No More Soccer Saturdays

All of us, except maybe Marlie, are very sad that soccer season is over.  Matt had a great year, as expected.  The last game those boys were passing and scoring.  Matt would kick the ball in and it practically went to the other side of the field.  We saw so much maturity in the boys this year.  It's fun to watch the same kids play together every year and see how much they improve. 

Matt had his end of season party at the Houlton's house and the boys played football for about 2 hours straight.  They had a blast!!  The boys were excited about their trophies but more excited to go back and play.  Thanks to Dad, Coach Joel and Coach Mike for being great coaches!

Marlie started off the season like a rock star.  We were so proud of her.  Then game 3 came and she fell and her teammate completely trampled right over her.  It was pretty much over from there.  After about 2 games of not much action I asked why she wouldn't kick the ball and she said she was scared to fall down and get hurt.  We finally hyped her back up and by the last game she was almost back to normal.  She blocked several goals and was very excited about that.  We will try again next year but the potential is there.  We just have to find a way to get her about half as fired up as Matt is and she'll be awesome! 

Marlie had her end of season party at our favorite Chick-fil-A!  The girls had so much fun and were SO excited to get their trophies!  Thank you Coach Greg (who gets the prize for having an amazing amount of patience) and Dad for helping these girls!! 

There are more pictures in the slide show.  I did attempt to take a few videos so hopefully I can post one or two soon.  I just get too excited and forget to record!
