Brian has been taking some great pictures of the boys playing soccer this season. Here are some of my favorites:

This is Aiden’s team during a tournament they did over memorial day weekend. Aiden is #10. I call this “words of wisdom” 

Ready for Battle! Team Fluminense (flume-in-en-see) <—these are the kinds of names you get when you play with a Brazilian foot-skills soccer club :)  

Aiden is the littlest guy in yellow. This is from a non-tournament game

This is hard to see, but I called this picture “no more lemons before corner kicks” because Logan is making a horrible face.

This is the picture following “lemon face” where Logan blocks the shot with his head. I was DYING laughing at this picture because one of the other players in like karate kicking through the legs of the tall kid in white while another team mate like holds on to his hand. Logan’s coach is my friend Anne and I was sending her pictures all afternoon one day with captions and “conversations” to them.

Logan getting ready to take the field in the Memorial Day Tournament. His team is called Portuguesa (port-u-gay-sa)  

Logan in goal. He usually plays at least a quarter of every game as goalie. He’s not bad either! 

This is a team picture Brian took after Logan’s team beat the one pictured above to play in the championship game during the tournament.    

They did not end up beating their final team, but it was a HUGE win for them. The had previously played the same team and lost BIG…like BIG (12-0 or something like that). They were actually winning 1-0 with 4 minutes left, but a ball bounced off one of our own players and they ended up losing by 1 goal. They still got medals and a trophy. Logan, ever the competitive guy, was sad to take 2nd place…but we were SO proud of the effort the entire team showed that day. Logan is in blue because he played goal during the end of the game.

 

This is the medals ceremony. L is #22
