Kristin, don't freak! I am purchasing these pictures and once I receive them, I promise, I will scan them and re-post but I just had to post about Kellyn as I haven't posted about her in a while. I am so proud of her...she is having a really good soccer year. When we first moved here, she played on a team that was just plain horrible. We thought everyone had finally caught up to Kellyn's abilities (as she used to score many goals every game!) because she didn't play all that great last spring. I guess it's true what they say "you play better when you play with better players" because last fall she got on Tiffeni's daughter's team who had played together for years. She did so well...we love her coach and love the girls on her team. Kel played great and scored lots of goals throughout the season. They only lost three games. She started playing on a boys indoor soccer league last fall and it was so good for her. She rarely scored but it helped her get really tough. So, her outdoor girl's team decided to get up a team for indoor soccer and it's been the best thing for all of them. The boys team also asked her to play again so she is playing indoor for two different teams. She is very goal-driven and we have really had to work with her on her passing because she is quite the ball-hog. (wonder where she got that?) Today Toya and Doug came to watch her play because she was playing on both teams. She scored six or seven the first game and six the second game. Her teams played two really weak teams but I am still very proud of her. She is playing her position well and she is very competitive. We love to watch her play. I think we are going to enroll her in every camp we can find this summer...Kellyn truly has good potential. I can't wait to watch her play for years to come.

Jessica played on scolarships at Tech....go Kellyn so good she's fouund something she loves doing. She could talk to matthias about soccer..His advice is don't burn her out to young, he gave up in semi-pro b/c his dad really pushed him when he was young and he burned out, but EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT THATS FOR SURE!!.........something we can chat about later, Great post...Go Kellyn Go!!
