Little Soccer Girl


Makelle decided to be like her Dad and 'Bubba' and signed up for soccer this year.  She was highly disappointed that she got a green jersey and not a pink one, but she still ended up having a ton of fun... at the games that were not cold and rainy.  If the weather was bad, she had no desire to play though.  One of our favorite moments was just such a game when they had one extra player and so the coach asked if anyone wanted to start out and every single girl's hand shot up.  Slight contrast from Corbin's games where everyone fights over who has to sit out.

But aside from those 2 cold games, she loved playing soccer and even made a goal at one of the games.  She also really loved picking how to style her hair for each game, looking cute is equally important to scoring :)  

Girl's soccer is  not nearly as aggressive as the boys' game we discovered, but that worked out because while Makelle doesn't have a very powerful kick, she definitely does a great job of controlling the ball as she dribbles down the field.  It was so fun to watch her play this spring!
