Soccer Stars

Abi and Talmage played AYSO soccer this spring. Abi played in the Y8 girls league with girls age 7-8. Her team was named the firecrackers. It was so fun to see her improve over the season. She was a little scrapper and would get right in there and challenge bigger girls for the ball. Her favorite positions were goalie and forward. She said she liked goalie because she could stand around but conversely she said she liked forward because she got to run all over and kick goals. She scored 3 goals this season. Go beans!!!

Talmage played in the Y5 league which was a co-ed league. He had a practice/game every Friday evening where they would work on skills with their coach and then play a short little game against another team. He also loved shooting goals. He would tell you he kicked a hundred goals but it was a few less. Tal's team was named the Hot Lava Balls, they came up with it themselves. Yeah Tal!!!

The weather for spring soccer was a little iffy, but it's Idaho. We sat out in rain, wind, and even a little snow. But this did not damper our enthusiasm for our kids. You should have heard Kris and I cheer. Ah, this is the life of a soccer mom.

They look so cute. Tal especially looks athletic. Nice action shot! How goes baby boo? I would love to hear more about her!

Been feeling pretty rotten on my drugs. Wishing I could skip them and have the blessing without all of the trial! We shall see. Keep your fingers crossed.
