Some of you may have heard the story of McKell's soccer experience last year. It was not so good. She had a fun time, but it was torture for Phil and I to watch. McKell was the little girl out there picking flowers, not a care in the world. I said no more soccer until she was way older and wanted to REALLY play.
McKell really wanted to play this year. I told her no way cause I didn't want to waste money and time to go and watch her pick the flowers. After talking to her about it and seeing how much she wanted to play I gave in and signed her up. They played 2 times a week and they taught them little drills and then played 4 v 4 games. It was actually a really good experience for her. She did really good and is in love with playing. She wants to practice every day. She was getting a little more aggressive and I think next year she will even do better. Don't worry she didn't loose all of her 'little girl' qualities- she skips when she runs!? Seriously she does, she runs like 3 strides and then skips- Phil asked her about it and she said 'I wasn't skipping'. Hmmm, I don't know what to think, but it is really funny to watch.

Way to go Mckell. Make your parents proud! I love the action pictures. I don't know much about soccer, but it looks like she has good form.
Way cute. I was always the one picking flowers. But my Dad didn't play soccer at Weber State, so I have an excuse. I also insisted on playing soccer in a denim skirt, so obviously I was one of the more athletic girls on the team.
Good for her-so fun!Did Phil play soccer at Weber State?

Yes- Phil played in college. He is really good.
Go Mckell! Madi wanted to play soccer this year, but I thought she would be the one out picking flowers. I guess I need to let her try, she might surprise us!
wow 2 soccer player parents, look out!
Maybe Aspen will like KICKS better than Coralville REC. She too was a flower picker... just hum.de.dum... she did NOT like soccer. Much to mommy's sadness.
Soccer was so much fun! I can't wait for them to do it again in the spring. Love that Kaden is in the first picture with her!
