First Soccer Game of the Year

Today was Ella's first soccer game of the year. This year we are playing with Spring Branch Memorial Sports Association (SBMSA), and the kids are all grouped with kids form their school. So, Ella knows most of the faces and gets to make some more good friends from school.

The team name is the Lil' Lionesses, and they were awesome! It was MISERABLY hot, but they stayed in the game. We don't keep score at this age yet, but let's just say that our team scored a lot today!

I told Ella to give me a soccer pose, and this is what I got. Always a priss! And, here is Will giving big sister a good luck squeeze.

 

Ella was running back from making the first goal of the game. She had an adorable smile on her face and glow in her eye. (Yes, Mommy had a proud tear in her eye.) She was so proud of herself, but what I love even more is that she is so proud when anyone on the team makes a goal. Also, when she sits on the sideline she makes up cheers for the team.

 

The girls would sit under an umbrella that one of the Daddy's on the ground had for shade. See those red cheeks.. IT WAS HOT!
