Soccer Comes to an End

  It's always so hard to say goodbye to outdoor soccer because we absolutely love, love, love watching our kids play! Noah's last game of the season was probably the most exciting. His team ended up down 4-0 but rallied in the second half to end the game with a tie with one of those important goals coming from our No.

A nice throw in.

Gearing up for a big kick with that left foot of his.

One last tunnel! Check out Noah crawling his way through.

Receiving his trophy.

The Blue Tornadoes!

What a cute little soccer player!

Xander's team also had a great last game and ended up with a win which placed them in third for their league. Not too bad for their first year together!

In his final few games the coach had him play defense with the option to attack and score. Unfortunately Xander wasn't able to put any in the goal but he sure kept a lot of goals from being scored.

Hanging out with his team at the year-end team party. What a fun evening! We even ran into his old rec soccer coach who was wondering what had happened to Xander this season and wasn't too happy to see that he had lost Xander to a travel team.

Really kind words about Xander from Coach Kevin.

Another trophy to add to his growing collection.

Savannah's outdoor season ended with a tournament up in Pennsylvania on what could easily be called the coldest day of the century. We always have to be at her games 45 minutes early and about 10 minutes before her game had even started Noah was crying, begging us to take him home. We bundled up as best we could but we were so not prepared for the frigid cold.

I seriously do not know how Savannah survived playing in the cold. She refuses to wear leggings because she hates extra clothes on while she plays. Crazy!

They split their games, winning 1 and losing the other. They were guaranteed a game on Sunday but, due to the cold, the tournament was cancelled on Sunday. Yes, it was that cold! So, outdoor soccer is finished but our soccer lives continue with indoor! Soccer is never officially over for the Pierces!
