Soccer Time

 Morgan started soccer through the City of Tempe two weeks ago and she LOVES it!  I never thought about putting Morgan into soccer until my friend Lauren told me she enrolled her son Kaden for soccer through Arizona Soccer Club.  We decided to go through the city because it is only 5 weeks instead of 9 weeks (she'll be done before the baby comes) and we wanted to make sure Morgan enjoyed it.  If she wants to play soccer again next year we will definitely do one where she is actually on a team.

Ethan enjoys going to see Morgan play soccer, but he just doesn't like that he can't go out and play with her (it's for ages 3 - 4).  We sat in the bleachers where no one was, so Ethan was happy running back and forth on the bleachers.  For most of the time anyways.

Doing her stretches.  Morgan makes me laugh.  She was sitting about 4 kids down from her coach and then got up and moved so she could be right next to her.  She has always been one that wants to be right by her teacher, and tell them what she has done that week and/or show them what she is wearing.

 For fitness she was with Coach Angelo.  One of the things he had them do is run around 4 cones.  Here she is running forward.

 Then she was supposed to run sideways.  What she is exactly doing here I don't know, but it makes me laugh.  It did take her a bit to figure out the running sideways.

 And her favorite, running backwards.

 Then she went back to her other coach (which of course I can't remember her name) to practice kicking the ball in the net.  Dustin got a good shot of her jumping over the cones.  This is her favorite thing to do.  She is always setting up her cones at home so she can jump and kick the ball.  She's gotten pretty good at it.

 GOAL!!!!
