Soccer Star

Abby started soccer practice this week! She has been very excited to say the least. On Saturday we went to Target and got her a ball, shin guards, socks, and new tennis shoes; she hasn't wanted to take them off since we got them.

At first she was very shy and hid behind me but once she warmed up she had a blast. Emotionally she did a lot better than the boys on her team ~ haven't they told them there's no crying in soccer? :-) She is the only girl and so cute with her little ponytails! I had to tell her that it's a rule in soccer that you have to have your hair in ponytails so you can see when you're running. She's buying it for now!

Here she is getting ready to kick a goal, notice her tongue hanging out! That is coach Nate in the background.

Great form don't you think?

Here she is with her team and two coaches. Coach Nate on the right and Coach Mike on the left.
Her first game is on September 13th at the Thornton Rec Center Multipurpose fields if anyone wants to come out and see her.
