Little Timber Kaden

Kaden's dreams came true this week. He got to play soccer on Jeld-Wen field. Zach and Amanda sponsored Kaden to soccer camp and we found one put on by the Timbers. Kaden got to play for three days, four hours each day with 100 other kids. Kaden was the youngest and so excited to play! He put on his Timber jersey and we got him shin guards and cleats and he was off. He looked like he belongs out there. Of course it was one of the hottest weeks in Portland but he braved the heat and learned new skills and played his heart out. I would figure he would be so exhausted by the end of the four hours but he wanted to keep playing when we got home. I think I was more emotional sending him off to the pitch then I was on his very first day of preschool. I enjoy seeing my kids love something so passionately. Kaden even got to meet one of the Timbers players: Diego Valeri. It was a very cool experience for him. I am very thankful he gets to do cool things like this. I guess I'm a real soccer mom now. We also got a minivan this week. Haha!! I think Addysen's first song she can fully song is going to be a Timber chant and not twinkle twinkle. Haha!
