As Grandpa Hooper would say "Logan, you have arrived. Why do we do our best? To get our names in the paper! And why do we want our names in the paper? Because chicks dig it!"

The team each recieved a champion t-shirt and their picture in the local newspaper.

It was such an exciting game, I thought I left my camera at home and found it in my bag in the car afterwards. Of course! Logan won the championship soccer game today! And when I say Logan (of course I mean the team helped), but he scored the one official playing time goal which tied the game 1-1. Then they had a shoot out! If you've never seen Brad stressed, well today would have been the day. So he had to pick 5 players to shoot the ball and 1 goalie to save the day, or season. So the other team shoots first. And mind you, these kids look twice our size. The first one misses to the side. Our team shoots and scores. There team shoots, goalie saves it. Our team shoots and scores. There team shoots and kicks way over the post. So Logan is next and to secure the win, his dad is not looking, Logan is waiting for the whistle, his dad is still not looking, he kicks, his dad finally watches after shutting up the rest of the team, and he scores!! Brad and I are nearly in tears. It was an awesome game and an awesome short season!!
Thanks to a great coach, these 5-6 graders had a great record and a great time too!

Despite the cold December, we got everybody to smile. Thanks for taking the pictures Brett.

Oh my goodness! I'm not that old am I? Look at this good looking kid. He will be 11 at the end of the month, my how time flies. Logan is the best kid anyone could ask for. He is very thoughtful of others, polite, and a very good helper without being asked. He does very well in school and loves playing soccer, helps grandpa teach karate and takes babysitting very seriously when put in charge.

Oh Adelin. She's so beautiful it's scary (as a parent). Although with 3 brothers, I'd say she is the toughest. She just had her tonsils and adnoids out and loved being spoiled when she woke up, but acted very annoyed with the nurses and i.v. She is very much a girlie girl and loves to sing and dance like her mom, but can hold her own when pushed into a corner.

Here is our sweet Taggert. Always smiling and care free. He would rather hang out at home than do anything else, but occassionally likes to go for mozarella sticks at Arby's. He is very smart and thinks he might by ready for kindergarten though he's not sure about mom and Miss Andy not being the teachers.

This is our Drexton. The mischevious grin and the snowball says it all. He is all boy and can hear a motorbike a mile away. Vroom vroom!
