Nate in his Goalie shirt

Here is Nate at half time in his yellow Goalie Shirt he is the best looking kid on the team!

Sports, men and soccer

I have probably had the worse experience ever trying to help out with Nate's soccer team, first there are two men who have to be in control and in the beginning they were not the coaches, they were his football coach's not the "Futbol" ones. The coach is a nice kid named Joey who really knows soccer but is a young return missionary with no organization skills. Layne and I had been asked to help out in the beginning because we have experience coaching soccer but today We quit.
I have had it with these crazy men, the one sent an email announcing he is the Owner and manager of the team, the other who keeps telling me he does not want to be in charge keeps taking over but seems to leave us out of his decision making and communication. They seem to only talk to each other and their LDS ward friends. so we have no idea what is happening or who is showing up to coach or if games are cancelled , I have myself on hold waiting, not knowing and I need to keep the household organized and on schedule. I also field calls from angry mothers who know us. The whole thing is a total joke. These men are total controlling high on steroid's "I'm the man I'm the boss" and just real pains in the ass. Today I felt such relief sending the "I quit" email to them. Nate will keep playing but it will be just for fun and nothing serious if we feel like not showing up we won't or if there is something else to do on our Saturday we will be gone. Honestly I have never seen anything like these people in all the years we have volunteered. We have seen a lot in sports, from basketball where parents try to run each other over in parking lots to crazy football & baseball parents who scream and hit their children when they do not win. The leagues are full of ugly people and my suggestion to all young families play instruments. Music can be competitive in the upper grades but musicians are nice good people, the whole sports thing has gotten out of hand and people go crazy putting too much pressure on the kids. What happen to being good sportmans? or just having fun?

Layne AKA drummer, singer extraordinaire

This is not the best video it is from my Cannon Power shot but Layne sang and played drums kinda like Phil Collins. I thought the world should hear him. Nate , Layne and myself all headed to the bands hideout near Jordenelle Reservoir near Park City on a snowy April Saturday. It was beautiful there, his band mate's home was big beautiful log home overlooking the lake. Nate played with his boy Carter and we enjoyed the music.
