RSL

We are soccer fans. In Spanish, it's "fanaticos", and I think fanatics is a great way to describe Ricardo and the boys. Ella and I like to watch the people! We've had season tickets with ReAl Salt Lake since their first season here in Salt Lake in 2005. It's been a great family activity and the soccer has been pretty good too! We started painting Luca's head that first season and it has become tradition. The boys are well known at the stadium and are often stopped for pictures. A photographer at the games took some pretty cool shots of Anthony, Luca, and Aiden. ( http://aylsoccer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=762&Itemid=10176) Anthony really likes the attention, I'm not too sure about Luca. We love hanging out with our friends, especially those we don't get to see often (that means you Norman Family!). We can't wait for the new stadium! Go RSL!

Hair!

Summertime brings summer haircuts. In our house, those summer cuts come in stages. We start with the spring cut, also know as the soccer cut or mohawk. The boys have had mohawks for the start of the soccer season in April for the past 2 years (Luca has had one since he was 3 - his choice). This year Aiden ended up with one as well. Luca kept his for about a month and then asked for a buzz. Anthony lasted quite a bit longer, maybe 2 months. Aiden was the last hold-out. Every time we tried to cut it, he would put his hand over it and tell us no. We finally decided to start July with a buzzed head and the mohawk had to go. Aiden was OK with it at first, until he saw the hair fall, then he grabbed a handful of the cut hair and put it on his head. When that fell off, he continued to place his hand over his head and asked for his "pelo". He got over it pretty quickly and life is back to normal. We'll have to see how everyone's hair grows back in now!
