Soccer babes!

Now that the season is almost over, how about I put up some soccer pictures?!?!?!? There will be a few more to come in the next couple weeks as we finish up.
For the first time ever, Sarah and Rachel played league soccer. Going into the season, I was a little nervous. Would they like it? Would they get bored and sit down on the field? Would they even understand the game itself? Especially the "no-touching-the-ball-with-your-hands-unless-you-are-the-goalie" thing???
Well, here is your answer........
Rachel- co-ed Kindergarten team

First practice. She loved to throw the ball in and chase it around!

Looks like a great game!

It was great to see her brave and running in to kick the ball!

Jumping around to get to the ball!

Rachel says she likes to be a defender or the goalie. So she can be ready to run in to help!

Sarah- girls soccer 2nd and 3rd grade team

Sarah listened a lot during her first practice. She was just taking it all in. Her coach warned us that a lot of times new girls will kind of hang back and let the others girls play more. Maybe next season she would be right in the middle of the action. That's what he said...

What really happened............

Sarah loves soccer and is so fast she follows the ball everywhere! I don't think she is ever nervous. She just wants to get out there and play! She loves to get in there and kick and pass and steal the ball! She doesn't like to be a defender like Rachel. She would rather play forward and be in the thick of things all the time!

Great kick Sarah!

I think her coach was so surprised that she rushed right in to play so quickly!

I LOVE Soccer!!!

Richard took a picture of us rooting the girls on!!!

So now that the season is almost over, what are we going to do about soccer??? I think we are really going to miss it! We will be playing in the field behind our house all summer for sure!

And we have already signed up for Fall Soccer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Softball season starts the beginning of June. Both Sarah and Rachel are playing it and Richard is Sarah's coach. What a blast! It is going to be a crazy and fun season for us! 2 games a week for each girl!!!!!! Hang on for the ride!
