Let the games begin!

Spring Season has begun!

Before the official first kick off this Saturday,

here are pictures of our fall season!

The

 Stinging BEES!!!

 Don't you love the hair bows on these little soccer diva/bee's!?

 After Gracie's first game,

which consisted mainly of taking turns kicking the ball!

(kids from her own team as well as the apposing team)

 She asked,

"Mom, what does it mean to, 

 "just go out there, work hard, and do your best?"

 Hmmm....

" I guess it means you try and get the ball

 from the other team,  keep it away from the other team,

 and get it in the other teams  net."

 My vast soccer knowledge,

 seemed to satisfy.

The next game came. 

 Gracie went to the field with her game face.

She "worked hard and did her best".

 Her best happened to be scoring 5 goals.

Wow, who knew?

 Especially, after her first game of  "take turns"!

( which ironically is what we drill into our kids

 until all of a sudden we tell them," have no mercy!")

 It looked like an exciting season ahead!

 However, after experiencing 

working hard and doing her best,

she was over it! 

Been there done that!
 The focus of the following games-

  hair, friends, and snacks! 

Sweet, glittered haired girls standing
 in the middle of the field
talking, 

during the game.

pretty darn cute.
 Unsure what to expect for spring season!?

BUT

we do know what this little bee

 (who now, as of yesterday's practice,

is a green butterfly)

 is capable of! 

p.s my favorite picture of the stinging bees season?

 Gracie consoling her BFF.

 Must of been a tough game. 

THE 

Blue Leopards!!

 Oh, this little guy.

 Love watching him.

Love how he wanted to be seen

working oh, so hard!

 Justin really enjoyed the practices

 MORE then games!

 This kid LOVES to play.

This kid really LOVES to have
FUN
 And the games,

  "were a LOT of work!"

 He definitely kept the season FUN for all,

as well as squeezing in the final goal of the season!!

The Hawkeyes

We always knew Mitch liked to play basketball.

 However, this was his first time on an official  team.

 (which I don't think people believed!)

 Truthfully, while watching his first game

 and seeing him score the first 5 baskets,

I was like, ummm maybe he should share??

( I was sitting by the other kids moms!)

Lou didn't agree and loved every second of it.

 In many of the pictures it looks

 like he is about to loose the ball

because the ball is so low. 

 But No!

 He keeps total control

and no one steals from him.

Highlight of the season...

Buzzer 3 pointer

Mitch made the shot as the final buzzer was ringing!

 And I was turning off the camera.

Ooops!

 Every kid deserves a moment like that!

 FUN.

(I'm still waiting for mine.)
