Gem State Champions!

Both kids participated in the Gem State Tournament and after logging 16 hours on the soccer field, we were happy to come away with one first place finish and one 2nd place finish! But since my posts get a little Morgan heavy at times, this one is devoted to AJ! He played so well and we couldn't be prouder of our buddy!
Such a great group of boys!
A huge thanks to Michael Tobin for these incredible pictures, even though his son is on the other Rush team, he took some great shots of our boys!

Because we have two teams, sometimes they have to play each other in tournaments, which is such a bummer. Aidan and Hudson have been playing on the same team since kindergarten, so kind of odd to see them playing against each other...
And Aidan and Toby are such great buddies, but they play so hard against each other at game time!


Semi finals ended in a tie... Which led to penalty kicks. Which led to me not really looking because I can't handle the stress of it. But AJ for the goal!




Tournament time was followed by the best after party! The Hulquists were kind enough to host both teams in their pool and lovely backyard. I knew I was headed toward the right house as I was pulling up and could hear 20 little boys yelling at the top of their  lungs. They have kind neighbors.

Soccer moms! I couldn't imagine a better group of ladies to freeze with, get wind burned with, to cheer with and to laugh with!
