Soccer Season Again!

"You can't just beat a team, you have to leave a lasting impression in their minds so they never want to see you again." ~Mia Hamm

It's soccer season again, which means all of our Saturday's for the next two months will be spent at the middle school watching Ethan and Audrey play soccer! We've been very lucky that our first three weeks have been rain free and we hope it lasts.

Ethan got his first goal of the season today! At his level, he and his teamates have come to realize that it's not as easy to score goals as it used to be!

Audrey is very enthusiastic about everything she tries and soccer is no different. She loves to get right in there! Of course, she still thinks the best thing about playing soccer are the treats at the end of the game and the trophy at the end of the season!

David has been a trooper and has finally got the hang of watching soccer. He now gets that he's not allowed to roam onto the soccer field and he's quite content to stay off if he has a little bag of crackers or someone (like cousins Meagan, Hannah, or Dallin) to play with him!

Just a spectator for now... my time is coming!
