First Soccer Game

Kayley's first game has come and gone. She was nervous for a second but got out there and did great! She got lots of kicks in there and played really well! The other team had girls who were five or six inches taller than most of the ones on her team and it seemed like they had played before. Her team "lost" but they don't actually keep score. And it didn't really bother her. It makes me proud that she is ok with losing. She had fun and that's all that counts!

I didn't think I would be so on edge the entire game! My competitive spirit came out and although I really hate my yelling voice, I yelled and rooted on our little number 5! There was a girl on the other team who looked just like Hillary did when she was little (Joanna pointed her out). Also, there's one girl on Kayley's team who spent a lot of the time at the other end of the field kicking the grass and having her back turned away from the action. She was hilarious to watch!

This was the day she got her jersey. She wanted a picture of the whole outfit. Hello, frizz!



Cole wanted his job to be picture taking. Please excuse him:)

Those girls on the other team look like giants! I love Cole as the photographer. His face is so serious in that picture. He must've been focused. Did the girl who looked like me have missing teeth and a mullet?

Love the pics. Can't wait for the next game.

Hill, the girl who looked like you looked more like a mini version of you now.. or like what you would have looked like as a child with all your teeth and full grown hair.

Ha ha ha! ...and a Dad... I love you Steph! How cute is precious little, oh I'm sorry, BIG Kayley?! When did they get permission to grow up? I don't like it. The cuteness of the soccer game just kills me though! I so wish I could go out there on Saturdays with you and watch them go at it! H would love to do something like that. (Can I get you a soccer mom sticker for your car? lol) I love that your Ma is a cheerleader! Mine would yell out and cheer for Will at games/matches...it was so embarrassing back then! (I was also a "tween" and trying to be cool! HA! what a joke!) Ok, enough with the book I'm writing.
