Little Kickers Soccer

Hallie was on the Little Kickers soccer team again this year and being one year older really helped her focus at practice instead of getting distracted with picking flowers for me and Cameron!? Her friend, Jaxton Routsong was on her team too and they had so much fun together! Their coaches taught them how to "squish the bug" (stop the ball) and how to be the "monster in the net" (be the goalie). Some fierce soccer lingo huh?


During practice, they would break into mini-classes and each coach would teach them something new, then towards the end, they played Sharks and Minnows, Hallie's favorite part! The point of the game was to run away from the coaches who were the sharks, but Hallie ran toward them every time!? I don't know if she liked being a shark or just didn't get the point of the game, ha ha.
Daddy, Sydnee and I were always there rooting her on each week and most of the time soccer practice ended in a "We love soccer" cheer from the team and a trip to Zesto's Ice Cream... yum!

Jaxton's younger brother, Cooper, is Sydnee's age and they entertained each other by picking grass, running around, and of course stealing the coaches cones and using them as megaphones or hats.
