GOAL!!!

AAAHHHH...Spring is in the air, the birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and soccer season is beginning!!!

Like many parents I am living vicariously through my daughter enrolling her in many activities I was unable to be a part of. So far we have tried martial arts, ice skating, and now soccer. I can happily say, I think we finally found something she really truly enjoys and it's soccer!!!

Riley had her first soccer practice last week and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! Her coach is great, his name is Dan and I believe he's a police officer (when he's not coaching these crazy kids, that is)...there's supposed to be 6 kids on her team but only 4 showed up. Nonetheless, these kids had a BLAST!!

They started off learning the basics, did some warm ups and eventually played a little 2 on 2. I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun this was...I cannot even begin to describe how excited we BOTH are for her first game.


Here the kids are with Coach Dan getting ready to warm up...Say Cheese!!!


"Stretch just like this..."


"Perfect! Now we got the hang of this..."


Now we're getting some action!


Weave in and out...just like that!

BTW...Riley would love to have as many people as possible show up at her games this season, which are every Saturday (except during spring break) until mid May. If you wanna come let me know and we would love to have you there!

P.S. Guess who's Team Mom?? I couldn't resist!!!

Mandy- you look so pretty in that picture! What a hottie!

Bryant's going to be so jealous. He wants to play soccer so bad... but he's playing Baseball again this spring... so soccer will have to wait until fall.

Call me so we can go to lunch... and Yes... that last blog was who you thought it was!
