Soccer Highlights Fall 2009

Last night I caught up on my blog reading. I have several friends that have blogs now and I really enjoy reading them. So after reading their latest entries I realized I have been slacking again on my blogging. I am starting with the girls Soccer highlights of their Fall season. It was an exciting season as Callie really showed her aggressive abilities on the field and scored some goals and in the end made it on one of two all star teams. Way to go, Callie!! Emily's season was challenging for her as her team had some very talented players. Emily started out a bit apprehensive but finished with a bang. At the last regular season game she scored a goal after being tripped by an apposing player/friend. Accident of course. Then at the second playoff game she had the most balls on goal but just couldn't get the ball in the goal due to the goalie catching the ball. The games for both girls have become very exciting to watch with a lot of parents screaming and cheering. I have posted some of my favorite pictures from the season starting with Callie's team then Emily's team, followed by Callie's all star game.

Callie is waiting for the ball to come her way.

There she goes running that ball down the field.


Callie going for the goal.

Here she is running that ball down the field again. Running the ball down the field is her strong point. Very exciting to watch!

Here is Callie with two friends, Rhianna and Rachel. Rhianna and Callie have been on the same team for two seasons now.

Callie's team, The Green Hornets. She has been with these two coaches now for several years both Fall and Spring seasons.

Callie during the last regular season game. She spray painted her hair green as did most of the other team members.

Here is Emily during the last regular season game. She also sprayed her hair green. (Both girls were on a green team this year.)

This was the game where Emily was tripped and fell on the baseball diamond part of the field. She scraped her knee, ripped her tights but stood up and shook it off. She then sprinted down the field and scored a goal!!! Way to go Emily!! Very proud moment for the mom and dad!!!

Here is Emily the week she was captain. Not sure why Emily and the ref. are looking in one direction and the other kids are looking in the other direction.

Emily watching the ball and waiting for the action to come her way. Check out her new sports glasses. You can just call her Bono!!!

Here is Emily with some of her friends. Morgan (Em's best friend), Chelsea, Em and Alexa.

This picture was taken at the team's soccer party at the end of the season. Alexa, Emily, Tara and Morgan.

Here is Emily's team, The Green Monsters!



Here is Callie during the All Star Game. She had been sick with the flu the week before and was a bit sluggish during this game but she managed to run the ball a few times down the field and scored one of two goals for the team!!! Way to go, Callie Girl!!! We were very proud of her!!! Notice the two different colored socks? I guess that is the thing to do!


Callie flashing me a smile during the game!

Claire, Callie's old preschool friend, was on the other team. They hadn't seen each other in a long time and it has been even longer since they actually hung out together as they go to different schools. They will be together again next year when they move up to the Upper Elementary. I think this picture was more for the moms than for them!

So there you have it.....the soccer highlights for Fall 2009!!
