Another First!

Saturday was the big day,

Crista's first soccer game.

It was actually a pre-season Jamboree

where all the teams came out and scrimmaged

two games each.

Crista was a little nervous

since she's never played in a soccer game before.

Even through the butterflies,

she looked mighty cute sporting that green and black uniform!

 

I honestly had no idea how Crista would do.

She is the most inexperienced player on the team

and this mama had never even kicked a soccer ball

until 2 weeks ago

so I'm no help to her.

And although Crista is competitive,

she is not aggressive.

At all.

But I shouldn't have doubted her.

She did awesome for her very first game

and got right in on the action!

 

 

Hanging out between games.

See Crista's teammate?

That's Savannah.

And she's a great soccer player.

The girls told me they had a plan.

Crista would get the ball and kick it to Savannah

and then Savannah would score.

Sounded like a great plan to me...and it even worked!

 

And in case you were wondering about little

Prissy Pot,

She was just happy to have snacks.

And her own chair.

In the shade.

 

In the second game

Crista got her turn to be goalie.

Now I know she's my kid an all,

but she did SO great!

 

See...

 

BLOCK!

 

BLOCK!

 

She blocked 3 out of the 4 balls that were kicked at her.

And the one she missed,

no one could've gotten that one.

It was just a super awesome kick and the kid deserved that point!

I was so proud of Crista!

 

Crista had her very own cheering section

and loved the attention she got!

Its great having good friend to support you!
