Saturday's- USC and Soccer

The college football season is upon us and as everyone knows, we were in full USC regalia. The opening weekend/game was a holiday at our house. Jason had 3 TV's going, and a big BBQ with lots of friends to enjoy the day. The kids couldn't wait to get their USC clothes on and get our flag hung to start our day.

My boys!

Ryan kept saying all day, "This is the best day ever!" Watching football with his dad, and getting to eat pizza, hot dogs, and BBQ chips, he truly was in heaven.
The other thing we're doing every Saturday for a while is soccer! Ryan is playing for his first year. It's called mini-kickers. And Jayne is playing with all of her friends again on a team called Purple Power!

Ryan's first week didn't go quite as well as we'd hoped. He got frustrated he couldn't play like a British soccer pro and had a minor meltdown (while most of the other kids where running around without even kicking the ball). I'm sure he'll learn to turn and pass the ball soon, in the mean time we're just hoping he'll mellow enough to just have fun. I think that's going to be our motto with him. (He's definitely his father's son. His intensity's going to be great when he's 16. Not so great when he's 3)

He wasn't in the mood to pose for pictures so maybe next week. This game actually got called short due to lightning in the area. (which is crazy for southern CA)

Jayne, our innate cheerleader, had so much fun! and did such a great job!! We were so excited for her. It's going to be a fun season watching her improve every week.

But regardless of everything, Dad splurged on Krispie Kreme Donuts to celebrate our first soccer weekend, so all was well!

I have a feeling their going to want these every weekend after soccer. :-) (and yes, Ryan was sad because his hands were dirty. He's definitely my son)
