Ailee's Soccer Kickoff!

Despite waking up feeling sick this morning, Ailee, you were able to make a great start to your soccer season. I loved watching you get out there and hustle. You were so awesome today and you really surprised Mommy with your eagerness to truly play hard! Great Job, cutie pie!




At first, I got a little concerned during the pregame talk with the coach. You seemed a little less than interested! And you social personality had you greeting and waving to everyone from the other team. It amazes me how people all over town know you and I have never met them or their parents. You have such a fun and friendly personality that kids are drawn to you, I guess.

(that is you turned around waving to the opposite team while Coach Stan gives you some pregame pointers.

You were the first to kick off the ball...

Daddy was assisting on the bench helping switch the players in and out.

I love these two shots the best because you can see above how hard you were trying to hustle. I cannot wait to see you at the end of the season. You have already grown so much since the first practice when it was all about the shiny shoes and not sharing the ball. Then, the look of complete satisfaction on your face below while walking off the field with Daddy to meet your sisters just melts my heart!

Adelynn is really sick today with an ear infection but she hung in there for your game. Anna Grace was a huge supporter and she brought her camera to take her own pictures of you. A little mini version of me!

I couldn't resist showing off these sweet little toes. The first sign of spring to me is when I can catch a glimse of barefoot baby toes. Nothing is cuter!
