Fall Soccer 2017

Mae Fall Soccer - Pink Butterflies
Anna Fall Soccer - Stinking Butterflies
Todd - Assistant Coach for both

Blueberries

Mae had a great first season in the Passers Division - moving from 3 on 3 with no goalie to 7 on 7 with a goalie.  She played a decent amount of goalie and only gave up one goal all season.  Once she got her feet wet, she scored 4 goals in 5 games. 

Still Cousins and Still Blowin' People Out

A successful soccer season.  One last look at these 3 gems altogether. 

Fall Suckas - I Mean Soccer

We had the once in a lifetime opportunity to join sisters and a cousin all on one team.  As part of the Pink Watermelons - Anna, Mae, and Nathan dominated.  They took no prisoners. 

I'm not sure how much more intimidating you can get

Sisters!

Why does it kind of look like they all are picking wedgies at first glance?

A forever treasure

No Longer Pickin' Her Wedge

Mae had a great Spring Soccer season.  She started on the Purple Cheetahs "less aggressive" team and then was aggressive enough to move up to the "aggressive" team.  That's right after she had games of 2 goals, 6 goals, and 12 goals, respectively.  Even though it took some getting used to - she belonged.  In the last 3 games of the season she scored 5 goals in those games.  She's come a long way from the girl who picked her wedgey for 3 quarters of her first game in the Fall.

Soccer Season

Soccer season was a success!   After starting the first practice with tears and not leaving her mother's hip, and then the first game pickin' her wedge, 8 games and 9 goals later - we were very proud of her first season.  She's raw, but she is fast (and competitive)!

And 2 seconds and a mood swing later - here's happy Anna!

Our First Sports Season

I've waited so long for this moment!  Mae brought us our first sports season as parents as soccer rolled around.  Her first practice (rough with tears) was painful, and her first game (the first three quarters she never moved and ate her fingers and picked her wedgie) just about sent me over the edge, but when she finally got used to the surroundings she did pretty well for her first season.  Practices typically included Lindsey watching practice and me taking Anna and Brooklyn to the toys.  It was usually a fun evening.

She saw this going differently

Anna loves to jump off the rocks (to Dad of course)

Mae did play Ben's team - Go Blue Stars!
