Future Professional Soccer Player?

Addie is playing soccer for the 6th season. She is on a team of 6 and 7 year-olds - many who she has played with since she started at 4. This is the first season since she began that I am not coaching - and I am really enjoying being a soccer mom! In the past I have had to depend on others to take pictures, and have only a few from each season. I have upwards of 100 from this season already! The team is 3 wins, 2 losses, 1 tie so far. Addie plays goalie and wing most games, although she thinks she wants to be a fullback (not as much running and not the pressure of being a goalie, I think!)

Addie is, in my humble opinion, a pretty smart soccer player - she and a couple of her teammates have learned to think out plays, they talk to each other during the game, and have seen several goals this season as a result of assists. They make me so proud!

Below are several pictures I took yesterday....

Yellow Goalie ready?

Off to a concert

Addie wanted to share with everyone that she and I are heading to the Carrie Underwood concert at the Kentucky Bank Arena at NKU. It is the first major event at the new arena. Thanks to this blog entry, we're running late now.... Hope "Jesus takes the wheel" and gets us there on time!!

And so it begins....

To kick off my blog, I was looking thru pictures I have taken of Addie recently, but happened to glance over to the couch and couldn't resist snapping a few shots...

Addie and I are dog sitting for Aunt Laynie while she, Scott, and my parents are in Europe. We are exhausted trying to keep up with the four puppies, as you can see they are constantly in motion!



Not to leave the fourth one out....
