Soccer!!

Damon is playing his first season of soccer in Lindon, and it is just adorable!

He was excited to go to the first practice, but was really nervous once we got there. He has been going to primary so well lately, that I forgot how nervous he gets with new things and especially being away from his parents. As soon as we got there and he started holding onto my leg and crying, I remembered all those many many months of crying about nursery. He did decide to participate in practice for the last ten minutes, but was very timid about it. I wasn't sure how the game would go on Saturday, but he didn't have any problems going out on the field. He absolutely loved playing! 

His coaches were really surprised after how practice went. They called him their secret weapon. :) He wasn't timid at all and scored all 6 of the team's goals. 

I forgot how cute 3-year-old soccer is! It was so funny to watch all the kids grabbing the ball to put it where they wanted it, laying on the field, and having no clue when they had gone out of bounds and were playing on the field next to their own. :)

Damon knew just what to do though. My favorite part was his little strut after each goal he made. He would do the cutest little walk back to his coaches and give them a high five, then run over and give Rockwell a hug before he lined up for the next play. He was on cloud nine the rest of the day, and kept reminding us all how good he is at soccer. :) I love to see him proud of himself!

Rockwell had his first Lindon game right before Damon's game. He played SUCH a good game too. He scored 5 of his team's 6 goals, assisted the goal he didn't make, and played great defense. 

The last goal he made was awesome! Wyatt was playing goalie (which he did great at!), he blocked a shot and kicked it out far to Rockwell, who dribbled it past a defender and shot it high. The goalie's fingertips touched it, but he wasn't able to get high enough to block it. And that won the game. It was a great day for these boys!!

Rockwell finished his league in Provo this week too. It was a fun team this year. I'm loving watching Rockwell get better and better each season.
