Hey Brittney that must have felt pretty good!! Who cares if it wasn't pretty, it went in. There will be other chances to beat the goalie. Speaking of the goalie, how does knocking down the goalie to get to the ball work?

Thank you all for being so excited with me!!! All of your comments were just so nice!! I wish we could go to camp and see all of you!
Well the next game we lost 6 to nothing - knocked us out of the tournament - wasn't pretty but we did buy a cool t-shirt!! The day Brittney scored she got out of the car and we were trying to find our field that she would be playing on. She tripped and SPLAT (face down) and Chip and I looked at eachother and thought "this can't be good!" But she bounced back up and said, "I'm OK!" LOL
John - LOL - you would have cracked up! She was running down the field and tripped into the goalie and they both went down and the ball somehow hit her leg and went in!!:) LOL Not the most graceful goal! LOL I kept thinking "she tripped again" but the ref called it because it was in that goal and we got a point and I was jumping up and down so much that I did not get a picture.

On Sunday she was marking a kid twice her size and she was down alot. She got knocked so hard at times that her body bounced off of the ground - but she is tough and soccer is what she loves.
Thanks again to all of you that replied. It was very exciting for us!:) She wants her next goal to be without tripping!:)

PS....My "angel" of a son pretty much monopolizes our PC on weekends, sorry I'm late posting....

WAHOO Brittany!!!! You go girl! You are a stud! Thanks for sharing the exciting news.

My little guy starts soccer this Sunday. He is really excited to play. Maybe Brittany can share some tips along the way.

Enjoy and celebrate!

Thank you Carolyn, Lisa, Louise and M&M's Mom (I love the idea of M&M''s Mom - that's clever:) My kid's are Brittney and Sabrina and sometimes I say SaBrittney - LOL - just a slip but it covers them both.... LOL Your posts were all so kind! We have a game again tomorrow and Brittney is a starting wing. Her new pink soccer shoes do not look so pink anymore -. I''m hoping that she kicks one in tomorrow instead of falling in to the ball... LOL She laughs about it too. Lisa - your little man I hope will love soccer - it is such a great sport and he will meet so many kids his own age and you will meet parents. Chip and I have such close friends that we've met thru soccer. Parents on the sidelines rooting for your child, and the ones saying, "At least your child didn't score for the other team!" LOL LOL Soccer is fun. It's funny when they are younger and playing (age 4) - Sabrina had two friends that would hold hands and look up at the sky the whole time! LOL Others would be chasing bugs - but they improve over the years. Sabrina has a game in a little while.
Thanks again,
Christy

Christy,

Good luck at the game! Have fun!

I know my little guy will love it. Everyday this week he keeps asking me, "What day is it? What day is after today?" He is ANXIOUSLY awaiting for Sunday, so tomorrow he will be a VERY happy boy and will thoroughly enjoy his first soccer game. I played soccer growing up and in high school, so will probably end up coaching some time, but for now I look forward to cheering the team on from the sideline. It will just be so cute seeing these little ones running around. Can't wait!

Take care,
Lisa

Lisa, please let us know how Tanner's day went.....I can't wait to hug ya!

Hi Carolyn,

I can just tell you in person. How cool is that? Can't wait to see you and get that hug!

Safe travels,
Lisa
