Soccer Star!

I had grand intentions of doing a big post tonight with lots of pictures from the Hampton grandparents' visit this last week. But my computer is being super lame and slow, so I'm just going to start with the pictures we took of Kenley's soccer class.

She takes a soccer class once a week with her friend Parker who lives down the street from us. She really enjoys soccer, and starts off with good intentions, but she and Parker are the youngest ones in the class and always get a little distracted after the class is about halfway through.

Here is Kenley within the first few minutes of class, still participating:


Then things started to deteriorate. The whole class is listening to the teacher, while Kenley and Parker face the complete opposite direction:


They decide to abandon class for a while and go sit inside the goal:


Must make time for folk-dancing...


The class does a drill while Kenley and Parker sit off to the side and chit-chat. Kenley informs me that she is tying his shoes in this picture. I'm sure that was wildly successful.


Aaaaand, finally she decides to rejoin the class just in time to score this fantastic goal. A sports star in the making, for sure.

That's soo funny! Avery is on a soccer "team" with Ty and Andy, and they are pretty much the same way! Although they were both in tears the first few games, now they run around playing tag with each other and pointing out airplanes in the sky, or pick flowers. It's pretty funny to watch. But looks like Kenley does have a promising career in folk dancing if not soccer.

Too cute! Bill used to coach Jared's team, the 4 & 5 year old's. I have to say we never walked away without a good laugh. It's a very fun age!

You'd make a great kids sports commentator (i'm sure that's spelled wrong). I was cracking up at these pictures!
