Soccer Season


Well the 2009 season of soccer is finished. Mark and Cassidy both played and had a great time. I enjoyed watching them each play. Mark's team was so cute to see. What they didn't have in skill they made up for in enthusiasm. My favorite game was when they were playing a really good team that kept scoring on them. It was like 15-0. Towards the end of the game Mark's team finally had a score on the board....it just happened to have been made by an opposing team member when he got confused which goal was his. Mark's team didn't care how it got scored, they cheered, gave each other high fives; you would have thought they won a championship. Every time I see a picture of him playing soccer, I will remember that game, and the joy that came not from winning, but just in playing the game. (These pictures were great action shots taken by Kelly)

Cassidy had a great year. Their team made it all the way through the championships and lost in a tie breaker taking second place. They worked hard all throughout the season and also had trouble scoring. They were great at defense, but had trouble getting that ball into the net. They practiced each week for three hours and didn't give up. They finally found their stride as the playoffs started. She was so fun to watch, she never missed a practice and played hard in each game. Way to go Cass!! She even put up with her mom running down the sideline cheering like a maniac. Unfortunately we had technical difficulties on her game pictures, they were erased from the camera before they were uploaded. I will post her team one when we get it.

Did you realize my Kamryn was on the other team for the championship game? I saw Cassidy, but didn't see you and we had to run as soon as it was over. I think either team could have won that game. I almost wish they had just pronounced a tie, the teams were so equal. It was a fun game to watch!
