We got to Luke's game on Saturday night and were surprised to find a family from our ward there who has a daughter that is 9 almost 10 years old. We wondered what they were doing at our field and then were shocked to realize that their 9 year old's, all girls team was going to be playing our poor little 6 year old boys who were missing our top two players and our coach! YIKES! The league they play in is a little unorganized and I don't think they have as many teams as they would have liked and so this girls team had to play us. To make it fair they made a rule that the girls had to pass 3 times before they could score a goal. So thankfully they only beat us 6 to 1 instead of the whooping it could have been :) After our one and only goal the boys were so excited that they were jumping around and Luke says "Hey guys come here I have a plan". So the boys spontaneously stop the game to huddle and hear Luke's plan! It was cracking us up and Amy caught the moment beautifully with her camera! I asked Luke what he was saying and he was telling them "I know you don't like to pass, but we need to pass the ball and go around these girls, so pass it to me". It was pretty funny....we only had 5 boys there and they play 4 on 4 and so our boys had to work SO hard!
Each picture Amy took Luke has a very focused look on his face! Here is a picture of Luke's "fierce" kick as Amy called it :)
Here they are after the game, you can almost hear Luke and Carver saying "We got beat by a bunch of girls!"

Looks like a fun game..even if a bunch of girls won!!!
Amy, if you're reading this..what kind of camera do you have that let's you take such magnificent pictures?!?
HI-larious, Sar! I can't believe how much Luke is changing and growing. It looks like he has his dad's competitive spirit and his mom's leadership skills all wrapped up. What a great little package he is!!!
Amen to Lori's comment! Those were my thoughts exactly as I read your post! I can't believe Amy's camera and photography gift! You are so lucky! These are "to die for" photos!
Love you sooo much!

I loved the photo of Luke's fierce kick! He looks just like Matt!! I loved all the pictures and would've loved to be a fly hanging around that huddle! He'll be a great team captain someday. Love you! By the way, I loved the bike story, it sounded like 10 minutes of total chaos! Poor Luke
Oh my, that is so FUNNY! Those pictures are great. Amy is so talented! Good job Luke. Way to be a leader. And Gavin...you were just a baby! Good job big guy! And Emma, you are destined to greatness! (OK, Matt and Sara, you are pretty awesome too!) :)
Love you all, Lisa
So I asked Carver what Luke said in the huddle, and he said, "Luke said we should kick the ball around and stuff". Okay, so the "plan" may have been lost on Carver, but he did say, "Mom...I love it when we have a plan. It's SO AWESOME". So Obviously he loved being part of it. Luke is such a natural leader and it was about the cutest thing ever to see him say, "hey guys, I have a plan". And heck, I think they held their own with all those big girls. They were right on them the whole time.
"so pass it to me." I'm laughing out loud! That kid is Matt all over again.
