Maddie's Turn...

Saturday was another beautiful day to be at the AYSO soccer fields!!  

I love to watch Madison play...she almost always smiles while she plays!  

It's adorable!! :)

Pre-game pep talk!!  Go purple rock stars!!

Coach Phil reminding the girls which way they are heading with the ball...this needs to be done on a regular basis!! :)

Maddie scored on this break-away.  I stopped taking pictures so I could watch! :)

She goes to the sideline to get her high five from dad!!  

Three more Saturdays of soccer!  

I think I will miss it when it's done for the fall/winter!!

Soccer Pictures

Tonight was a beautiful night for soccer!  I finally pulled out the ol' camera, snapped on the 200mm lens and clicked away!  246 pictures later (ok..i may have gotten carried away...a little) we won 3-1

Both teams had blue uniforms, so our girls were asked to wear orange "pennies" (I think they are spelled the same as the coin?!?!?!?) :)  

Emma didin't waste anytime while playing forward

She scored the first goal of the game... Proud mama moment!! :) 

 She continued to play hard the rest of the quarter.  She assisted in helping one of her team mates make their first goal of the season...it was fun to see Emma excited for her team mate!

Rob and Cohen playin' a little "tackle" football at the game! 

The third quarter Emma played goalie..

Assistant Coach Phil gettin' the girls pumped for the second half! :)

Coach and #4

Ok...so the truth comes out.  

Yes, I took 246 pictures tonight...but at least half of them were of this cutie-patootie :)

Seriously.... Cohen + this sweater = ADORABLE!!!

Emma had quite the cheering section tonight!  Thanks everybody for your support tonight!

I know it always makes Emma feel special to hear people (other than me) cheering for her!

Still in goal...but no action. 

 The ball never came to her end of the field thanks to some awesome defense!!

Maddie and Eli playing a little "one-on-one"

Lukas playing a little catch

Emma had another shot on goal in the 4th quarter, 

but the goalie made an amazing play and stopped it!

Go Blue Lightening (their roster name)...

AKA Blue Cheese (what we actually call them)!! :)

Great game babes!! 

iphone & soccer

I haven't felt like taking my big camera to a soccer game yet...So here are a few pictures from my phone.  The girls had their first games a few weeks ago.  I love being a soccer mom! :)  

And I don't think Phil minds being a soccer dad...and assistant coach to both teams! :)

Fair Night

 Monday we met up with my family for our annual fair night.  

Enjoy some of my favorite pictures from our fun evening!

Cohen went on his first Fun Slide ride..he loved it, of course!!

Big smiles from my Maddie-cakes

Fist bumpin' with Uncle Phil :)

The girls were super adventurous this year.  

They even rode the roller coaster...more than once!!

Yes...that is Aunt Nicole in the car behind the girls..all by herself! :)  

She's such a good sport!!

We totally had to bribe the girls to try this ride, but it was worth it!  

They LOVED it...and rode it at least 10 times! :) 

Thanks Nana & Bampa for another fun night at the fair!!
