On a whim at high school registration, Tyson decided to do something he's never done before - participate in competitive athletics. Truth be told, the last time he played any sport was youth soccer at age 9. But in his eyes, high school was a new beginning and chance to do something new. Besides, what better way to get the attention of the girls? Ironically, at the end of his first practice he said to us, "Well ... I was wrong. There are no girls on the team." No ... that is why they call it 'boys soccer.' But on his first game day he was required to dress nice for school by wearing a shirt and tie. One of the girls then asked why he was dressed up. "Cause I'm on the soccer team" he responded. "Oh!" and she came a little closer and helped him straighten up his tie. Yes, girls can be a powerful source of motivation. As for his first game on the JV team? They lost 2 to 1 but he looked great out there on the field. We couldn't be more proud of him.

Yay! Tell me when he's playing; I love soccer!!! I'd bring the kids and we'd cheer him on!
Oh, and believe me, I will take you up on hints about photoshop. Like, how can I make colored pictures look more professional - is that too vast a question? Or do I just need to do a better job at taking pictures?
