Some Artwork from Jude

Just because I am impressed and I love that he was thinking of himself as a knight defending a castle :)

A triple-header Saturday

Game 2 for Jaden's team in the tournament and they fought to a 3-3 tie.  We had miserable weather again as it was around 35-40 degrees outside and we had a solid drizzle of rain going for the whole game.  Jaden did have an assist during the game and once again the boys pulled the result out in the final minutes of the game with a score in the last minute to tie it up.

At the exact same slot, inside thankfully, Jacob's team played Game 1 of their tournament.  Unfortunately, they were routed 8-1.  I think the picture actually says a lot as I think the boys were frustrated...but unfortunately, this has pretty much been their lot all season as all the teams they play against are just a class above them.

Game 3 for the day was indoors thankfully as Jaden played with his town team in a 6-2 victory over the other Mendon-Upton Boys U12 team.  Which means that next week's game against them one more time will determine who places second and who places third in the league.

Quite busy are we right now...stay tuned for another triple-header tomorrow.

Soccer in New England

Don't let the small amount of sunshine in the photos fool you...today Jaden had the first game of the NEFC tournament in Taunton, MA.  It was only ~30 degrees for the game and that was before wind chill.  After wind chill, it was closer to 10 degrees.  Completely miserable for the players and all of us stuck on the sideline watching.

However, it was really nice to see Jaden's team actually play a game together, not give up after they were down 0-1 and to put 2 into the back of the net during the last 4 minutes of the game to win 2-1.

Even better, Jaden scored both goals!

MVP!  MVP!

Movie Night Out

We went to see the Lego Movie as a family last night.  It was a fun, and family friendly movie that had all of us laughing.  It is not many movies anymore where Mom, Dad, and all three of the boys will all enjoy the same picture...so for that alone, it was a success.  Everything is Awesome!
