Soccer!

So fall time means soccer time!

We like to have the girls in some sort of sport each season. Winter- Gymnastics, Spring- (want to get her into T-Ball/Softball), Summer- swimming, and Fall- Soccer!

Soccer is very near and dear to the hub's heart being a soccer player through college and actually still is to this day. :)

This season we signed Bella up for a real soccer team through AYSO.

She LOVED it.

She started out a bit timid and the idea of stealing the ball from others and what not was very foreign to her. She's also the littlest on her, and most of the other, teams.

But after a little practice with daddy, she was a different player. She's fast, she's tough, and plays hard until the whistle blows. Her first goal was so exciting. She hit it in and immediately threw her arms up in excitement and flashed the brightest smile. Wish I had caught it.

She got several goals through out the season but I think she excels at defending, she works hard to not let anything get past her.

We also put Brynn is the beginner soccer class Bella did a couple years. Let's just say soccer is probably not her thang. Not because she's not good, she's actually pretty good and quite fast, but she just doesn't enjoy it. We made her stick the class out but every week it was a fight to go. She gets embarrassed SUPER easily, so if she felt silly or missed the ball or anything it mortified her. During the last class the kids play the mommies and daddies. She got the opportunity to make several goals and this definitely brought some confidence and happiness about playing back to her. :)

Here are some pics from the season:

A proud moment for the hubs as he helped coach his first baby girl!

Look at that face!
