He was REALLY excited when he found out his team was called "Real" because it was just like Daddy's favorite team, Real Salt Lake and he also loved that Dad was his coach! He was a little more into soccer this time and did better than his first session, although he still spent much of the game doing something other than playing soccer. He was easily distracted by pretty much anything - the drinking fountain, other kids, the other game going on, treats.... You get the idea! He frequently also would just sit down in the middle of the field and watch for awhile. He came close to making a few goals though and LOVED to do the kick off! One of his kick-offs would have made it to the goal if the other coach wasn't in the way. It was REALLY close! We also discovered that he is a bit of a trash talker - He was always bugging the other team and chest bumping them and stuff. Should I be worried??? He also liked to take dramatic falls during the game and anytime someone else fell down, he would too. My favorite memory from the season was a game where they were losing REALLY bad! I think it was close to 10-0 (one kid on the other team scored all the goals! Don't you think that is a little much for 3 year olds?) Logan came wondering over and I told him to get back out there and he said, "But Mom, that team is KILLING us!" So funny! 
Here is Rylee looking ready to play, too. Since Daddy was the coach she went out and warmed up a few times and had lots of fun!
Rylee LOVES to cheer for Logan and team Real! She actually got pretty good by the end of the season with a lot of the kids' names and cheered for all of them. I have no idea why she thought taking her shoes off like this helped her cheer, but I thought it was quite funny. I guess it is her version of a megaphone...
Logan in action! He is actually running after and kicking the ball this season! The gym they play in has the WORST lighting so none of the pictures turned out very well. 
Logan was also funny with the officials - He would go and ask them to "help" him and then hold their hand and chase the ball. He made great friends with the officials and wanted to invite them to his birthday party. He is a friendly kid - when he isn't chest bumping the other team!
Logan ready to kick off!
Running over for a quick drink break
Taking a break in the middle of the game!
Pep talk from Coach Daddy!
Pep talk from Coach Daddy!He was excited Uncle Dean came to watch, but he was even MORE excited to play with Uncle Dean's cool phone!
Darren giving Team Real a little coaching before the game. Logan is on the end...the only boy! There were 2 other boys on the team, but they didn't play very much. They spent more time on the sidelines than Logan. Darren was worried about having so many girls on his team (5), but they were much more focused and into the games than the boys! 
Logan going for the goal!!! 
A couple pics before his last game. This is also the week we were moving, so it was a little stressful, but he made it to all of his games! I did have to take one turn coaching while Darren was moving, but it was really fun and I really liked it!
Cute little Soccer player!
Logan working hard during warm-ups!
Logan's team after the last game. Logan is on the far right.
Making silly faces!
Logan also loved the waterbottle he got for playing this season. He thought that was a great end of season prize! He also was SO excited for the treats after every game!!! That was always a highlight.
Looking tough!
Logan and his favorite coach - Dad!!! They had a great time together!
