Sports....

Waiting for the right moment....

to give it all I've got!
Gotta be first!
Thinks and plans his moves!
Mind of his own...

Okay, so I've never been a sports person really. I don't mind basketball... although this season of NBA on TV has been never ending at the Ray home....somehow it ended up on the hospital TV while in labor with our 3rd!! He swore there was nothing else on.....anyway, I digress....

I was never interested until JACK! So, he played T-Ball at 4 years old and did good, but didn't like it really. So, at 5 tried soccer and loved it....and....he's REALLY GOOD! I'm not just saying that cause he's mine, I mean he's truly good at it! He scores goals at EVERY game and on the last 2 games last season scored a total of 8 in one day! Yes, that's our Jack! He LOVES to get in there and take over and he's so much fun to watch!

I've never seen Chris smile for an hour straight until Jack's soccer games! He doesn't just smile, he beams! In fact, this morning was yet another soccer game.....Yes, I went just 4 days after giving birth! ( when you have multiple children you have this guilt thing that makes you do things whether you feel like it or not!!) Anywhoo....so, the game is intense (yes, they are all 6, but it WAS intense) Jack has some major competition this time. A kid with a mohawk....and he's mean about the game!! So, that fires Jack up.... suddenly the mohawk kid is on the ground. The ref blows the whistle on Jack and yells "accidental trip!" Chris looks at me and grins larger than life and says "YES!" while laughing hysterically!! Nothing is crazier than a proud Dad...well maybe a proud Mom!!

Meanwhile, a ways down the field is our Thatcher entertaining several other children being the life of the party! They are VERY different down to their looks!! It's so much fun to watch them in action whether they are playing in a game or with friends!!!

So, now when I'm watching my "Sport" in the midst of the game, my blood starts pumping and I get fired up wanting Jack to win because I know he wants it so badly!! So, earlier when I told on Chris for being thrilled with the "not so accidental trip"...I was slightly thrilled myself!! ;0) We'd never tell Jack that, but he knows we are his biggest fans and we always will be!!
