She has mentioned recently that she would like to play soccer. I have just smiled and said okay we will see what we can do, or keep thinking about it. When she has asked a couple of times, I began to think, maybe I should take her a little more serious. I have come to discover that she was in fact serious and I began to see if there was any openings in her age group. Since I volunteer MANY hours with the AYSO organization (American Youth Soccer Organization) it was quite easy to get her signed up.
Thanks to her Nana in Georgia and her birthday money from Grandma Marie Great she was able to buy soccer shoes, shin guards, and a soccer ball (all of which are pink).
Tyler has been in heaven this week. All he has ever wanted was to have a sister play. While I was pregnant, he would say that this sister will play soccer if it is that last thing he does, so again he is in heaven that Brieanna has FINALLY decided to play. He has been out almost everyday with her teaching her how to dribble, pass, do throw ins etc. Brieanna even took a soccer ball on our walk yesterday and kicked it around the neighborhood.
She will play in the U10 division and her first game should have been today, but if you are familiar with Utah's weather, it is always bad weather on conference weekend. So she will have a practice on Tuesday and her first game should be next Saturday. Her uniforms are lime green and the team name is the Sour Apples.

Yeah for Brieanna. How exciting to start a new sport. Having all of her gear in pink just makes it even more exciting.
Cute photo and that is so cool that she wants to play and I think that is so sweet that Tyler wants to teach her "skills". Awesome---good to have experience in a wide variety of things and tell her grandma PG thinks she will certainly be a Soccer Diva
Awesome! She'll be great.
