We had the wildest Saturday we have had in a long time this past weekend. The boys had their first soccer games as well as their last basketball game. It was so much fun and so chaotic all rolled into one.
Cute Coach Josh. Last season Josh worked so hard with the kids teaching them how to play soccer instead of letting them run in a pack after the ball. He wanted them to actually learn a skill. So many times I wanted to tell him to let it go, they simply were not ready to be on that level. Well, this season it paid off. I was so impressed as the boys passed, dribbled and scored over and over. They were setting up plays and finally figured out what he has been telling them. They were amazing. I have never seen kids this young play like that. They should thank Josh for all of his patience. He is really an amazing coach.
Lincoln and Hunter had a ball on the toys and I really didn't see them the entire game (not that I didn't see them, but they didn't see me).
After Palmer's soccer game, we ran home, got the boys changed into their basketball clothes, ate lunch, ran to get the treats for the b-ball game as well as Hunter and Lincoln's soccer game and we were off to the final basketball game of the season.
Palmer was quite the little basketball player. It was fun to see each of the boys improve over this season. I think all three of them definitely made a step up.
Cute McKay. I seriously love this kid. Isn't he cute?
Lincoln had a pretty good season. He played in every game, and we really didn't have that many tantrums. He keeps telling me he wants to go and practice playing basketball.
The boys with their amazing trophies. Have I mentioned how many trophies we have? Well, it is a lot.
Our basketball game ended at 12:00 and we had a soccer game that Josh had to coach at 12:00 pm so he had to leave early, had his assistant finish up the game, I gave our all of the trophies and the pictures and we bolted for the door.
We were frantic as we ran to the car, buckled the boys in and the immediately started changing for soccer (all while seatbelted in I might add). I was pretty impressed that by the time we got to the soccer field they were all dressed except for their cleats. I am so glad we don't have to do that every week!
Lincoln has come such a long way. Last year we were on the verge on not having him play soccer at all. He didn't seem to enjoy it and spent the whole time wanting Josh to hold him. We didn't sign him up for Fall soccer, but they gave us an extra uniform for him because Josh's team didn't have enough players. Lincoln decided he would dress for the game and ended up loving it, scoring a ton of goals and really is awesome. I am so glad that happened and we didn't pull him out completely.
Lincoln and his buddy Jackson.
Once this game was over we went home and the boys and Josh and I worked on our house, made a treat for the ward swim party, ate dinner and they were off to our ward swim party. Usually I would not pass up an opportunity to take pictures of the boys having fun (I wasn't about to be humiliated sporting swimwear myself), but McKay has been so fussy (I think we are fighting an ear infection-doctor tomorrow) and I didn't want to take an unhappy baby.
