Spring Soccer


Spring soccer has started! Last fall Shantel had so much fun playing on an all girls team she wanted to play again and Kallie decided that she wanted to give it a try this time too. Shantel is on her cousin Ella's team again, which is a lot of fun for her. Kallie is on the preschool team with a bunch of new little girls and is excited to make new friends. Last Saturday was their first big game, and luckily the weather was decent.

The nerd mom of me came out and I picked the same numbers for the girls. I know, they need to be their own person, but I might as well do it while I can until they care enough to pick their own number instead of leaving it up to me!!! But you can't tell me they don't look cute!
Shantel has really learned to hustle and get after that ball. She is not afraid to go after it. It is fun for her to be on a team with her cousin, but the team she played against had 3 little girls from her school class. We was a little bummed that she doesn't get to play with their team. I guess next season we will have to get her with her school friends. She almost scored a goal this time and was really excited for that. Better luck next time!
Kallie had a blast! Her new team is really cute. Little kid sports are real fun to watch. They all chase the ball and try to kick it. They run into eachother and fall down and even cry a little. Her coach is amazing with kids and is very good with them. She has already made a little friend named Katie.
I am proud to announce that Kallie did score a goal! It was for the other team in her own goal, but she dribbled that ball ALL the way from one end to the other and scored. She was a little bummed to find out it was the wrong side, but we were proud of her anyway. We just explained that she just needs to do it again...just the other way! She had so much fun and asks every day when her next game is.
