Suzy's fan club

Ari wasn't the only person headed to state.

Coach Hart took her team to the state playoffs all while 9 months Prego.

Her fan club:

League, District, Regional and State

WOOT WOOT! This has been a huge soccer year for the CHEETAH's. They won their league without losing one game. Then headed onto districts where they won in below freezing temps. Then off to regionals as the swept through the series.  And then they headed straight to the State Playoffs!!!!

State Playoffs consisted of 5 games.
They. Won. Every. Single. Game.
I'm proud of Ari...a lot. She is smart, loves to read, does her homework right when she gets home from school, is kind and quiet and calm. She plays hard and loves her friends. But when she played her heart out... in that final game and they won, it was a feeling I haven't ever really had as a parent. Weeks later we found out she won MVP of the entire tournament. Proud doesn't really do it justice. Love this lady something fierce and all the effort she puts into her soccer game.

When I asked her what her favorite thing about soccer this year she said: being able to play and have fun with my teammates.

Thatta girl!

Surrounded

Soccer season is in full force.
The Cheetahs are 4 - 0.
They are pretty awesome, Lu scored from mid-field on Saturday.

On a side note, I'm looking into baby leashes, so I can enjoy her games.

I'm proud of you Lu, even when you look over to see if I'm watching and I'm totally distracted by your bro. Sorry if I'm chasing him down the sideline or grabbing the handful of dirt he just put in his mouth, or running after him in the of another game. Or better yet, trying to withhold him from drinking all your teammates water. I am watching and am so proud!

I love watching you - from Brie's blog

Saw this over on Brie's blog and I just love it. And it's so true. I love watching Lu play sports. I just never tell her that. I tell her how awesome she is...but not that I love watching her.

"i read an article a few days ago that said after interviewing high level athletes the most common thing they claimed as the best thing their parents said about their sport was 'i love watching you play'. that really got me- not 'great job' or 'you are so good' but 'i love to watch you'.


i love everything about that statement. good or bad, win or lose, i LOVE to watch you is what it boils down to. and along that sentiment, here is the best commercial i've seen in a while..."

undefeated.

Cheetahs 4-0

I love being a soccer momma.

They love him.

My Little Nugget

Hey batter, batter, batter....SWING batter!!

All signed up and ready to go.

I have a feeling...after Ari's 7 goals in soccer on Saturday and then her carrying around a baseball bat all of Sunday that I am going to be spending a lot of my time on the sideslines in the coming years.

 

PS. photos taken in 2007! Some of my favs. Please note: This was after swimming and a very hot summer day..so her hair is a little wild.

If this wasn't $900 bucks I would suggest this was the one......

Off to the mall. To get new clothes. For my new job. That I didn't even know about until 2 days ago. I am blessed. Fully.

Ari scored a goal in this morning's soccer game. I can't tell you how proud I am...she is really stinkin good. LIKE really stinking good. And I love that she is so good at soccer.
