We are a soccer family!

On September 3, Ryder had his first soccer practice.  He got to meet his team and coaches and is absolutely in heaven!
 Learning to take a knee...
He is number 4 and their team is called the scorpions!
 He scored the first goal of the first practice scrimmage.  He was so happy!
On September 12, he had his first game:
Look who drove out to surprise him!
He had a huge cheering section!
He had the best time!  His team was cheering each other on and being so encouraging.  Everyone looks so little in their tiny jerseys running around the field! The coach came up after and and told us that in their huddle before the game, Ryder was reminding everyone to be good sports and to remember it's about having fun.  Ryder then went to score the three goals of the game.  The other team scored once and Ryder ran over and gave the kiddo a hug and a high five.  You guys, my heart could not be more proud of this incredible human being that I get to call my son.
We are so excited for all that this season holds!
