It's official

I am officially a soccer mom!! Is that not the most ridiculous thing? Not the soccer part, but the part that I have a child old enough to be playing?

So what that she is swimming in her uniform? Or that she does push-ups (by herself) randomly through out her practices? My oldest child plays a mean game of soccer, even scoring one of the goals for her team!!!

The soccer league here is great. They split the two opposing teams up and they play 2 separate games of 3 on 3. Instead of the soccer field looking like a herd of 22 kids fighting to touch the ball....now its only a herd of 6!

Last Saturday was Gracey's first game. We could tell the rain was coming, but luckily it stayed dry until after. It was a cool 80 degrees and we were all in heaven!!! Until of course Gracey stole the ball from Emily during warm-ups, then we had a few moments of trouble.



Gracey is #7



Emily kept saying, "I am going to play soccer when I turn Foa!" But she got pooped just watching the game. Or maybe she was throwing another one of her fits. I don't remember.





The games ended and we had a celebratory lunch at In & Out!



I could get used to that!

How how fun! I can't wait until Nathan turns foe (in Emily format)! I dream about the days of him playing his first soccer game! Soccer was my life as a kid! It represents a ton of joy to me! And, let's be honest.. Nathan pretty much has no choice, but to play! haha :)

Thats my girl, The little Soccer player. Ya think the uni is big enough. It drowns her! I love the Picture of Gracey stealing the ball from Emily, it just captured the moment perfectly. I want to see her play.
