soccer

soccer season is coming to a close.  the boys have worked hard.
try-outs for next season are this saturday.  

abe played a game yesterday in roy.  
it was quite the drive and it reminded of our life in ogden.  dave coached kai's team at the same time in heber so all the kids stayed with him and it was just abe and i.  i completely enjoyed our long drive/chat, watching him work hard, and then going out to dinner with him.  we got home around 10pm...late night and a lot of travel for one game, but so, so fun to spend a few hours just the two of us.

 my mom and dad made the trek to the game and really enjoyed watching him play.
 dinner at one of our favorite places!


kai finished his season a little early due to his broken arm.  dave coached him this year and was able to somehow fit it in and spend some important dad time with kai.   they moved up in their division half way through the season because they had done so well.  the move was difficult for their little team because they are definitely playing on a higher level now, but the boys have worked so hard and have improved.  
can you believe the backdrop for our games?  we live in such a beautiful place!

 dave is a great coach.  he really made them a good little team!  kai was the leading scorer before he broke his arm. 



 max played rec soccer and was very serious!
 he probably scored 8 goals on average per game.  he would score afew times, then start crossing it to help a girl on his team score. it was great.  he would dribble down, then gaurd the ball til she got positioned, then he would pass her the ball.  so many close shots... he felt really good when she finally got one in!  he is used to keeping up with his older brothers so he thinks it's  ridiculous that at his age they don't have goalies... i loved watching him!!!
