the next mia hamm???

today kaia had her first soccer practice & her first game is tomorrow. she did really good & she loved it...i don't think we have to yell for her to kick the ball tomorrow...she definitely got that down. hopefully she doesn't take after me as a kid. my mom put me and my sister on the same soccer team when i we were about kaia's age...and, we worried more about how many times she cheered for the other one. we also did a lot of pony tail twirling and being oblivious to the fact that the ball was right in front of us multiple times. i think the first time i actually kicked the ball during a game was when my mom bribed us...i think she said if we even tried to kick it, she'd get us lip gloss...hey, it worked! :) you never know, i might have to use that one on kaia :).
yeah...this happened on the way to practice so we missed almost 1/2 of it. thanks again for kim, caleb, tim & elizabeth coming to our rescue. we were out of there in like 10 minutes thanks to tim...
we made it to the practice finally & look how cute kaia and her little team are...
just a few action moments...








...and then, being silly as they helped the coach clean up the cones :)

leia was there to watch kaia practice, but she had to catch up on a few phone calls!
i'll have a bunch more pics tomorrow after the game i'm sure...wish her luck (i mean skill)! oh yeah...the name of her team are the "Butterflies" & the uniforms are orange (her favorite color) and she's #2...she says, "i'm #2 because 1 for me and 1 for leia" (she never forgets her 'lil sis).
