1st Soccer Game


We had our first game yesterday....and it was a hoot! I got a little frustrated with Claire...she was all over the place! That girl was out there being a wild woman. A serious free spirit! We are on a team with several friends, which I am sure does not help fuel our competitive spirit! She did everything but kick the ball! She helped friends up, tickled people, pulled up grass, came and gave daddy hugs, and laughed!!! It was a sight to see. We played another team that was all boys and they looked to be a little older than our kids.....they were very big, and they totally knew what to do!!! They dribbled and scored all over the place! My mom asked what the score was, I seriously don't know, but it was like something to zero!!!! We didn't even get close! Here she is warming up ;)

Might need to keep the eyes open????

Running...and running....and running!!!

They brought their own ball for warm up/practice before the game. Coach Molly (poor gal) put them to the side and Claire would try to go over there and just get her own ball to play!!! Next time we will just get the ball and leave it with us ;)
Some run for the ball, Claire runs for a hug! We have no idea what we are doing here!
a little pep talk....or maybe a kiss

like herding cats!!!!
Claire kept falling down when other kids did.........Jack is helping her up!!!

We got tangled in the net???
Helping Jack up...as you can see we are doing lots of things except kicking the ball....

She kept falling down and cracking up....obviously, she had no fear of the boy coming at her with cleats!

Running all over the place!

Little man, enjoying the nice weather and grass. We are unseasonably warm....like highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s!! Crazy!!

Does he not look like a big boy here.....not a little baby anymore!

Trying to get him to smile at the camera with his Aggie hat on ;) He was way too interested in the boys and girls running around!

We were all sitting and watching the game and one friend of mine asked how we all felt about being Soccer Moms!!! We cracked up!!! We all knew it was coming!!! Ha!!!!!
