Soccer Mania

Well, we have finally started our first season of soccer. We have been trying to keep little man active all year and this is one of our first tries at soccer. We started with swim lessons last summer and kept them going all fall and winter (just finished our last session in Feb and will start back in May). Now our little man is working on running and kicking! We were hoping to get in the program here in Jasper but due to some conflicting communication on what age they start here, we decided to go with a small group about in a community 15 miles south. Tucker had a blast! He kept asking on the way home if he would get to go back the next day. He is mainly doing what his coach calls "Soccer Olympics". Basically doing some drills with lots of free kicking and play in between. Just what a 3 or 4 year old needs! Tucker had a blast! He is very excited about being a big kid, playing soccer, and getting to have blue Gatorade aftewards! We'll see how the rest of the season goes. If well, we plan to start back up again here in Jasper in the Fall. Quick photo while he came to retrieve his soccer ball.

Going for the goal

Before heading out, Mommy tried to get a photo.

Here we have Tucker throwing the ball in the air. He was very excited!

Saying he is 3 and 3 year olds play soccer!!!

Spring is in the air

Just as we finished up a few days of cold, yucky weather, we headed to the beach with the DiPiazza Family! We had a great time enjoying beautiful weather in Destin. And great company! Tucker was a fish in the pool. We could really tell his swim lessons this past summer, fall and winter had paid off! Lots of fun and laughs as we enjoyed one last trip out of town before little one joins our family! Abby and Tucker playing Santa in the bath.
Aunt Chele taught Tucker how to make a drip castle! He loved this!

Tried boogie boarding (tried being like his older cousins).

Digging holes! Loved having a giant sandbox called the beach.
