game day!

okay...so, i thought i'd just take a few pictures today but i got a little carried away (again :). here are some pics from kaia's first soccer game...but for the most part, kaia did really well...she even made a goal! btw, you know how i was talking about how my mom bribed me with lip gloss...well, the little girl's mom who in charge of the snacks today had a tube of lip gloss in their bag of treats...bribes really do work!
she getting "mentally prepared" for the game (or something like that)...
we had to get a pic with her before the game started!
thank you for coming anutie kimmy, uncle john, caleb (who, as you can see supported kaia with their team spirit wearing the team colors), papa and nema...
yeah butterflies!!!
she started out the game with lots of energy and kicked the ball a lot...
this pic was taken right after she scored a point...look at the little smirk :)


i think 1/2 time was their favorite part of the game...
kaia and her little friend, ari, who is also in her pre-k class...you can't eat these kind of orange slices without doing this, right?!
after 1/2 time...things kinda went downhill. it was getting pretty hot and she didn't like how a little girl on the other team always had the ball. don't you hate when that happens? :) so, i told her, "baby, that's the game, you have to kick it away from her & kick it into the goal"...she didn't like that response...poor girl.
yeah...she was kinda DONE (good thing there was only like 5 minutes left!)
she felt much better after she cooled off...hopefully it will start cooling off soon, for the rest of the games!
leia and nema cheered kaia on!
thank goodness for shave ice afterwards!
much better mood in the car on the way home! :)
good job, my love.
