My soccer girls...

This weekend we had 5 games with all 4 girls playing. Mia and Kendal played their first game on Saturday. Dustin is their coach so we could control practice times ect. This is Kendal's first year playing and unfortunately she is playing up. On Dustin's team, Mia is the oldest (misses the deadline by 15 days) and Kendal is the youngest!

We had a beautiful weekend for soccer. Mia is in the middle in red. At her age it is fun to watch. Herding cats might be easier then teaching soccer at to this age...
 Mia and Kenni ready to kick off...
 Gaby goo jumped up to 11 vs. 11 playing field. Wowza. Their field is huge. There team held their own but ended up losing both games by 1 point. (Maybe 2 on the second one). Gaby has a strong leg- she played defense and got the ball out several times. It was awesome to watch this age as it is co-ed and all middle school. It is fast paced and aggressive. Makes for a fun time...

 This is the saddest face ever... on the way to the game he picked up a piece of gum and started chewing it ( from our house, thanks goodness) and when Dad took it out Qman was uber sad!

 She looks so grown... Gaby truly loves middle school and everything that came with it. She has embraced it just has she did with this soccer season! A new team, new rules, and much more!!! Love her!

 Kk had an early morning game on Saturday and then a 2:30 game on Sunday. I had to miss Sunday on as Gaby played at the same time. So, Dustin and I divided up and watched our girls play.

Kadyn's personality certainly comes out in her soccer playing. She tries her best ALL OF THE TIME. She may not be the strongest or the best player but she comes ready to play and gives it her all. She came home pretty bummed and then turned into tears after her weekend of games. Kadyn felt as though she did her best but it wasn't good enough. The second half of one games she was played 3 minutes.  She came to us asking what she can do to be better so she can play more? My heart was broken.

This kid is a fighter... things do not come easy to her and yet she does not give up. And I love that about her. It is that way with school, dance, reading, and soccer. So... we will keep working with her at home and in her free time just like we do with school work, dance, reading and now soccer.


My little cuties...

 I was facing the sun but loved this picture as Dustin was out there coaching the team before the game started.
Kenni's first game and she was all smiles!

Can't wait for our next weekend of soccer games....
