Brigg scored his first goal to day, it was so awesome! Let's just say that his team is having fun, but the skills are really lacking. He plays on a team called the Killer Sharks, and it is his first year playing soccer so he is still figuring this sport out. We have had a few games so far and really the only thing he is been getting real good at is checking and body blocking the other team. Needless to say his team as not won any games until today. We played a team with a very similar lack of skill, so it was great for our guys to figure out what to do with out the ball being taking away. The Sharks were able to score 3 goals, one of which was Brigg's. The ball had been deflected by the goal keeper and Brigg was there to pound it in. I am not exaggerating either, normally he wiffs it or shanks it sideways. But this was a straight on, waist high kick right into the net. It was so cool to watch him, he acted like it was no big deal. Loren and I were pretty excited for him. After the game the first thing he wanted to do was call his grandparents to share the news with them. It was great!

you are a horrible mom....no pictures of this life-altering moment??? :)
no way! Karina plays on a team called the sharks, too!! They are the "light blue" jerseys!
Karina has finally found her place as the goalie! Which is awesome, she did great, and blocked basically every shot... except one that got by her, and of course - that was the only goal scored the whole game. Not bad though, since these guys were WAY better - and we couldn't even move the ball to the other side of the field!
Go Killer Sharks!
