Shay the Soccer Star!

I LOVE this picture-the action was all on the other end of the field so I thought it was safe to ask her to smile for a picture...she smiled but kept her eyes on the field! :) Her mom is obviously NOT athletic and doesn't understand the importance of paying attention when you are playing a game!

Shaylee has really become such a good soccer player! Her coach has her play goalie a lot-she used to complain but he tells her she's good at it and that's where he needs her. I think that has boosted her confidence! Casey usually sits behind the net and helps coach her but he was hunting this weekend-I usually get anxiety when she is goalie and Casey is gone but she seriously did so good! I was so proud of her-she was confident and excited. She blocked most if not all of the balls (what a bad mom that I can't remember for sure!) and then scored 2 goals in the 2nd half of the game. Way to go Shaylee!!! Last year was fun to watch-this year it's fun but so much more competitive so it's hard to watch as a mom. She has amazing coaches and plays with some fun girls. Only one more game until Spring...it will be weird to not have soccer games on Saturdays for awhile!
