Taking home the blue ribbon!

This past week was an exciting week in our household because Stephen took part in the Special Olympics!  This year he was competing in the soccer competition which consisted of three mini skills test: in the first test he had to dribble the ball from one cone to the other (Stephen did this by focusing hard on not knocking the ball off his lap), the second test he had to shoot the ball into the net, and the third test was where he had to try and hit sets of cones with the soccer ball.  Needless to say, we were all super excited for Stephen to be participating this year but were even more excited when he WON FIRST PLACE in all three skills test!!!! :)  For those of you who are keeping count, that is 2 years participating in the Special Olympics and 2 years coming home with a blue ribbon!!

Everyone cheering Stephen on.

There it goes.....GOAL!!
