Gearing up for soccer!!

We are gearing up for soccer here! We finally signed Hannah up!! She is SO excited! The night after we signed her up, Kris came home with 2 soccer balls and a soccer goal!

The kids had at it!



Kris tried to teach Hannah how to kick the ball.


She did pretty good.


Once Kris was kicking the ball back down the yard and it hit Hannah smack in the face. He laughed it off to try to keep her from getting upset. I told her that sometimes when you play soccer, you may get hit or knocked down, but you have to just get back up and shake it off. Well, her eyes teared up when the ball hit her in the face. She tried so hard not to cry and she didn't but you could tell she was fighting the tears back.





This little guy was kicking that ball back and forth all over the yard for about 20 or 30 minutes non-stop. Then, he told us he was hot and he was done. He actually had pretty good coordination. I look forward to him playing one day too! It will be good for him to run off all his endless energy!

Layton came out to watch the action.

Hannah stayed outside with Kris after Lincoln went in for at least another 30-45 minutes. I can't wait to see how she does. Games start on September 11th!

Fun!! (not the kicking your sweet daughter in the face part though)I think we'll start Elijah in soccer next year. And, your back yard looks SO big and nice.

I was kidding about the kicking Hannah part. Hope you knew that!
