha


Maybe shin guards aren't enough


Having a good time


Jump!


Excuse me, but has anyone seen a soccer ball around here?
