Soccer!!

Amara and Tait wanted to play soccer this year, and I love it! I love going out and watching games. The weather has been really nice, so it hasn't been too bad sitting out there watching. Amara loves to play, but she was getting a side ache halfway through the game and she was getting mad that she had to keep running! She wanted to quit :( I told her that she could stop in the middle of the field and wait for the ball to come back to her and then help out, then she was okay. She loves to be on the same team as her "BFF" Emery. I had to keep reminding them to play soccer, rather than talk and look for butterflies :)

Amara running after the ball... GO AMARA!
Here is Amara taking off with the ball. That's Emery behind her.

Tait is really good. He has the "look" of a soccer player I think. My friend Tonya pointed that out to me. He is a great defender and passer. He has a lot of fun playing too, he is also on the same team as his best friend Carter. Tait is a good runner, he has a lot of endurance (I think he gets it from his dad) so he can run the field over and over again and not get tired.
Here is Tait defending his goal, kicking the ball away.
Here he is just about to throw the soccer ball out to his teammates.
Here they are listening to the rules just before the game started.
Here are Amara and Emery "watching" Tait and Carters game. They were cold, so they put their legs in Emery's coat and then walked around :) They are so silly! LOL!
