Yellow Card

Tristan started his soccer season this weekend and I've got to do the recap. Our first game was in Denver against the undefeated Chivas! It was such an exciting game, Tristan played in defense and was a wall! He even assisted a goal with his best friend Joel. We gave the Chivas their first loss in a year, 4-2.

The unusual thing that happened to us was that Tristan received his first yellow card. A yellow card is a warning for a foul or an attitude. His was for a foul and probably was warranted. He went over the back of another little boy but no one was hurt. Anyway, I was a bit shocked because Tristan cried when he got the card. It's not like he got a red or something. A red means that you are out of the game and that you have to miss the next game also. A yellow is just a warning but if you get 5 during the season you have to sit out a game.

Here he is walking off the field after the game. You would have thought he lost the game or something! Come to find out he thought we were going to be upset about the card.

Little did he know, we weren't upset! We even had to get a picture to commemorate this event!

And of course little brother has to join in on the fun! HA!

Tristan played his second game on Sunday in the Springs. At the beginning of the second half we were down 2-0 and I just knew we had lost the game. A little bit later we got a penalty kick and they let Tristan take it. Nerve wracking, but he made it! Joel scored a little after that and we ended with a tie, 2-2. We'll take it, they were a tough team!
