Soccer

Hailee's soccer team. Me and my girlfriends put a monopolyon and had Steve (the coacha nd my friend Tina's husband) pick all of our children to be on the same team so we could get together every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with soccer as our excuse. It worked rather well. From Left to right is Halle, Josh(up top), Hailee, Jakub(top), Steve (coach), Nathan, Aleyah, and Ben; I think we were missing a few that day. We put a donation in Steves name in The YYSA for his sacrifice, he had his hands full and we really appreciated it. Thanks Steve. The team again during half time

Hailee after scoring a goal
I have a really funny story about Hailee, Jason, and soccer. Last year Hailee wanted nothing to do with soccer or anything she just ran up and down the field, well this year someone tured on her competitive switch and she atually played some ball. Jason was very excited that she is pretty good at his sport. At her second game of the season she scored two goals and almost made two more, she was pretty excited and Jason was telling her how proud of her he was when Hailee said at her next game she was going to score TEN goals. WE all laughed but Jason took it one step further and said "Hailee, if you score ten goals next game, I will buy you anything you want." Next game comes around and she is playing awesome and just keeps scoring and scoring. Jason is squirming at every goal she makes, my friends are all giggling and keeping count becuase I had told them of his deal with Hailee, and Hailee is just beaming with excitement. She scored 12 goals that night, Yes 12. Luckily for Jason she forgot all about his deal becuase she was so excited at scoring all the time and being the center of attention. It was quite funny. We thought for sure we were gonna end up having a pony in the backyard.
