Dedication begins with competetive soccer


Tanner starting playing comp. soccer three seasons ago. They practice twice a week for two hours and have two games a week that we travel for, that is dedication. Their first spring season they went undefeated. Since then he has played up a year and plays with 11 and 12 year old boys. Tanner just turned 10 in February. Their team (the Flames) is a lot of fun to watch.... but different then watching Landons team. Tanners games are what I call.... full of anxiety! In one of the pictures Tanner scored a goal from hitting the ball in with his head. Tanner is very dedicated to soccer and loves it. He has especially love that Melissa and Adan have made it a ritual to come to his games. We all love that. Grandma, Tom and Amie, and Drew and Rae have also made it to a game or two. He really loves and appreciates the support. The only thing that is not so great about Tanners games it that they play in any weather. One of his games played this spring was out in Hyrum, Snowing, Wind blowing, and about 25 degrees outside. This last game the sun was out and Melissa and I both said we were not sure how to feel being warm at a soccer game. Anyway we are very proud of both our boys and love to watch them excel in soccer. OH!!!! YA!!! Brent said that I am making him look like a bad father because he is not on the blog! Really, That is not intentional.... Brent has been working very hard with Tanner to improve on his kicks. They have spent hours...... In Tanners last game Melissa commented on Tanners improvement.... I want Brent to know I love him and appreciate the work he does with his boys. And Tanner to know that we see his hard work and progress!!!!!!

Stacey, Oh, I remember soccer season. I loved it as a child, probably hectic as a parent! Sounds like you have some good little soccer players there! Awesome. It is so fun to be able to come and see how you and your family are doing! Thanks for your comments on my blog :)
