Soccer Season Comes to an end....

We (Brooke and I) went out in the cold Saturday morning to watch Shelby and Kalyn play their last games of the season. Shelby's game was first at 10:00am. I met my sister, Gavin and Kalyn on the sidelines to watch. Luckily the day before at Walmart, I picked up those Hot Hands hand warmers because I knew it would be cold out during the games. Boy did those come in handy. The girls thought it was the coolest thing. When Shelby was rotated out of her game on break, you could watch her shaking that handwarmer like she was so proud of it. Poor Gavin had been sick earlier in the week and was broke out with a rash, so he was feeling a little under the weather. On to Kalyn's game at 11:30. Shaan (my brother-in-law) and Jeff coached this team (and did a very good job). Sad to say, Jeff got deployed almost a month into the season and wasn't able to be there until the end, but we kept him up to date with the happenings at the games. Their team the Hawks, were undefeated coming into this last game. They took the lead at the beginning of the game 3-0. Slowly the other team came back and overtook them 4-3, giving the hawks their first and only loss of the season. All the parents went to the other side of the field to greet their kids. I stayed behind to pack up and stay with Gavin who was passed out in his stroller. I looked up and here comes Kalyn, walking towards me. As soon as we made eye contact, she started crying. I knew she was upset at their loss. She was so proud to be undefeated the whole season. I gave her a hug and just about lost it myself. (Thanks hormones!!!) She was disappointed because she had been telling me if her team was undefeated the entire season, her team would get larger trophies than the other teams who had lost games. I felt so bad for her!!! I'll post a team picture when I get it from my sister (who is now very much under the weather). I'm so proud of both the girls!!!
