the long awaited soccer season has started. we got the jersey (kenadee chose #20), the shin guards, the socks, and the cleats. we met the coach and had a 15 minute practice right before our first game.
'skinners' team kicked some soccer butt and won!!!
our little soccer girl
practicing up before the game
go yellow team!!!!
and she is chasing the ball. the coach told us he was worried about getting everyone in to play and having to take players out so others could go in. he didn't have this problem with kenadee...she told him when she needed a break!!
so this was her first game and her team did fantastic. and her coach is great.
i didn't get pics of her second game but i have to tell you about it.
so kenadee was doing really well, but started feeling bad because she wasn't able to kick the ball!!?? she actually started crying and i was not sure at first what was wrong until i went to talk to her. she just wanted to kick the ball and make a goal. 'i haven't kicked it and made a goal...that is all i want to do'. her coach and his dad were so great and kept telling her to 'believe' she could do it. he told her she had to stop crying and when she was ready he would put her back in. the coaches dad kept saying,' you have to tell yourself you 'can do it'. and was telling her where to be and how to get the ball. (he was fabulous!!!) she told me to go sit with dad and after another minute she was back in the game. it was right before half time and kenadee got the ball and took it down the field and MADE HER FIRST GOAL!!! it was so awesome, i don't know who was more excited...me or her!!! (good thing i had sunglasses on because i got BIG tears in my eyes...hey, i was very proud!!!) it was perfect and i didn't even get a picture of it. her coaches were so proud of her and told her that they knew she could do it!! it was amazing the positve attitude and motivation from her coaches. they really are incredible!!
oh...and we kicked some soccer butt again and won!!!
.
the time we were cheering for kenadee i guess we had a little earthquake...i called my mom to tell her kenadee had scored and she said her couch had just been shaking. i didn't believe her...i thought she was thinking crazy. but she called me back about 5 minutes later and said we did have an earthquake!!! i guess i should listen and believe my mom!!!
oh how proud we are of our little soccer player...
but we have to tell her..."there's no crying in soccer!!!"

LOVE IT! She looks so adorable and SO athletic! WOW way to go Kenadee! That's awesome about the coaches! I'm surprised they keep score. In Madison's soccer league the only people who keep score are the parents...ha ha. I love the "there's no crying in soccer" comment. You've got to be a certian age to appreciate that! We used that on Madison reciently for softball...she needs to toghen up! Wow an earthquake! I probably wouldn't have believed my mom either...LOL!
Go Kenenenenadee!!!
