Soccer Mom

I think I am officially a soccer mom minus the mini-van (thank goodness)!  We are at soccer practice 4 nights a week and have 2 games a weekend.  Since the majority of practices are Kiara's, here is what Mckenna and Ava look like a lot of the time.

Fun in the back of the car!

We watch a lot of movies, consume a lot of suckers, play a lot of soccer (which means I play with Kiara or Mckenna while holding Ava), do homework, listen to music, and anything else that sounds fun at the time.  I can get tired of the schedule but the girls absolutely LOVE soccer.  As for going to all the practices, I apologized to Mckenna for having to go to another soccer practice and she answered "Don't worry Momma, I like going to practice! I get to kick the ball around - it is fun!"  SWEET!! 

 

Mckenna had a soccer game on Saturday and she played amazing!  To be honest she has never really had a great soccer game.  She gets a little overwhelmed and doesn't like everyone chasing 1 ball (her words :)).  She has an amazing coach this season and not only enjoys playing with her team, she loves playing with Kiara and her friends when she has the chance.  Well, the hard work payed off!  Mckenna had 3 goals, 2 assists, put a move on a girl during a fast break, and performed 2 foot skills to get the ball out of the pack.  Great job Mckenna!

Kiara said "You are playing GREAT Mckenna!"

 

 

Kiara played on Sunday and had a lot to live up to after her sisters amazing game.  Kiara had an awesome game as well.  She scored her first goal this season with a left footed kick in the 1st minute of the game.  She played mid-field the whole game and one of Kiara's best attributes is seeing the whole field and making great passes to her teammates.  She made some moves on defenders and had a handful of really great passes.  Her U-8 travel soccer team is playing girls ages 9 & 10 from all over Cleveland.  They have competed with these bigger, more experienced teams and have played really well.  Way to go Kiara!

 

Told you, I am officially a soccer mom :)!

 

One more great pic of Ava - love this little girl!
