Spring Soccer & Coach Pitch (or Why I'm a Bad Mother)
Yep, I'm the worst mom ever. You want to know why? Because both the spring soccer and coach pitch seasons are over, and this is the only picture I took the entire season...
Yep, one picture! This is Aiden right after he made a goal. Other than that, I didn't take any. I just kept thinking, "Oh, I can take pictures at the next game." Well before I knew it, both seasons were over...and I hadn't snapped a single one.
Luckily, I did buy the ridiculously expensive pictures from the photographer, so at least we have those...
Both Connor & Aiden had good seasons. Their coaches were fun & they both learned a lot. Connor is at the age where the kids actually play positions. He spent most his time as defense & midfielder, but also played goalie a little too. Aiden's team just followed the ball around like a herd of wild animals. It was a fun season, but I'm glad it's over. We always had two soccer games & two soccer practices a week.
And, if that wasn't enough, Coach Pitch was going on at the same time, so we had an additional practice & game each week for that as well. And, yes, I didn't take any pictures of any baseball games either. What is wrong with me? I must be getting old & tried or something. Once again, thank goodness for the pricey pics...

Coach Pitch was a lot of fun & Aiden really enjoyed it. He played just about every position throughout the season & was a great hitter as well.
So, there's your quick (picture-free) recap of both soccer & baseball seasons. Now we have a break for about a month before fall soccer starts up. Mike decided to volunteer to be a coach for it. I'm sure that will be interesting since he just had surgery on his shoulder a few weeks ago and will still be in a sling for the beginning of the season. Good times! More on his surgery next time I get a few minutes to sit down & write. --Lindsay

With three boys...you probably never have a "down sports season", right!?! You're always on the go, go, go.
We just purchased some "over-priced" dance recital pictures. So your comment on that made me smile.
I think my definition of "good mom" changes. I used to think it meant being at every son's event, involved at every son's event, documenting each part of every event in pictures and written word.
Now, I feel like if I register everyone for their class, lessons, event, or sport on time, and get them to practice or lessons etc., on time, and make sure either Cameron or I am there to support them, we're doing pretty good. The pictures usually happen, but not as many I used to take, and lately, blogging isn't happening. I usually resort to Instagram or FB, these days, for any sort of documentation.
Sometimes I don't take pictures just so I can feel more "present" and not have to worry about anything other than just enjoying the moment.
