Soccer Saturday!!

Annslee played soccer last fall and really liked it but didn't get into it until the end of the season. She mainly played on the sideline and sometimes didn't want to go in. When it came time to sign up for Spring Soccer we decided she would have to ask first as we didn't want to play if she wasn't going to give it her all. Well, she asked to play so we decided to do Up+ward this time and we are so glad we did!

Her first game was yesterday and she was sooooooo into it!!

Coby was occupied very briefly with food and Anna Marie : )

I LOVE this one!! Look at my little soccer star : )

This is after scoring her first goal EVER!!! High five for daddy who is the asst coach so he was on the field (and notice her feet are literally off the ground )

I am loving watching her not be at all afraid to jump in there and "scrap" with everyone LOL

This cracked me up when I looked at the pics..I will title this one "heading to the goal" Check out her opponents' faces

YEAH....scored!!! Now check out their faces and my girl as she turns mid air to celebrate her second goal!!

Scooter spent his time hanging out, running, and grabbing onto me as I tried mostly in vain to capture shots of Annslee LOL



She got a green star for knowing her Bible verse and a gray star for best offense. They don't keep score in Up*ward but hey, we all do so we won 5-2 and Annslee scored 2 goals. We are so proud of her for the goals and playing so hard but mainly for memorizing her verse. As a parent with a child with huge expressive language delays this is so huge!
