Soccer Mania!

Some how I have two darling kids that are IN LOVE with soccer and quite good I might add.  Don't know where it came from...we aren't a sports family, never watch it, could care less usually, but I think these two are trying to change our ways. 

Mackenzie has been ecstatic to play, couldn't wait for it to start.


She loves to play goalee against Collin.

Collin.... depressed because he isn't old enough, but HAD to have a full uniform and all!
 Showing his soccer skills and really trying to prove that he can play!

Game Day - 3/26

First Soccer Game ever - she rocked it!  (If you can't tell, I'm super excited!)  Score 7-2, our team won, and Mackenzie scored 4 of the 7 goals.  As Mackenzie got the ball away from everyone and took it down to score, I overheard several parents say 'She's just a natural'.  They were impressed, and so am I...so proud!  She was awesome!  What was cute was that she was kind of timid at first to go in and take the ball from the other players, but once she got it there was no stopping her.

Mackenzie (in pink hoodie) and Natalie discussing strategy before the game (actually probably talking about birdies and rainbows :)

# 10 - That's my girl!


On her way to the goal!

Thats a Thumbs Up! 
She looked at me and gave me a thumbs up after each goal she made and then did a few snaps (her new found talent) in the air.

So fun, way to go Chargers!

Way to go Mackenzie!!! She looks so cute (and grown up) in her little uniform. That is funny that they like it so much! Looks like fun. Can't wait to get Clemie involved in more stuff!

How fun! Sports are so fun to watch when your kids are playing!! I get a little too intense though. You are so good to think of Kaylen's birthday! I thought about inviting Mackenzie but threw the party together last minute and didn't even get invitations out till a couple days before! Anyway, we really do need to get together!

Uh oh - you're in for it! Soccer every day and hundreds of dollars worth of dues, uniforms, team sweatshirts, PINK cleats, matching hairbows, etc.! But it's so fun! And if they love it, it's even better. Good luck! Love ya!
