Owen just started playing soccer last week. He's on the team The Big Dogs. Go big dogs!
Actually, we have a bit of trouble getting him to play. We have to promise to take him to Target after the game. I wonder what the other parents are thinking when Brian and I yell, "No Target! Unless you get on the field!" We yell in that "Yes we will!" Hillary Clinton voice. By the way, I am voting for her tomorrow. Go Hillary! "Yes we will!! And here is how we are going to do it together!" (Okay she was kind of ridiculous when she yelled that, but is that enough to not support her?)
Back to Owen - when he gets on the field, he's not really interested in the game. When the ball gets kicked somewhere he starts running for it, but then checks out his feet and runs with his head staring at his feet in amazement, like, "Damn, my feet are pretty fast!" Then he looks up and makes sure Brian and I are watching how fast he is going.
And for no reason that I can come up with, he'll stop and stick his head between his legs and look at us upside down (second picture).
Unfortunately, it has been decided that Owen has his mother's soccer skills. But he's the most entertaining player on the field, hands down.
Kim, Holton, Robin, Jimmy, Austin, Christian, and baby Ryan came to watch Owen last Sunday. Thank you guys so much! Kim looks fantastic sporting her green hoodie! Holton is having a blast watching all these crazy kids. Check out Christian eating his "Go Lean" bar. Someone actually brought that for the soccer snack on his team. Are you kidding me? Kick them off! And no drinks? Robin had to resort to stealing someone else's drinks. Funny story. Hope she puts that on her link.
Another thing, for no reason at all, he started picking on number 1 last week on the other team. (no picture available) Starts getting aggressive and pushing him. Even though 1 didn't even have the ball. Maybe he brought a bad snack for the team, and Owen is doing his part in making sure karma is done.
Who knew soccer season would be so entertaining???

I am laughing thinking back to the game. It was really quality entertainment. Owen really makes the game much more interesting. We'll go anytime! And we'll bring better snacks for the kids. Seriously, Go Lean??
I love the sticking his head between his legs. How random and funny! I'm laughing just looking at the picture.
