My Soccer Girl


We've hoped since last year when Ashley started dribbling the ball between her feet, that she'd be good.  She didn't get it from me! Considering I've never played before. ;)

Last week she had a rough time. She didn't like being pushed around but held her own.  This week was a different story.  Daddy had a little pep talk with her and told her to go for the ball and run.  She did!!  

We missed her FIRST goal for various reasons.  The other team was great at scoring goals in our goal in between.  her teammates made several goals.  With a few minutes left to go in the game, Ashley decided to take over.  One time down the field she got within a few feet of the goal when the other team got it from her and scored - in our goal.   The next time down the field she was about to make a goal when a member of the other team decided to pick it up... Whoops!!  She decided to make up for it and took off down the field and kicked it in!  So the last time down the field she was running after her teammate who was about to score, he missed a kick, she took over and scored.  So yep, THREE goals for my little girl!! She just can't seem to stop beating the boys. ;)  That's my girl!!

Oh and just and FYI, this picture is from last week.  I wanted to get a picture of her adorable pigtails with the orange and blue ponytail holders but she took them out too fast!!  We decided they are her good luck charms!!!  She also had a super cute orange skirt too. Quite the clash. ;)
