Soccer season - Fall 2009

This never made it from October or November, but we made it through another soccer season with Lea. If you have been a reader since the beginning of last year, you know soccer was not Lea's favorite sport or favorite anything. Several meltdowns about clothes, playing and just being there in general. Sad for me because I love soccer and would have played, but I was a little over the age limit for her age group. :)

This time around, she was excited and played with several of her friends from last year. The Thundercats had a winless season and would even tell you the score at the end of each game. If you asked any of the parents....we seriously didn't keep track. Honest. It was a little disheartening for them to lose so much and only score, I think, 5 goals in 6 games. Most coming in 2 games, so there were some games they didn't score at all. But they improved and became more aggressive as the weeks went by. A few highlights of the year:

Go, go, go!!!

Taking a break - it was surprisingly hot at some of these games (reminder it was the end of October and beginning of November) - our umbrella came in handy.

Listening to Coach Kartchner

Playing goalie - she's a natural!

Battling for the ball against her friend Alyssa (from school)

Abbey chillin' on the sidelines

Side game with Miss Erin

Hanging out in the shade - you'd be surprised how fast these 2 sunburn!

Another great season - Lea and Ethan. Next season starts in January - love Arizona!!
