Taylor's youngest sibling Barbara played soccer all throughout high school and though I never saw her play in a game I have to say thank you to her. Because of her passion for soccer, her mom decided to get season tickets when a professional soccer team settled in Salt Lake a few years ago. We've gotten to tag along several times and it's always a blast.
This is actually an acurate picture of how Ethan watches the games. He's completely immersed and intense throughout the whole thing- always has been. Even as a 1 year old he'd sit on our laps and watch the whole game following the ball back and forth. Isaac is not nearly as entertained. He's happy to go but he wants to walk around and climb on people and barely even glances at the game to notice that something is going on.
Last year they finished the new soccer stadium so they don't have to play on a football field anymore. It's beautiful and a lot of fun.
Because Taylor was studying for the BAR most of the summer I got to go along with his parents and Ethan more often. L to R Grams, Ethan, Grandpa. If you've noticed the red jerseys the boys keep wearing, it's because REAL Salt Lake (yep, weird team name) are red with blue and yellow accents. I've come to the conclusion that buying souvenirs on vacations is often a waste, but soccer jerseys actually get worn so our Christmas trip to Portugal was great and luckily their country team is red.
And sometimes when Taylor's parents were out of town, we got to take all the tickets to the game. So one night in July Isaac and I met up with my brother Jeff, sister Kristina and her husband Fred and their baby Evan. Taylor and Ethan went to see Up so don't feel too bad for them. Tragically REAL was only so-so this year and probably won't be going to any playoffs, but they were lots of fun to watch. Can't wait for next summer!

I still remember when Ethan was about 2, I was watching him and you called to let me know you were on your way back. You heard him hollering in the background and asked if something was wrong. Nope. From clear across the apartment, he'd noticed Adam watching soccer highlights on the computer and bolted toward him, yelling, "GOOOOAL!" It was hilarious, and still one of my favorite memories of Ethan.
What? No mention of the crazy crowd and police escorts!
