Soccer!

Our family loves soccer. There is nothing I'd rather do that watch my 2 girls play. This was Saiges first year playing, she had a great coach and a fun team. Even though most of the game was played in a circle, running around the field, it was fun to see her break-a-way with the ball on occasion.

Saige scored 2 goals this year... One for us and one for the other team! She was so excited after taking the ball the full length of the field she ran off straight to Elle - on the sideline - and screamed "I'm just like you!" She really looks up to Elle.

Elle has turned into a great ball handler. She's a great right striker. She know's where the ball should be and gets it there. She talks/yells to her teammates and tells them what to do and how to do it. She's NOT the shy girl when she's on the field. She scored 6 goals this season, 2 in one game. I love to watch how she changes as she gets focused on the field. She's planning on playing on a higher Utah County league team next season.

WooHoo Garrit! You posted...and what great posts. I love the soccer action pictures. I've seen some of those soccer circle games. They're hilarious! Your girls are beautiful (take after Millissa) and athletic (take after...the coach?)
