David is starting soccer this year and he is SOOO excited! First, he got to get a new pair of cleats, shin guards, and his very own soccer ball! He loved picking them all out and really put a lot of though and consideration into is decisions.



(this is him the night we got his new stuff. i told him he could wear his cleats while he slept so he just put them on his pillow)

He waited for weeks to get a phone call from his coach telling him when his first practice would be. He was so excited when he got a call from Daddy telling him he was going to be his coach (well, first he was confused, then he was excited). There weren't enough coaches this year for all of the teams, so they called Brian and asked him to coach the team and I am his assistant coach. Neither of us has ever played soccer before, so it should be interesting! AND WOW, who knew there was so much work involved in coaching a team...it's almost like a full time job!

David just got his uniform and it is green (his FAVORITE color) and he couldn't be happier! We were way off of his size though, so we have to exchange it next week. Since Brian is the coach we got to come up with the team name and we (with the help of the boys) decided on The Gators! You'll notice we have changed our page in support of The Gators!

His first game is Aug 30 at the HOT Soccer Fields, we are not sure what time yet, but we'll let you know.



THE FUND RAISER:


They are selling coupon books for their fund raiser this year. These books are awesome, I got one and have probably already got my money back in the money I have saved! They are $10 each and have 100's of coupons redeemable at over 55 different local businesses like Shipley, Chick-Fil-A, Cameron Park Zoo, Baskin Robins, La Fiesta, and more!

The sales from these coupon books help keep HOT Soccer up and running and allow kids to play and receive uniforms at low fees.

If you would like to buy a coupon book just let us know, we'll get one to you!
