Flying Orange Dragon Slicers

Marcos at the first game. He held his roster folder the whole time and paced along the sidelines. So funny!

Playing the game. Dylan prefers to play defense and is quite good there, but Marcos has the kids rotate positions so they all learn a little of everything.


Marcos LOVES the huddle. He gives a great pep talk before, during and after the games!

This is most of the team - one player was missing from this picture


Yep, Dylan's soccer team was once again "the dragons"... only this year they kept adding words to it. They went from the orange dragons to the flying orange dragons to the flying orange dragon slicers. I'm guessing by the end of spring, their team name will be 10 words or so. :) It was an awesome soccer season! Marcos got roped into coaching as they were short on coaches this year. It was entertaining watching him pace the field like a professional coach the entire first game. He had told me how nervous he was and his mannerisms definitely confirmed it. He caught onto coaching quickly though and by the end was amazing. He definitely is good at motivating the kids! I was a spectator, soccer mom and wife of a soccer coach. It was basically just survival mode for me, but so nice to have something I wasn't in charge of since most of the kids' activities fall under my jurisdiction. Anyway, here are a few pictures from the season. I've got video somewhere, but can't find it at the moment so I won't post that part. Marcos got all teary-eyed like a proud papa after their final game. Softy! Just one of a million reasons why I love that man so much!
