SOCCER SOCCER SOCCER

As you all know Marcelo plays, and loves, soccer.  We are in full swing of his fall outdoor season and he’s loving it.  As expected.  So we signed him up for an indoor (in the winter)/outdoor (in the summer) league (which his dad is coaching).  He’s doing so well and we’re so very proud of him. We’re hoping for great things to come!

What we didn’t expect though is that Sofiya has become OBSESSED with soccer.  She talks about it ALL the time.  Is AWAYS kicking a soccer ball (or any ball) around the house and is ALWAYS yelling at someone because they will not kick the ball with her.  She has so much fun if I (or Marcelo, Cody or daddy) plays an indoor game with her in the living room.  We set up little goal areas and we really do play a little game of soccer.  She totally gets the concept and she dribbles amazingly and she has a super hard, super accurate kick!!  We’re really anxious to see how she does once she’s able to play on a team next fall.  And she super anxious to start.  Kalia likes to kick the ball for a bit but tires of it pretty quickly though.  She’s such a girl that it doesn’t surprise me one bit. lol.

OH MY GOSH! How cute is Sofiya!?! That is awesome that she is so good kicking the ball (LOL about Kalia being a girl. I can TOTALLY see that one. LOL)

Cello looks awesome! I can't get over his form! He's a true athlete :)

Look at his moves. He's a star in the making for sure. Love watching the girlies kicking the ball around too.
