Star Soccer Player and little Cheerleader!

Colton was so excited about his "soccer clothes" because these are the clothes that his uncles wear for soccer. He loves his uncles, Morgan and Brandon, and surely idolisms them when it comes to playing soccer, he was hoping to look just like them. He even wanted great shoes like Uncle Brandon so Colton is wear white Puma cleats with the laces on the side. Run Colton Run!!
This year Colton is playing on a YMCA team in Lodi, CA with his best buddy, Micah (seen on the left in the zip-up sweat jacket). They are by far the stars of the team. So far Micah scored lots of goals last game and Colton was assisting and this game Colton scored lots of goals and Micah was assisting. Unfortunately, they take turns being bummed when they don't score, too.
Colton has gotten a lot better this year with dribbling the ball down field and turning it to score!
Here is our little pink cheerleader. She is bummed that she doesn't get to play, just a few more years and her turn will come. But she yells "GO, GO, Go CO CO!!" (Co Co is Colton in Sarah language.) I think it was Crystal that first taught her to say Go!! Thanks!
Even though Jay is a big football and basketball fan and would never have gotten into soccer if it wasn't for the Gilliam family(me, my brothers and parents) he is really enjoying playing with Colton and watching him play! We, as a family, have really enjoyed sports together.

I love my cute niece and nephew! Colton always talks to me about Micah and now I know who he is! They must have so much fun playing soccer together. Colton looks like a real hard core soccer player in that outfit! He is styling! Brandon would be proud. I love that picture of Sarah. I think its so cute she says "Go GO!" she is growing up so fast!
