The Newest Soccer Mom!

Today was Kira's first soccer game. Yeah! Kira's team, the Dragonflies, has purple uniforms. So, of course, Kendi, Kamber and I all wore purple to support the team. It was kind of a long drive to the field and there was construction on the way and the parking lot was super crowded and it was hard to find where her field was and I forgot sunscreen and I wasn't sure I wanted to be a soccer mom. But then the game started. It was so fun to cheer on my little Kira!!! Her team did great. Most of the girls have played before this season, so Kira has a little catching up to do as far as figuring out what she is supposed to be doing during the game. Most of the time she just ran around after the rest of the girls. Once in a while she just stood there, looking around. The coach and I kept trying to tell her to go steal the ball. She didn't really seem too worried about doing that until this GIANT girl comes in for the other team. She definetely didn't look 5, more like 7 and sturdy, if you know what I mean. Anyway, when Giant comes into the game, Kira finally decides it is time to start really playing. She takes off after this Giant girl and steals the ball from her!!! Crazy kid! But all in all, it was so much fun-- I guess I might make it as a soccer mom after all!

PS Brooke and I made dragonfly headbands for the team and they looked SOOOO cute!!! Sorry, I just had to throw that in. ;0)
