Soccer Star

We are so proud of Taylee! She has taken to soccer like she was made for it. She had another game Thursday night in Pocatello. And while many of her team-mates were still doing somersaults in the corner :-) she scored 3 of their 5 goals! She loves it so much and was especially happy that daddy was able to see her. Every time she made a goal, she would get a huge grin on her face and run over to us to give daddy a hi-5 and give me a big hug. She is such a cutie!!

And although her soccer goals were the definite highlight of the night, the ending to the night was pretty great too. Both girls fell asleep on the way home (heavenly, I know :-) and as Sean was taking Taylee from the car to her bedroom she started to wake up a little. She got a bit irritated when Sean explained to her that he was taking her to bed and told him,"No daddy, I need to kick a goal!"

Sean, being the nice dad that he is, set her close to the ground where she kicked the air, told him thank-you, and promptly fell back into her deep sleep.

Apparently, she loves soccer so much that now she plays it in her sleep!!! :-)

I've seen her play soccer and nobody would believe that she first kicked a soccer ball like two months ago...she is TOO awesome! That's funny that she plays soccer in her sleep. I know somebody else that talks in their sleep too....hmmm....who could that be..... :)

That is so fun that she loves it so much. Jaxson loves soccor to0. Isn't so fun to watch them play and be so proud. That is too cute that she was playing in her sleep! She is such a cutie.

LOL! That is so cute about Taylee! Oh, and about your comment on my blog about my kiddos being angelic-obviously you only see the good side of them!! I found out that it was Michaela that was the culprit. Still thinking of how to get even!

You have a pro in the making. Its a sure thing when they start to do it in their sleep. I love it!!!

I wish we lived close enough to come to her games. Maybe next year we can make it to a few of them. I have to at least see her play once before she goes pro.
