Chuck,
Welcome to the Sports Corner. You're following a path with your photography that many of us have traveled ahead of you. Looking at just these few photos you have posted, it's obvious you have everything you need to succeed in branching out with your chronicling of your children's lives.
Given your photographic abilities and what I can surmise about your approach to photography to this point, eventually you are going to be satisfied with nothing less than the best, which for many is the Canon 300 f/2.8 IS lens. Until then, the 300 f/4 would be a good choice. I don't know whether a 2x extender on the 135 is going to work very well. Another option is the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II. This is a beautiful lens, absolute workhorse for all sports photographers. It won't give you quite the range you will need eventually, but at the younger ages with smaller fields, if you are patient, you can get great shots of the action as it comes to you. I understand that this newer version of the 70-200 also does quite well with a 1.4x extender, so that would give you some flexibility.
Be sure to get in the habit of posting some of your photos here. I'll look forward to seeing them.
