So this year Ava decided to play soccer again, for her third season. The first season daddy was Ava's teams coach. The second season Ava had Coach Brechbill and Christian also played on her team. This marks her third season and it is amazing the improvement she has made. Her coach's name is Mike Thompson and he was a great coach too. She loved her team and there were some really awesome friends and players on the team. Their were two guys on the team that had older brothers that played soccer and they had obviously been blessed themselves with the ability to play soccer. They were awesome. Zimoney and Felix were the two soccer STARS on the team. Every time they got the ball they scored! It was so much fun to watch and cheer for them. Ava really improved this year too. She actually was able to control the ball when she had it, and to stay with it, turn it and even pass it to her team mates. We happened to have all morning games and the mornings were still often pretty cold and windy. :) So below is a picture of the kiddos wrapped up before the game and then of some of them playing on the sidelines while the BOYS were out making the scores. ;)
She played so hard this year and she was very interested in the competitive side this year more than any other seasons. :) She even took a few tumbles and jumped right back up without even a flinch. Proud of our GIRL. :) We really loved our team too. . . .the coaches, the parents and the other kids were all great. Made this soccer season fun, just like our others. :) Fun to meet new people Mason, Hosea and McKenzie were in Christian's class at school so that made things really fun too. :) hahhah. Christian would hang out with whomever was not currently out in the game.
One day after a soccer game, while talking to her Nana on the phone, this is what I heard. . . ."well, I have something exciting. . . You know how I never get a goal? I ALMOST got a goal! I kicked the ball and I was only a inch away. . .A INCH! But the stupid ball went out of balance." She was excited it was close. Little did she know that later on in the season she would in fact get her FIRST SOCCER GOAL EVER!!!! Mason also go his first soccer goal ever in the same game. :) It was awesome to watch them get the goals and how they reacted when they finally got them. Ava was so excited, she threw her hands up in the air and lowered her head like, "finally, I did it! I accomplished my goal!" Her grandparents, myself and her daddy were all hoping and praying she would get one and then she did. :) The video I have of it was priceless. When she got the goal, she lowered her head and raised her arms in the air like a humble relief. hahaha. So funny. A huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.
