Soccer 11.01

It's Saturday and of course that means soccer time again!  Here's the weekly update:

Traevn/Brekken:  They played awesome!!! Their team won and they all played their best!!  Go Blue Dragons!

Peyton:  His team stayed undefeated yet again this week!  Peyton was in his own little zone and was more into being dramatic and playing around then playing a game!  He kept falling down and being all dramatic about it (I think he was having a candy hangover from the night before.)  Luckily they were able to win!!

and 

Karter:  His team had a bye week so we were able to have a little break! 

Good Job!

Soccer 10.25.08

Saturday was once again soccer time!! The weather was good and the kids were ready to play!

Karter's team played Noah's team.  He played really hard, but their team wasn't able to beat Noahs!! (He was happy that Noah won though)

Karter on the field!

Karter getting the ball away from Noah!

Traevn and Brekken both played awesome, although Traevn got a little tired during the middle of it (it was because he stayed up so late on Friday night:)) 

Going after the ball!!

Brekken (#5) is not afraid of getting the ball away from the other team!

Their team tied!!

Peyton's team once again dominated the field!! They are undefeated so far!! 

It is so fun to watch Peyton, he gets so intense!!

Once again, good job boys and thanks for keeping our Saturdays packed full of fun!!

We love you!!

Soccer 10/11

Look at his determination!

Soccer Update 10/11

Soccer yesterday was in one word, COLD!!  We have been anticipating the cooler weather, but to go from way warm to ice cold overnight is a little too fast for us warm-blooded people.

Once again Peyton, Brekken, and Traevn's games were all at the same time.  So I went to Peyton's game and Nate coached the other game.

Peyton: What could I possibly add... Peyton's team rocked even in the cold weather.  Most of them came bundled and ready to play.  Peyton scored 2 goals and helped to take his team to yet another victory!!  He was so funny because in between plays he would do this funky little dance (I guess he was just trying to keep his muscles warm.)  Good job Peyton!!

Traevn & Brekken:  Even though I only caught the last quarter of their game, they both played awesome.  I was sad because I missed Traevn make a goal!!!  He was so proud of himself.  Brekken ran his little heart out and helped his team out a lot!!! They are both improving so much this year and we couldn't be more proud!  Good job Trae & Brek!!!

Karter:  Kart's game was postponed until 6:00 PM and by then it was really cold and windy.  The kids and I were all bundled up on our bench with as many blankets as we could fit around us!  Karter's team played the team his was on last year and even though he wanted to beat them the gamed ended up in a tie (which is just as good) so he was happy!!!  He is such a good player and team mate to the other players on his team!! Good job Kart!!!

We love you boys and enjoy watching you play each week, keep up the good playing!! 

*This week we get a little bit of a break since it is UEA weekend! Also, I was only able to get a couple pictures of Peyton because it was too cold to bring my hands out to take the pictures!! Hopefully next week I will get some more!

Soccer update for 9.27

Soccer Games

Brekken/Traevn:  Started at 9 AM, which was the same time as Peyton's so I was only able to catch the very end of it.  They didn't win, but Nate had to end up coaching both teams playing because the other coach didn't show up..(we should of automatically won due to that, but go figure)  They played really hard and were both disappointed with their loss.  I told them that it's okay to lose as long as you played your best.

Peyton:  I went to his game, and once again.......he dominated!!! He is such a good player, and it's amazing that he knows the stuff he does, especially at his age. (I guess sitting on the sidelines and watching his older brothers' games over the years taught him something:)

His team won!!  Good job Peyter-pie!!

Karter:  He played his game up in Cedar City.  So after the other boys' games we took off to Cedar to play the #1 ranked team in his bracket!  Our boys played their best game yet, but didn't end up winning.  It was fun to travel up there anyway, afterwards we ate at The Pizza Factory.

You boys played awesome!!  We love you!!

9.20 Soccer Update

The soccer games started off early on Saturday.....8 AM....

Karter:  His team started off so good.....They played so hard. The thing about his team is that with one/no substitutes the boys' have to play the entire length of the game.  Also, it seems that as soon as the other team scores a couple of goals (even if they are ahead) they become discouraged!! They played really hard, but unfortunately didn't win this week!!  Good game Kart!

Traevn/Brekken:  Their team won 5-0!!  They rocked.   They played hard and it showed!! 

Peyton:  He dominated the game once again.   His team won 6-1!!! He scored 5 goals all by himself!!! He is quite an animal on the field!!

GOOD JOB BOYS!!!!

9.13 Soccer Games

Update of Saturday's Soccer Games

KARTER: This was the first week of games for Karter's team ALLIANCE.... This is his second season playing for a comp team. They played really hard... Their game was in the middle of the afternoon in the dead heat of the day!! They were dying, but they played awesome! His team only has enough boys (if they all show up) for one substitute, which means that most of the boys play the entire game without a break..... Tough boys!!! They were aggressive and played well. I can't wait to watch Karter develop more in this game. Good job Kart!!

TRAEVN & BREKKEN: The BLUE DRAGON'S game was good. This week they played a little more aggressively and are working more as a team. They played awesome even though the other team didn't follow all the rules! It's frustrating when other teams don't play by the league rules, but our boys still played with all their hearts. Good job Trae and Brek!!

PEYTON: His team played so good. I love to watch how unafraid he is to get right in there with the bigger kids and take over. He has absolutely no fear whatsoever!! He loves playing the game. They have renamed their team the YELLOW SHARKS (much better, don't you think?) When he is out on the field he is so focused on being in the game, and when he is on the sidelines he shows his support to his team by cheering them on (seriously so cute)! Good job Peyt!!

Soccer Season has Begun!!!

Yes the season has officially started at the Abbott house!! We love fall when the boys get to start playing soccer! Karter, Traevn, Brekken, and Peyton are all playing this year (Brynlei has to sadly wait one more year:)) This is Peyton's 1st year and he has been anxiously awaiting his turn to play. Saturday started with Traevn & Brekken's team The Blue Dragons (luckily they are on the same team). They played really good but were sad that they didn't win this one. Then a couple of hours later was Peyton's 1st game. He rocked!! He scored three goals and led his team to their 1st victory!! (No team name yet although the little boys have tentatively named it The Yellow Glasses:)) He was so funny to watch, he would cheer after every goal made and do a little victory dance. Karter is playing competitive league again and his games don't start until this coming Saturday, so stay tuned..... Also, Nate is coaching two of the teams.... He is coaching Traevn & Brekken's team and Karter's team!!! We stay pretty busy during soccer season but we love it.... The kids really didn't have a chance it's in their blood (thanks to their daddy:))
Stay tuned for pictures next week and weekly updates!!!
