Soccer Time!!!

Ella had her first game on Saturday.  I think she really enjoyed being out there with the other girls.  If you look very closely you can see her little face behind the girl in the blue jersey.  She is the youngest on the team, I think, but is learning a lot.  That girl has some personality.  At one point she was running on the field and sucking her thumb at the same time.  I got a picture but didn't get her in motion.  At another point she was showing the other girls sitting on the sidelines how to lay backwards in the chairs like a nut.  She had fun with her friend Kayla whose dad Mr. Marc is their coach along with Mark.  I think the guys are having as much fun as the girls.  They have a cheer that they do before the game as you can see where they raise their hands and yell, "GO COBRAS."  Too cute!  Yes, they are the Lady Cobras.  Vicious, huh?  Annie's team a few years back was the Lady Koalas.  Hmmmm.  Maybe they feel more competitive if they are a fierce animal or reptile as the case may be.   Ella asks every night if tomorrow is her game or her practice.  We are so proud of her.  She is so good at trying new things.

I think the coaches are having fun with this. Kayla loves it too. I didn't get a picture of their "Go Cobras", so I'm going to steal yours if that's okay. :)

I love the one of her sucking her thumb. That is hilarious!

Too adorable! Reminds me of when Trini was in soccer at that age. They are so precious!
