2008 US Nationals

Ryan was in Little Rock, Arkansas this week for the 2008 US Soccer National Championships. Both of Ryan's teams made it to the finals. Ryan's parents and I drove up to Little Rock yesterday so we could watch the big games today. BOTH of Ryan's teams WON! The 91 girls ended up in double overtime and the game was decided in penalty kicks. The 92 girls won 4-2. It was so exciting. I was so proud of Ryan and his girls. They did awesome and it proved all of their hard work this year paid off. Two other Dallas Texans teams won as well which made a total of 4 National championships this year - making them the first club to win 4 in one year. What an amazing accomplishment. Here are a few pics I got from the day:

So happy for him!

Congratulations! Way to go.

Pictures are great! What a wonderful accomplishment - both of you show so much pride on your faces! So glad we got to keep Brayden while you were away. He is so precious and we would do it again in a heart beat. Love you all, Nana
