And he played soccer!

Tyler had his second soccer game today and he actually played in it.  He didn't want to wear any of his uniform today, so I let him wear his Buzz Lightyear gray shirt and just some regular shorts.  He was still pretty defiant at times, but he did play a lot of the game.  We had bought him a play sword yesterday (against my better judgment) and I had to use that as leverage for him to go and play.
You could definitely tell who the three year old kids were compared to the four year old kids.  I am hoping that each game Tyler will do better and better.  By the end of the game Tyler didn't really want to run for the ball anymore, so he started playing goalie and did a really good job.  He stopped two balls from going in.  Unfortunately they don't have goalies on this league, so Tyler had to stop.  He wasn't too happy about that.  But it was fun seeing him stop the ball.  Maybe he will play goalie like his Mamma.
Next week we get to wear red, so maybe he will even wear his uniform.  The coach's kid was sick so she didn't go, so since Tony is the assistant he coached the team.  He did a good job and enjoyed it.  This week went much better then last time and it seemed like all the kids played a little better.

After the soccer game we went to Kennecott to go to a lunch with Tony's dad.  He sub contracts out with Kenecott a lot so he gets to go to there big lunch things every now and then.  It was fun to see around a little bit and to have lunch.  Tyler got to color, dress up in the fire man's uniform, and ride a bus up and down the big hill.  We had a pretty good time.

After that we went to Tony's parents to watch BYU get swashed.  It was a pretty sad game that I don't wish to relive.  I sure don't hope that it how the season is going to go.  Everyone is allowed one bad game, so I just hope that they got it out of their systems.  I enjoy watching the games, but it is much more fun when they play well.
