World Cup

 We spent the majority of our day at the soccer field today! Hyrum and Joe participated in the World Cup tournament and had a fun afternoon of soccer! They had a pretty good cheering squad between Daddy, Grampa and I, along with Ollie who loved chanting "Go JOE! Go JOE!" over and over and over. They've learned a lot already this year and it's so fun seeing their confidence grow on the field. Joe loves running around and only stopped moving when he was in net. He told me after that he scored ten goals (but I know how much he likes to exaggerate). He played well though and had fun! The highlight for him was receiving his medal and a brand new soccer ball at the end of the day. Hyrum zipped around the field and hustled hard after the ball. He is learning to pass to his team mates and look around the field a little bit more. He ran the ball down so many times and almost scored a few balls. He also was super tough when he got the ball kicked in his face. At the beginning of the season he wasn't sure if he wanted to play, but now he tells me he loves soccer even more than hockey or any other sport, so I'm glad I followed my intuition and registered him this year. He would have been terribly bored watching his brother play all season.  Good job boys!
