Tony's Tigers

John Mark played his first soccer game on Saturday.
The term "played" is, of course, relative...



His team, Tony's Tigers, is a bunch of kids from church.
You've got Carmine, who just wants to play with the flags on the sidelines...
Rhett, who has more athletic ability in his 3-year-old body than ME...
Sweet Leslie, whose older sister has taught her a thing or two...
Coach Tony, who tried so very hard to pitch the concept of soccer to this motley crue...
John Mark- we'll get there later...
Cassady, who enjoys picking her nose and scoring for the other team...
Haley, who also has it going on...
And sweet Logan- who just wanted to kick the ball.

John Mark started out promising- he was kicking the ball so well... Although, he didn't quite grasp the concepts of: A- not using his hands and B- chasing the ball post kick...

He took a time-out from playing to do the hot-dog dance...

And when it was his turn to sit-out, he walked over and said:

"Coach Tony said I'm done...

Can I get my donut now?"

But he stayed with it...

and had fun- which I suppose is the point of Tiny Tot soccer.

John Mark even comes with his very own cheering crew-

Reminds me of my glory days playing basketball...

The whole fam out to watch.

John Mark is a blessed, blessed little boy and he doesn't even know it!

Stay tuned for more soccer updates.

This can only get better!
