We tried soccer again this year (even though our last attempt was disastrous) and Hyrum actually did great. Turns out he is a gifted little goalie. He also loved running around with his friends and kicking the ball (most of the time in the wrong direction). But hey, at least he's a great keeper, right?
We spent most of the games running to keep Ivy off the field (maybe she'll be the Forward in the family). She can actually dribble the ball better than most of those 5 year olds (including Hyrum).
The only difficulty was the fact that it cut into our precious Saturday. The early Fall would have been the perfect time for day trips with the family, but it was impossible with the soccer schedule. I never realised what a hassle sports can be. I participated in soccer, track, and softball for so many years and never thought about the huge sacrifce it was for my whole family- not only financially, but the amount of time it takes. My parents were (and are) such an amazing support to me. I never heard them complain- they were just there, every game and meet cheering me on. So, so amazing, I will be forever grateful.

Yay, Hyrum! He's a brave little goalie out there. Nothing get's past him!
