Mini Kickers

A few weeks ago we had a big day for the Israels. Lucas had his first day of soccer (and I'm officially a soccer mom). Lucas is a Minnesota Thunder along with BFF Emma. The mini kickers were not quite sure which way to kick or even if to kick the ball but they were so cute. Matt is so giddy too which is adorable. He's been wanting a kid in soccer since I told him I was pregnant. He just wishes he could be coaching. Maybe next year. But Lucas did a great job even though he did want to bring his own ball into the game instead of playing with the one the other kids were playing with.
Haley's big news was that with a little help of the soft grass at the field, she sat all by herself!!!
So stink in' proud of my kids!
And last but definitely not least. Matt and I had our first celebrity spotting in Nashville! Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's daughter Sunday Rose is playing in the same league as Lucas and they were on the field right behind us about 20 feet away! Had to try really hard to stay cool.

Before the first practice, I got my sweet boy to let me get some pics in his new gear:

Getting first instructions from their coach:

Finally kicking!
