Soccer Season...I'm lovin' it!

We have strict rule in our family...only one activity/sport at a time...exception...piano.  Maya has played for a couple of years now. Her first season wasn't so great, she totally didn't understand why her friends were kicking her.  But now she loves it! Eden has grown up going to Maya's games and she has wanted to play but she loved to dance more.  So in the past she has chosen dance. But this year she decided to give up dancing  (in the studio...not at home) and take up soccer.  She is awesome and I am so glad she gave it a chance.

I have to give up my Saturdays for eight weeks but that's okay. Because I get to watch this instead...

Eden's first goal!!!!!

Here she is walking back towards her fans feeling pretty proud of herself.

I love this picture of Aric giving Eden some advice and congratulating her on her first goal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maya's first time playing goalie...she was AWESOME!  She had three amazing saves....

September 2008 024 I was so proud of her.  She used to be afraid of the ball...now she is throwing herself in front of it!  She took a pretty good hit to the chest and didn't even flinch.  She was so excited because the coach was praising her goalie skills.  All the girls had a chance to play goalie but Maya was the best by far!

 

 

 

I love this picture because it totally captures our Soccer Saturday's...

And yes...those are Eden's glasses.  My sleezy (don't be alarmed we use that word in a loving way) sister in law Sarah got Maya and Eden each a pair to match hers.  They wear them everywhere.  Edee got lots of comments on hers that day.  I call her J-Lo whenever she wears them.

Even on the soccer field we do not sacrifice fashion for sport.  All soccer divas know this.

Those sunglasses are rockin'! I love soccer season too. My two older kids are doing it this year. Makes for crazy SAturdays like you said, but when they score a goal the look on their face is worth it all!

Those glasses aren't sleezy... they're just so Eden.

Love the soccer team names :)
