Here's Hayden on the sideline during the first play of the first game. She was her team's biggest fan! (In fact, at their first soccer practice she started cheering for Payson on the sideline and I had to remind her that she was playing too!)
Payson got into the action early. That. Boy. LOVES. Sports! He can't get enough of it!
Actually, I think he loves the social aspect of the game even more than the game itself. He could play with his teammates all game long if his coach would let him. He and his friend Grant were laughing hysterically at a little wrestling game they made up while wearing their pinnies over their heads. I loved watching them and was tickled by it myself!
When it was Hayden's turn to kick-off, she was not going to let anyone get her ball! The ref blew the whistle, everyone started running towards her, and she was quick to secure that ball... with her hands!
Thatta girl! That's the way it's done!
Madison spends half of her time on the field yawning or with her head hung over like this. Keith figured out that the poor girl was bored. No entertainment, no fun! Also notice that no one on our team is going after the ball (yes, the ball is in play in this picture!). Yep, that's the way our first few games went - they were interested in everything but the ball!
Here's Madison getting into the game... for a moment anyway. She says she wants to play again next year but the girl has zero interest during practice and games. But when it comes to dance, she's a totally different child - super energetic, attentive and even giddy at times. More on that to come!
Here are the kids hanging with cousin Addison while Avery played in her big girl soccer game.
What a coincidence that the kids and their cousins have consecutive numbers on their soccer jerseys! So fun!
