End of an Era

When Braden was 5-years-old we enrolled him in Lehi City League soccer.  Kent volunteered as his coach, and all the little kindergarten kids in our neighborhood were on his team.  That was a fun season! It was very obvious early on that Braden was a natural, and at the end of that season he was encouraged to try out for a super league team called "Lehi Blaze".  Braden made the team, and loved it!  The next year his Blaze team joined up with a club travel team called "Arsenal". And now that team has been together for the last eleven years, including their coach.  I could not even begin to tally up the number of hours, days, weeks and months these boys have spent together with all the practices, games, travel time and tournaments. They are as close as brothers.  Wow, we have totally watched each of them grow up!  Today was their LAST EVER regular season game, the end of an era. How we will miss it! Love these boys.
