Johnny's Last Soccer Game






Johnny had his last soccer game this past Saturday. His team improved so much over the season and did really great! I guess that is what happens when you have it 3 times a week (which I won't miss at all)! Johnny's favorite thing was gaurding the goal. He did a great job his last game playing for the purple team because they didn't have enough people show up. We also enjoyed spending the season with our friends that are moving to Tennessee at the end of the school year. We're glad to have met them and had our kids be friends while we were here. After the game his coach put on a big party at a place called Bedroxx. It is like Peter Piper x 50, plus bowling. The kids had a really good time, but our friends went up to Phoenix to the temple for the day so they weren't there and we didn't really know anyone else. We tried to fit in and mingle a little, but it was hard. There are so many cultural differences here that make the whole experience so different. The coach was also having a birthday party at the same time so if you can imagine all the family members, friends, plus soccer kids, it was crazy! But they spent a lot of money on the kids to have a nice party and they got to bowl and play the games and have cake and pizza. At the end everyone got their soccer medal, trophy, and certificate. Johnny was beaming at his first trophy and wore his medal all day yesterday. It's too hot now to do soccer again, but we're proud of his improvements and look forward to the next activity!

Johnny what a great soccer player you are! I loved to see your handsome face amongst all the others. Do you have your arm around your best friend at soccer? We love you all so much and can hardly wait to see all of you when you come. Love you.

Looks like Johnny had fun!! Only in Arizona you can play soccer in the winter. Johnny will have to take up curling like his Dad when you move back to Utah for his winter sport!!
