We spent this weekend in Memphis at a soccer tournament for Ben and Alex. The soccer complex was AMAZING! One of the biggest I have seen so far. The boys had amazing games and great competition. Their teams BOTH made it into the semi-finals at the same time on Sunday, so William and I were running back and forth between the fields. They BOTH made it to the FINALS, and BOTH ended up tying (did I mention their finals games were also at the same time?)! They BOTH went to a PK shootout which can always go either way. The winds were blowing like CRAZY all weekend, with gusts up to 45 mph. Ben's team won his PK shootout and were the champions, and Alex's team came in second in their match and were the finalists. I am so proud of their hard work and the wonderful coaches that we have. They work the boys hard but also help build their self esteem and confidence at the same time! What a way to "finish" the fall season!

Trying to play in 40 mph winds is hard when you are only 26 pounds!
Good time to just roll down the hill
Over and over
My favorite shot...cheering on the team during the PK shootout
WINNERS!
