Spring Soccer

This spring, Emma decided she wanted to do soccer again. We signed her up with a little league called Holladay Lions. There are 12 kids per team and they play/practice twice a week. Emma loved being the goalie. I secretly think it was so she didn't have to run up and down the field. She got pretty good at blocking the ball. They aren't allowed to use their hands in the league/age because of previous hand injuried, so we had to teach her to block by kicking the ball out of the way. She got really upset one game when the ball got past her. She started sobbing and she said she didn't want her teammates to not think she was good. I esp. like the tear drop clinging to the end of her nose. She is so sensative about feelings.
Jax was really good about hanging out with me, and sometimes Ryan, on the sidelines. As you can see yes...Jax is wearing his WINTER coat. All but maybe 2 0r 3 games out of 8 were FREEZING.
