Soccer, Soccer, and More Soccer!

Soccer has started!

This is my FAVORITE season, despite how busy it makes our life.

For Halle's game yesterday, there was water everywhere!
It was POURING the night before.
The night of our ward campout . . . which we attended 100%.
Anyways . . . 

the field was flooded in the middle!

So . . . it made getting the ball around a little difficult.

This year, Halle moved up a level (to the fifth/sixth graders), is playing on a bigger field,  with more players on the field, bigger goals, and more competition.
  She is once again super aggressive and played so well yesterday!

She has THE BEST coach as well!
Her coach has scheduled three hours of practice time a week!  This means that Halle has soccer games or practice 4 days a week . . . which just equals heaven for Halle.

Gwen wanted to play this year!

After taking a break last year, she was ready to try it out again this time.

She is so confident out there!

I wasn't sure what to expect after taking a break last year, but it's like she didn't miss a beat.

Austin is in Cub Soccer again!

It's weird to think that this is our last year of Cub Soccer.

All of our kids did this . . . for two years each!


Austin is pretty excited to have his own games for us to go to.

He has improved since last year!

He seems more willing to run after the ball!

Austin has a pretty awesome coach too! :)

And the assistant coach is very handsome . . . (Ben will fill in sometimes if the coach can't be there:))

Austin also knows a few of the kids on the team, which makes it nice.
