Soccer

This year Maia decided she wanted to give soccer a try.  It was really fun to go to her games and watch her progress throughout the season.  I have to admit, her team wasn't the best (okay they were pretty bad!) but Maia really did really good.  At first, she wasn't as aggressive as she could (should??) have been (yes I know it is only 5 year old AYSO, but still:) so as a family, we would go to the park for FHE and practice soccer.  She had no problem pushing into David or I, so we tried encourage her to do that in her games (is that bad?)  We knew we had succeeded when during halftime at one game I told her what a good job she was doing.  She turned to me and said, "Ya, I'm even pushing a little." Yesssss!!!  

Here is my sweet little soccer gal:

 

 One of Maia's really good friends, Lilly, was also on her team, which she loved!

 Team Cheer! Go Flying Stars!

GOALLLLLLL!!!!!

 The tunnel is the best part of any game, of course!

 And here is the team picture: The Flying Stars.  What a fun season!

Oh and I realized I'm one of those annoying soccer moms who cheer and yell really loudly from the sideline.  All nice things of course, but loud nonetheless.
