My first soccer game started at 8am.  This year is very different.  There are no girls on my team.  We skipped 7 and under and are playing on the 8 and under teams so we will be playing with some older boys.  My dad is the assistant coach.  The field is much larger.  All the parents sit on the same side of the field and the players are on the other side of the field, to keep parents from "coaching."  There is a goalie.  And there are lots of game rules that have changed.

We played hard but didn't score any goals.  Final score was 5 to 0. 

It was only 81 degrees outside but it was so humid I was completly soaked from my head to my toes. Papa felt my soaking wet head.

 Papa and Daddy talked about coaching.

 Grandma always enjoys watching me play any sport.   All of our hard work at practice and during games will pay off by making us better soccer players.

I went home with Mimz to get cleaned up.  Mommy took me to Zac's birthday party at noon.  I was on a baseball team with him a couple of years ago.

Both OU and U of T easily won their football games tonight.  I've been told that I can root for both teams when they are not playing each other.  On the day they play each other, I probably will root for Texas because my dad is for Texas.  And I live in Texas.
