Go Shockers!

Hyrum had his first soccer game on April 12th. He was so excited to have grandma, papa and Sean there for his first big game. He was also thrilled to be able to wear his new soccer jersey with the number 13; in honor of his aunt Camille. Hyrum loves playing soccer. Also, don't forget his cool blue soccer shoes. He is pretty pumped to wear his blue shoes.

He loves running and kicking the ball. He also really enjoys playing with his friends. It was so cute, during the game he would come off the field to get a high-five from everyone and then he would go out and play again. Two minutes later, he would be back for his high-five. You could tell he was so pleased to be on the field playing with all the kids.It was so cold during the game. Most of the kids on Hyrum's team decided that they would rather huddle in their blankets then play. Hyrum decided that he would rather play the game, so he got to play almost the whole game. He was in heaven! Hyrum ended up wearing his jacket during the game due to the cold.
On the down side, we have only had a couple games and practices so far due to all the rain. Hyrum has been very disappointed that he hasn't been able to play soccer with his team.
We also brought our video camera to the game, but we were almost out of tape. Don't worry, we will be sure to post some video clips of him playing soccer.
