We've had two soccer tournaments so far. The Sparta Cup I mentioned before wasn't so great - lost all 3 games. The Adidas Cup was much different. We won the first game 9-0, the second game 6-1, then 0-0 for the third. This put us in the semi-final game on Saturday. It was one of the most exciting, intense games I have ever seen any of my kids play. The teams were very well matched & it was a close game, but we won 4-3. Ashton was two of those four points, he was AWESOME during this game. I couldn't stop smiling for about an hour afterwards.
Team huddle before the start of the first game.

| He was taking the game very seriously & it payed off with two goals. I wish I had taken a picture of him after his goals, with his arms out wide & a huge grin on his face. But I was too busy clapping & hollering. |
The final game was between us and another Sparta team. I don't know how that works out exactly, but whatever. They were a younger team than us, so I was thinking we'd be able to pull it off. But they had an excellent keeper and just handled the ball better than we did. We lost 2-1.

| Ashton got past their defense with the ball and everyone was yelling & screaming. But their keeper stopped him. |

| The whole team & Coach Jay with their silver medals. Good job boys! |
It made for a long & hot Saturday. I didn't have any sunscreen, so Jared, Ashton & I got fried. Conner & Mallory didn't, weird. It was a lot of fun and by the end of the day my throat was killing me from yelling so much.
