Hailey's Fall Soccer Season

Now that our two oldest children are getting older, they are doing more and more activities.  I now understand what people mean when they say like they feel like chauffeurs all the time!

This fall soccer season was Hailey's turn to play.  I have very much loved having just one child in soccer at a time!  Hailey had such a fun team and coach this year.  She loved every bit about the season, even practicing in the August heat!

She has continually improved each year she has played and we have been very proud of her.  One of her favorite things to do was play goalie.  It's funny how all of the kids want to play that position!  The one game she played almost the entire half and I think by the end she was ready to get in there and run around a little bit.


She had the funniest poses when I tried to get her picture in front of the goal.


She continually made us chuckle as she would get ready for the ball to head her way.  (In case you didn't notice, I got a great picture of the back of Zach's head in this one!)


Here she is running up for a goal kick.  Luckily, she never missed - she told me she was always so worried that she would.


The little "beehive" right in front of the goal.


She was really good at keeping her eye on the game and watching for the ball.


She was actually a really good goalie and they only scored on her once - even though she played goalie 3 or 4 times in different games.


Here she is out playing in the field.  You can always tell which one she is because she has on the pink soccer socks!


Chasing the ball.


She was so cute, I can't believe she's almost 8 already - getting all grown up!


I never did have the camera out when she scored a goal, but she scored 3 or 4 goals for the entire season, quite a good number!


She had a great time playing soccer this fall and can't wait for next year when she will get to play again.  We sure are proud of her and how much she is improving each year.  Way to go Sis, we sure love you!
