Taegan's First Game of the Season!

Our day started off with the banner parade at 7:00am.

Then pictures were taken for this age group and they were nice enough to let us take pictures with our own camera even though I bought them anyway. Taegan loved the way they posed her!

Then while we waited for the rest of her team to have their pictures taken she decided she wanted more pictures of her so she struck a few posses for me!
Then finally to the game. This year was totally different than last year for Taegan. This morning before the game I asked her if she knew how to play soccer and she said yeah, you kick the ball in the goal! So then I asked what she does if the other team has the ball and she told me you kick the ball away from them then kick it in the goal! That works for me, now just do it! Last year she ran around the field but really didn't care about what she was doing she was just having fun. This first game, she told me she had to score one goal for grandma because she promised her that she would. So I thought, that's great one goals fine with me as long as she's trying. Well, I don't know what came over her but she dominated the field, she scored five goals. After the fourth one the coach started kicking the ball away from her when she was heading for the goal so that some of the other kids would have a chance. She would score and then walk back to the middle of the field trying not to crack a smile but you could see she really wanted to, she was so excited! It was defiantly more fun to watch her first game this season than it was watching her last year. Taegan is the one with the ball in the gold in both of these pictures!
