Soccer Season

This year, for the first time, we signed Jake up to play soccer. He had a good time running around with his teammates and I had a good time chasing Reid all over the fields!

Playing Center (or any other position) for the "Black Widows",

number 1, Jaaaaaaake Vine-Yard!

Jake has cheering for the team down pat.

We had wonderful coaches that really knew their stuff. Coach Nick Morgan had played in college and Semi Pro. Here is Coach Cade giving final instruction before the game.

Good game....good game

That's my baby!

Jake, Charlie, and John Quitman

When Reid was where he was supposed to be, you would find him throwing dirt on himself and any child around him. This was where all the siblings would congregate during games. Though sometimes, when I would dare watch the game, I would turn back to check on Reid and he would be gone! Keeping tabs on him and watching Jake's games was a challenge all season.

Kick that ball..

Reidy and Ellen

Quick story about Reid and what happens when you take your eyes off of him for two seconds. While I was watching Jake, Reid somehow got into an old Papa John's pizza box and found an unused tub of garlic butter (why someone would order Papa John's and not use their garlic butter is beyond my understanding). Not only did he bust it open on his shirt, but he then started eating it off his shirt!

Here he is, realizing it is all over him, that it smells, and that now he is wet.

He's checking it out and at some point in his mind he decides to taste it.

He decides that he likes it (who wouldn't..it's the whole reason to order Papa John's-always has been) and now he realizes we are on to him! Yes Reid---we see you licking garlic sauce off your shirt! Your Daddy will be horrified by both of us. By Reid actually doing it and by me thinking it's funny enough to not stop him and take pictures of him doing it!
