Soccer??

When soccer season started, I was expecting four games and two practices per week. That hasn't happened due to the wonderful Utah weather. Austin's first game was canceled due to snow, and Andrew's first game was canceled due to rain. The first game Austin made it to was the day after he hurt his elbow, so he only watched the game. Andrew spent his first game holding the coach's hand because he didn't like the other kids pushing him when he was going for the ball (he's the smallest/youngest kid on the team).

Here he is attached to his coach.

Andrew is doing better at soccer now. He's more aggressive and doesn't hang on the coach anymore. This is the third week of soccer, and he has played two and a half games. His game on Saturday made it through the first quarter before they called it due to snow.

Austin has yet to play his first soccer game. The two games that haven't been canceled he couldn't play in because of his elbow. We headed to his game tonight with high hopes that he would finally be able to play.

The wind was blowing like crazy and the rain was just barely coming down as we were setting up. Here's a picture of Ashley trying to get her blanket under control.


Austin was at least able to get warmed up and play a little with his teammates before the rain really started coming down and the game was canceled.

I love this action shot!

Austin has a game on Saturday, but he'll miss that because he's getting baptized. Hopefully he'll finally get to play next week!!
