Andrew has been playing soccer for a while now and his only wish when we signed him up was that his uniform was not bright orange. Four of the years prior to this one his uniform has been a bright, neon, hunters orange and he wanted a change.
Alas. Luck was not on his side and he got a bright orange jersey again this year. Their team name was "The Barricades" which I thought was super clever.
He had a super fun team comprised of a couple kids from his school and many from our ward so the games were fun to go to not only to see Andrew play but to socialize.
They didn't make a goal until late in the season. One morning of the mom's said that the night before her daughter dreamed that they made a goal. When the mom asked if they won the game, her daughter said that she didn't know or care, she just remembered they made a goal. Her dream came true that day because they made a goal and everyone was so excited.
This was Liam's second year playing soccer and this year he got the game. He was so funny to watch because he was a totally different person on the field. He was aggressive and competitive and worked so hard to get to the ball. He usually would score a couple goals a game...although his first one of the game would more often than not find its way into the opponent's goal.
My brother in law was the coach so his cute cousin Jackson was on his team and also a few kiddos from our ward.
Seriously, enlarge this picture and take a look at his face.
Luke played baseball for Herriman city and despite putting up a stink about not wanting to play at the beginning of the season, I think he actually enjoyed himself. He did pretty well and although our team was not the best, the parents were super su;pportive and the boys had a fun time playing.
Luke received the game ball twice...I don't think it was supposed to happen that way but he felt pretty darn cool about it.
Liam just comes along for the entertainment.
Congrats on a successful sports season boys!

That is one intense face on Liam...determination, intent on doing a good job and getting that ball! Andrew looks like he is having a great time and does such a terrific job and then there is Luke's tongue as he is concentrating and waiting for what's to come. Love it and them!
