G-O-A-L!!!!!!!!!!

 This Spring Dallin, Ethan & Gavin have been taking swim lessons and playing soccer.  They have all enjoyed it for the most part, with an occasional "When is soccer over?" by Ethan.  Each of them has improved on their skills and done a great job!  We are proud of them!  Watching Gavin & Ethan play has been entertaining, funny and frustrating all at the same time.  Especially when they're playing with a weed in their hand instead of running after the ball. Since Dallin's games were often the same time as Ethan & Gavin's  - Tad watched Dallin's and Logan & I watched the other two.  Logan is their biggest fan, he was usually yelling, "Gavin, get the ball!" or "Ethan run faster!"  Guess that's what little brothers are for.....

Go Ethan!!!


 
                         I love this shot of the two of them waiting for the other team to kick off.

After Gavin made his first goal, he turned to me and smiled.  Not sure if it was because he was proud of himself or because that meant he earned a piece of candy.  As soon as we started offering candy for goals, they started running a little faster and making a goal or two.
Dallin really did a great job.  He mostly played full-back and really learned a lot.

It's kind of a happy sad that the season is over tomorrow...no more 8 am games, but no more soccer either.

YAY for AZ! It's much funner to play there in the sunshine than in the rain in Jersey. :) Thanks so much for your call yesterday. I wish we could have talked longer, but it was so nice to hear your voice. I felt like you were just up the street.

That is so cute! I love Logan's "seat", it looks like a perfect way to get a good veiw of the game! What fun for the boys to be involved in sports!
