Soccer Weekend!

There are not too many things our family enjoys more than spending the weekend together at the soccer field! We have missed soccer games all summer and have been anxious to get the boy's seasons under way. Brandon's team was in a tournament in Phoenix this Labor Day weekend. Brandon was playing goal keeper the majority of the games which made the close games even more exciting and nerve wracking to watch.

Brandon's team fought hard in each game and ended up winning the whole tournament. They took 1st place and did not allow even 1 goal through 4 games. They impressively scored 11 goals. Last season was a year of development and there were many tournaments they ended without even 1 win so to win it all was even more special.


I had fun using my new camera to capture some action shots. These pictures don't do justice to the excitement and fun but hopefully they will help us remember the weekend for a long time.

Brandon was beyond excited after each victory leading up to the championship game on Sunday night!

The boys were awarded a 1st place medal and tournament t-shirt declaring they were the champions! Brandon slept in his shirt lastnight and then wore it all day today. I am washing it tonight so he can wear it to practice tomorrow night. The thrill of victory cannot be underestimated. He kept saying, "This is the best weekend ever!!"
