Last Game

Lexi's team had their last game this morning.

Good Game

This was the second to the last game and it went very well.  Lexi scored 2 goals and her team was on fire.  I liked the game because there was a mom from the other team that I just clicked with.  She had 6 kids including a new baby that was a few weeks old.  Her husband was the coach of the other team.  She home-schooled her kids and just seemed really on top of life.  

Soccer Saturday

Half Way Through the Season

Soccer

It was a great game today.  The coach for the other team was so positive and encouraging to all the kids.  He even tied shoes for kids on our team.  Our coach is very nice too, but a little reserved.

Second Soccer Game

Lexi's second soccer game was today.  She scored 2 of the 4 goals for her team.  It was a great boost for her love of sports.  

Go Hawks! - First Soccer Game

Lexi had her first soccer game today.  The team met at a local elementary school to decorate cars and go in a parade to the fields.  I brought window paint and wrote "Go Hawks!" on the back window.  Jordan asked me to write "Go Lexi" on his window.  Lexi used it to write "I love soccer" on her window.  

Lexi was pretty nervous this morning. She didn't know what to expect.  I was a little worried that my kids didn't know the point of the game.  Lexi's team had only had 2 practices and the only thing I'd seen them do was drills.  The first practice was mainly about informing parents.  I didn't see much of her second practice because it was at the same time as Jordan's first practice.  Her practice field was just far enough away that I couldn't see it.  The game went well though.  There were a few kids who have played before and they seemed to be helping the flow of the game.  By half time, all of the kids seemed to get it.  I was pleasantly surprised by Lexi's abilities.  She was great at running and not afraid to go after the ball.  She is definitely an asset to the team.

Soccer Sign-up

Guess which kids are registered to play soccer from the middle of April to the end of May.  We went shopping today to get their socks, shin guards, and cleats.
