It's official...

...I am a soccer mom...and proud of it! I've got the sweat pants and mini van to prove it! Today was the boys second soccer game and it was so much fun. We are playing for the Arlington City League. It's about 20 minutes from our house and we love our team and our coach. The boys are on the black team and they decided as a team that they wanted their team name to be the "Panthers". Rayden and I have caught ourselves several times shouting out..."Go black panthers"...then we quickly let out a small gasp and silently remind ourselves that we should not ever do that again.

As a proud soccer mom I need to tell you that while our league does not keep score, the Panthers have totally dominated both of their games so far. And as my pride swells within me I must also add that one of the goals that we had tonight was scored by none other than Kaleb Josiah Hollis. I am pretty much hoarse from all the screaming I did at the game. I wish I could have captured Kaleb's face the exact moment he realized that he had just scored a goal. It was so amazingly priceless. I missed the moment however because I was jumpoing around and screaming like a total dufus. Oh well...the precious look of amazment and elation will forever be etched in mind to enjoy always.

While some might think that your 'jumping around like a dufus' is probably genetic, I have to tell you that it is just another way in which you will be rewarded as a parent - seeing those kids participate, try really hard, succeed, and have lotsa fun along the way - well, it will probably feel even better than some of your own similar childhood activity memories. PawPaw can't wait to be there to see a game in person - and I'm now shopping for my own Black Panther t-shirt (wait - I'm not sure they still sell them!).
