We have been all over with Izzy playing soccer. First we headed down south to St. George. Her team played awesome! They walked away Champions! Izzy scored in every game, she even scored the 1 and only goal in the final game!!!
Next we were off to Boise, Idaho!
We decided that due to the price of gas we would fly. Airfare was cheap so we went ahead and booked our flights. Besides who wants to drive 5 hrs when you can get there in 45 minutes. Boy do I wish that was the case...
Matt is kind of a freak to travel with so we had to get to the airport an hour before we should have. Just in case! Well we were 1 hour early, even after checking bags and going through security! No problem we will just sit and wait. Besides I had missed the Royal Wedding and they were running it on CNN, so I was able to sit and watch. Well we waited and waited and then the news... our plane was delayed 2hrs!!! What!!! Sitting in the airport with Gracie is such a treat to begin with but sitting there with her for 3 hrs!!! I was not happy!!!! After a long wait we finally made it!! In the end probably only saving us about 1 hour!
It was so cold!
We would sit in the car between games just to stay warm!!!
Here are a few picture of me and the girls...
Izzy played so hard she got blisters from her new cleats!!!
#1 rule ... Don't buy new cleats before a tournament!
Gracie with her princess and the Frog magnets that she got while waiting in the airport! Probably the only reason I am still sane!
Her team did awesome!!!
They won every game!
They ended up playing a Utah team in the finals.

Izzy ready to kick off
They ended up winning this game 2-1!!!
Celebration Time!!!
Matt bought a lottery ticket before we left!
He thought this was his chance for millions!
We would have won $2.00!!! Just our luck!
Next up 3v3
This year Izzy and a few of her members of her team, did their first 3v3 tournament! This tournament is one of my favorites! Matt and Mason coached the team. They didn't have a great turn out for the tournament this year, so they had to combine different age groups to make sure each team was able to play. Izzy's team was put in an age group from u9-u12. We thought we were going to get creamed!!! These Girls played so hard! In the end they made it to the finals after a long hard day of game after game. They ended up playing a u11 Sparta team in the final. They lost ... but the girls were so excited to have come from behind to 2nd place!!!
After the game the girls were so exhausted. The other team was so cute and included our girls in their huddle. They knew how hard our girls had worked to get to the finals.
Both Sparta teams
Go Sparta!
