Run Forest run!!!!

Soccer games were finally here on saturday...and boy was it fun! jacob was so scared at first, but when he got onto the field, he took off and i don't think he stopped! he definitely didn't stop smiling--check it out in every picture. finally we have a way to tap into all that energy he exhuberates. :)



















Wanna know which kid is mine? the one who insisted he have the brightest, most vibrant blue ever made on a shoe. ;P we'll never miss him! he absolutely loves them...and that's all that counts right? :)

















go for the goal!!!! the kid on the right made a ton of goals this day (i think he scored all but one). the game was 6-1 i believe--but no one really keeps score at this age. i just felt so sorry for the little guy playing goalie! jacob didn't score, but he had a ton of fun anyway.















swarm ball at it's best! one ball, four brown grizzlies, two blue whatever-their-team-name-is looking on. ha! ryan warned me about this and i thought it was the most hilarious thing ever to watch! no kids spread out, just a huge swarm of kids going after the ball all over the field.
















more swarm ball. :) can you find jacob? (hint: remember to look for the neon shoes!)



















89! 27! 34! HIKE! wait, no, wrong sport.






in case you're wondering who the chica in the sunglasses is on the field, it's coach cara. jacob adores her











my awesome soccer dude!















this is actually from his practice a couple of weeks ago when it was truly freezing outside. can you pick him out from the line? squint and look at the shoes (for those who live here, just cheat and look at the coats). for those with not so great eyesight, he's third from the left. :)
