We signed the older two up for soccer this year and they are loving it! Camilla had one practise already this week, but Hyrum's was snowed out and rescheduled for today. Thankfully we woke to blue skies and sunshine! If it wasn't for the wind, it would have been perfect! This morning Hyrum woke up excited to play and told me he really just wanted to score a goal today. Hyrum played this morning and it was quite humorous watching him get the hang of it. For the first half he really wasn't sure where to run or what to do. If he did get the ball he would kick it and freeze on the spot in a funny pose until the ball stopped. It was so hard to sit on the sidelines and not coach him along! He eventually figured it out though and scored his first goal in the last few minutes of practise. He was pretty pumped.
We got to see the replay at least ten times after. "I just ran like this, kicked the ball, and then fell like this!" We grabbed slurpies on the way home to cool off!
Miss Camilla played her little heart out at her practise/game this afternoon. After playing once this week and cheering on her brother this morning she has really gotten the hang of it! It was great to watch her run around the field and try hard to get the ball and score. She got a grand total of four goals (except two were on her own net). It absolutely melted my heart to watch her give the ball up to a team mate so that he could score and feel good about himself too. She is just the sweetest! It was a proud mommy moment.
As soon as she finished her practise and walked off the field Joe ran up and threw his arms around her. "Wee-a! Good job Wee-a!" When he wasn't trying to take out the flags, kick over the pilons, or run away across the park, he was the best cheerleader a kid could ask for. We all came home with sun in our hair, sunkissed skin and smiles on our faces.
