Ella was in the U8s where there are 2 practices a week and usually 2 games a weekend. The 1 game weekends were a breeze.
Laney and coach Tom getting ready for the game
Laney's first breakaway, and she was off to score a goal. Yay!
Coach Corey having a heart to heart :)
He later told me he complimented her on her fancy footwork.
She scored at least one goal a game but never fear, every game except the last two involved tears usually half the time. There was even a game when I was out there running with her so she wouldn't cry. But by the last two games, she was having a blast!
Now why didn't Ella see Laney score that goal?
Oh, she was on a huge dirt pile on the baseball field.
She is the one way on top :)
And what was Matthew doing while Laney scored?
Eating...shocker, right?
I love this picture.
Although she is nowhere near the ball,
she has a huge smile on her face as she skips around the field :)

Go, Laney, Go
Goal!
Laney and the part of her team that wasn't crying :)
Who knows what the score really was but it was a great season!
Through the many tears, the tackles, the cries, the yells, the laughter, the fun,
it was a GREAT first season of soccer for our little Laney!
Then we were off to Ella's game.
Laney is definitely more of the aggressor and one who wants to score where as Ella just likes to run around. Whenever she touches the ball, we all get excited but usually there is more running around in circles then actually kicking the ball.
But here is a great one of her going after it
She runs, runs, runs and then when she gets to the ball she stops and looks around.
It is so cute but also so frustrating!
Lots of running. I wonder how many calories she burns?
Ella and her soccer team.
What a great first season of soccer, Ella!
