a soccer story...


ever since emma was born we have been excited to start things like sports. trevor has said many times that she will be the next abby wombach...or hope solo would be pretty cool too. if you don't follow US women's soccer you probably have no idea who i am talking about. don't worry, 5 years ago i wouldn't have either. 
anyways, back to being excited that emma was old enough to start soccer and, to add to it, trevor is the coach!
 i was finally going to be a soccer mom!{my dreams are BIG these days, i tell ya} i pictured the perfect sunny saturday's spent on the sidelines cheering on my little soccer star.
i. was. SO. wrong. 


it seemed to start off well except that fact that two kids had to sit out and wait to actually play. 
what 3 year old understands waiting his turn and subbing in? 
then there were out of bounds. 
again what 3 year old understands they can't kick it outside the white line that was drawn on the grass?
but they continued on.
and figured out that they had to actually chase the ball.
 until things started to go down hill. exhibit A. man down! 
 exhibit B
 exhibit C...she was worried about her hands turning red.

 exhibit D. she subbed herself out. 

it was still fun to watch the kids run around like chickens with their heads cut off, but really mother nature, we could use some warmer sunny weather!
