Soccer Star

Our weekend has pretty much consisted of soccer and more soccer. Although we only had 2 games they were on opposite ends of the earth so it was pretty time consuming. Saturday the game was in Arvada and it was the first "real" game of the season and we played a team much more advanced than us. The first half we got slaughtered and played pretty poorly as the girls tried to work together as a new team. Amazingly enough they came out strong the second half and even scored a goal! EmmaLeigh played center mid for the first half and then moved back and played defense for the first time. she did extremely well and the big joke was if Josh and I had put her in football camp over the summer! She is very aggressive when it comes to playing soccer. They ended up losing 4-1 but really started to work as a team by the end of the game. Today we played in Golden and the girls were on fire! They had great teamwork, awesome ball handling and some great defense. Emma played center mid and did a great job. They won 3-0 against a team that again was ranked higher.She just smiles the whole time she is on the field, we love watching her play.

I am single parenting it this week because Josh is out of town on business so my mornings should be pretty interesting. Kayela starts school tomorrow so i am getting not 5 but 6 kiddos up and out the door by 7:45...wish me luck! ha!
