Spring Soccer '09

It's hard to believe that this season of Spring Soccer has almost come to an end (actually, it has ended for my oldest).Here she is chillin' while awaiting her teammates arrival for a game.
After the game she is still smiling (check out those rosy cheeks!). After going back and forth, she has decided to play again in the fall. She really enjoys it, just has a hard time because of her horrible allergies (Poor baby!).

Em absolutely loves soccer! She has really gotten into it this season. To the point where she has mastered what she calls her game face (a scowl that tells her opponents that she is NOT one to be messed with).

She has a new coach this season who is a parent from a different Kindergarten class at her school. He is great with the kids, and is often seated at their level to coach and guide them. We like him so much we have signed her up with him for the coming fall season (Which by the way will be all girls!).

It wouldn't be soccer without the staple of wedged oranges. Em and her friends spend every moment of bench time eating them.

Daddy was assistant coach for Pay's team again (along with the amazing Coach David).

She touched the ball a little more this season, but still just kinda trots around on the field following the rest of the flock.

Her buddy Dev and cousin Livi joined her on the team this Spring along with a few new faces that are first timers. Trust me, there is nothing like watching 3 & 4 yr olds play soccer. It is way to cute!
Looks like maybe Dev called his team together for a little motivation?
