Julia loves soccer and would choose it over any activity. She started her first season with Gilbert Youth Soccer Association this last week- the Girls Under 7 (6-7 yr olds) division. Her team is the "Pink Thunder" and she gets to be decked out in pink- even her cleats are black with pink stripes. She is actually very good at it and extremely confident on the field. She is not one of the kids that waits for the ball to come to them, she is a true go getter on the field. As a child, I would have preferred not to participate in any sort of team game or recital. I liked taking gymnastics or being on a softball team but HATED competition or recital days. Somehow, I produced children a little more comfortable in the spotlight.
Her first game was at 7:30am yesterday. Yes, 7:30AM! I had to work so Chet was the soccer dad yesterday. Her team won 3-2 and Julia scored her first goal! I was SO happy for her because I knew she worked hard for it and has always wanted to score a goal. I was so sad that I missed it though. Way to go Julia!
*Julia is the one on the far left- she was one of the goal defenders.

She looks so cute in her little soccer outfit. I love how it is a tough sport, but she still gets to wear girly pink! Way to go Julia!!!!
I love their team name so cute and appropriate. Unfortunately all of my kids have started off timid. Thank goodness Luke is coming out of his shell. Way to go Julia!
Yeah Julia!!! We will have to come watch one of her games!! Maybe Brennan will change his mind :)
