My boy loves him some soccer

Cullen didn't want to play soccer this year, he wanted to do karate. but his best bud brady had been doing it for a couple years, and as a good mom I signed him up without him knowing. about a month before i told him and he wasn't so excited but he was happy to play with his friend. The team he was on was called Blue Lightsabers. (i loved the name and might have suggested it to the team, shhhh don't tell) most of the boys had not played soccer before so we were a small group. The coach was awesome, never cared if we lost, (and we did) just cared about everyone being able to play and learn how to play. Cullen loved it after the first game he was hooked. (i guess he has some stockdale soccer blood) he was very emotional every game almost ever play. but we hope to have overcome that.(fingers crossed) Cullen is great as a forward and has a very aggressive face and runs, kicks his hardest when ever he was out there. which did cause for a couple huge hits but he almost always managed to get back up and keep playing. He made two goals in a row one game and i was sad to say James missed that one. and once again made a goal (james missed that one too). But his true passion was being goalie. (huh? i wonder where he gets that?) He loved to play goalie and blocked tons of goals the three times he got to play, i think they only scored on him twice. James had been working with him and the last game he played goalie and wowed the crowd with his kicks. so i think we won one game and many games were scoreless, but cullen cried when i told him it was his last game. he can't wait till next year! Cullen made the most goals on his team (3) and was named the most aggresive player and mr. energizer bunny red bull. (yep that's my boy)

ps... i think i know most of the rules of soccer now, maybe next year i'll get them all. James just laughs at me because i'm so competitive and into sports i can't hold back. but i'm getting better... i think.
The day i brought my mom's camera to take pictures was the day that right before the game cullen ran into a tree and split open his eyebrow... if you noticed the bandaid on his eye.
And it was also the day we played against the Jedi Knights, my friend Cindy and her son's team where we knew alot of the players. (and a super awesome team!)
Cullen Playing goalie, blocked some good kicks that day!
