Sick boys playing soccer!

My boys are sick and have not wanted to pass up on anything yet! They had their games yesterday and really hung in there like champs!

Aidan's game was first in Denver. This was the start of his season and man did he start with a bang! 3 goals, they call this a hat trick in which anyone who is wearing a hat takes it off and throws it on the field. This is what happened for my sweet Aidan. Awesome! His team ended up winning their first game 4-2!

Back to the Springs we go for Tristan's game. I was a bit more worried for him because he's a day or two behind Aidan with the cold and he was facing the #2 team in the state. They've never beat them before until yesterday, 1-0! Tristan pretty much had an easy game - he hung out in the defense and didn't move around much. They call his position "the sweeper" because he's the last person to get past until you reach the goalie. Luckily he didn't have that much action yesterday and when they did get past him they made a mistake or the wind became a factor. (We had 30 mph wind yesterday afternoon!) His team is 2-0 and you can see them sitting atop their division for the first time ever at http://www.csysa.org/schstand/IS09/80_5_21.html! (3Lions)

The boys have also finished up archery and I'm happy to share that Aidan won 2nd place for the 3rd grade in their competition!
