Nellie and Lizzy started soccer this year. It is the first year for both of them and they both were so very excited to start. They were so excited to go and get all their soccer gear, I on the other hand wasn't real thrilled about how much it cost us, but hopefully they will be able to wear it all next year or at least most of it so that it won't be so expensive next year.
Nellie is funny because she likes to wear her shin guards on the outside so that everyone can see them.
Janie wants to be a part of it too.
The first week Nellie seemed really uninterested in actually playing, and I was worried that it was going to be a long season with her. When it was her turn she just wanted to go play on the playground. But the second week she did so much better and actually seemed interested. She was asked to play goalie and I was worried because of the pressure of it, but she loved it. She didn't let any goals in and she was a natural at pouncing on the ball when it came close. We told her she pounced on them just like a jaguar and she thought that was pretty cool. The funny thing was she actually got mad when it looked like the ball was going to come her way and then it got turned around, she really wanted it to come to her so she could get it.
Lizzy is #9. She has done so good already even though it is her first year. She actually scored the first goal in the first game, which was pretty cool. She has so much natural athletic ability. She is one of those kids that just seems to be good at everything.
She is so cute out there on the field. It is so fun to be a soccer mom and go root for my kids. Even though it may be taking over our life for the time being, it is still a lot of fun. We have practice Mondays Wednesdays and Thursdays and games on Saturdays. It is crazy but fun. I love watching Kevin with the girls too, because he loves to help and coach them. It is so his thing.
Nellie is such a cutie too, she was not very happy the week she couldn't wear her jersey green, such a funny girl.
Janie has fun going to the games too and getting treats and cheering for her sisters. Although she is a bit obsessed with Kevin and when he has to ref or coach she gets mad and cries for him the whole time. What a silly girl.

Such cute girls!!! How, 3 practices a week?? I bet that keeps you all busy! After my boys playing for 5 years they decided to not play this year. I have to say I had no problem with that. I was getting tired of it also. Kids here always where their shin guards on the outside. Then they fold the top of their sock down, over it. So Nellie has the right idea!! :)
