Fall Soccer Season in review

Ben's game in Kayesville last night brought the Furniss Family Fall Soccer Season to a close. This post is dedicated to the sport that has dominated our lives since Matt started practicing with Ben's team in early July. Once Mitchell and Kenzie's games started this was a typical week for us. Monday-Game Ben, Tuesday-Practice Ben, Wednesday-Practice Mitchell, Friday-Practice Ben & Makenzie, Saturday Game-Mitchell, Kenzie, and Ben (a few times we had to split up or call in Grandma Dorothy & Papa Gene to get everyone where they needed to be on time).

This is Mitchell's team he played with our neighbor's triplets (Zach, Kate, & Jane Tew). The boy 2nd from the right ensured complete domination over all other teams.

Here are a few fun shots of Mitchell in action. Mitchell loved playing soccer. He loved having a cool blue uniform. He loved running. Matt would have to call to him to look for the ball as he ran from one side of the field to the other. Another thing that was cute is when Mithell would do a kick in from the side line he would get a running start from a few feet back.

Mitchell "looking good" and exchanging "fives" with his buddy Zach.

Makeznie was on a team was made up mostly of first time players. Needless to say they struggled through their season. Thanks to an awesome coach from the last team they played they were able to get a taste for scoring.

Makeznie played goalie in one of her games. She must not have liked it too much because she didn't ask to play goalie again. She did well as goalie though.

Ben's team went undefeated this season! It made for pleasant times in our house, Matt does not like to lose :). Congratulations Ben & Coach Furniss.

A couple of action shots!

The team and the coaches (minus Coach Taberas who was out of town).

Goodbye soccer (until indoor starts in January) followed by spring season. I had a dream a few nights ago that Matt said he was going to continue practicing 2 times a week even though our games were over. I was very relieved when I awoke and realized it was only a dream. Yeah I'm ready for a break!
