1st Soccer Practice

Tonight was Kendall's 1st soccer practice!

Last week Maddie's Mom Lori called us to ask if Kendall would like to join their soccer team ... they were 1 girl short for making a complete team ... Maddie's Dad Jeff was the Head Coach ... because they were a 3 years old team, this league let them play for FREE ... their team name was the Strawberry Shortcakes ... and they would wear PINK jerseys! 

Ash had been planning for Kendall to start playing on his soccer team (a year early) in the spring in his Upwards league, but we talked about it, asked her if she would like to play now (to which she said "YES!") and signed her up.  I had just bought a pair of Nike soccer cleats at the JBF sale for $8 (thinking she would wear them in the spring) so a quick trip to Academy for shin guards, socks & a soccer ball (she picked a pink one, of course) ... and Kendall was ready for Soccer!  Daddy became the Assistant Coach and Kendall couldn't have been happier!

Kendall with her sweet little friend Maddie!  (They were in the same preschool class last year, were in summer dance together & will be in preschool together again this year.)
