Dallin turned 15!
He also played varsity soccer. He was the only freshman who played varsity. When he was trying out I was worried that he wouldn't make the JV team and my dad kept insisting that he would make varsity. I just couldn't believe that, but dad was right. Dallin is number 14. It was a good season and so fun to watch him and his team play.
And I just have to share the Holbrook stadium. What a cool location. I did not take a picture of our stadium in Snowflake because it is not nearly as picturesque.
Some of my other boys played city league soccer. This is Thomas. Soccer season ended two weeks ago for city and last week for the high school. We are about soccer-ed out, but Thomas was invited to play on a select team at a tournament in a couple of weeks, so soccer will continue for him for a few weeks yet.
This is Drake. He came a long way this season, but he says he is not sure if he will play next year.
This is a picture of Tad taking the ball up the field.
Since you couldn't see his face in the action shot, I am sharing this one of him getting ready for kick-off. He had lots of fun this season.
Drake turned 10 at the end of October. I can't believe my fourth child is in the double-digits already!!
This is a horrible picture, but it was the best I could do in the ten seconds they would give me on Halloween morning. They were in a hurry to get to school.
As you can tell Thomas was thrilled to be dressing up, but that is what you get when you are Student Body President and you are in charge of the Halloween dance. (He was the Karate Kid, if you couldn't tell)
Jack was Draco Malfoy, Drake was Harry Potter, and Tad was Captain America.
Last weekend we took a trip up the mountain to cut and haul our winter wood supply. This is hard work and definitely a time when it pays to have five strong boys!! Dallin was super cooperative about letting me get a picture of him while he worked. Oh well, it was better than Jack - I couldn't get even one of him.
Thomas was just as cooperative with my picture taking. We'll just say he was focused on the work.
At least my little boys tried to muster up a semi-pleasant expression.
Thanks boys for all your hard work. I love having a nice fire in the fireplace every morning and evening in the winter. And it is nice that it helps keep the heating bill quite a bit lower too.
It has been a good couple of months for the Hatch family!
