Soccer Time!

Our Ward/neighborhood got together to do a soccer season for all of the 6-7 yr olds and Maddie and Payton LOVED it!! They practiced once a week and games were on Saturday morning, and it all occured in our greenbelt! It was GREAT!! Thanks to Anna and Chrissy for putting it all together and for the husbands that were fantastic coaches! Maybe we can do it again in the fall!!
Payton scored a goal during the last game!! His first one! Go PAYTON!!

Maddie was the goalie during the last game and said it was pretty boring. Can you tell? (By the way, she isn't picking her nose, she is biting her fingernails. Honest!)
The great soccer players!
Maddie was so excited to get a trophy! It is her first one, EVER!! (She usually does dance, and you don't get a trophy for that!!)
Payton liked the trophy, cause it is his first soccer trophy. He said he would move some of his others to make room! haha!!
Maddie and her BFF Kaeli
The teams and coaches. They were never on the same team, but we had enough kids for 4 teams total!!
Thank you for all the hard work! It was so fun!

Totally love the dirt on Maddi's chin!!! We have missed Payton in class. Have a great week!

We have no where near that many kids in our neighborhood - how fun! Our kids are just getting old enough for this kind of stuff. So I have yet to experience it first hand. I'll probably tear up at my son's first goal!

What a great idea. I'm just sad that the Quinn kidos missed out :)

looks like lots of fun!!! I can't believe that there are that many 6-7yrs in the neighborhood, but wait that is gilbert. I am slightly jealous of the sheer numbers! Haylee has 2 boys her age and neither of them really talk. Poor girl!
