Jayla had her very first soccer game today and as you can tell she was so excited. Her uniform is huge on her but that what makes it cute, right. 
This isn't a very good picture. Next time I'll use the zoom but Jayla's the one in the middle of the line. Look how much smaller she is than the other kids. Ha ha! Before the game for 20 minutes they have a little practice and do drills. This was Jayla's favorite because she actually got to kick the ball. She also learned how to throw the ball in and she thought that was way cool.
When the game started she just stood there and watched the kids run around her. I think that she was patiently waiting for her turn. When she finally got close enough to me I told her to go and try to kick the ball. She did much better after that. Poor girl would run so hard to get the ball but she never got it because all the other kids are bigger and faster than her. But that didn't seem to deter her very much.
This is me and Blake on the sidelines. Blake wanted to get in on the action and didn't want to to be stuck watching. Next year he'll be right along there with them. (It looks like I've got a black eye in this picture. Totally an illusion.)
I think it's definitely more comedic than anything to watch them play soccer at this age. I'm so glad that Jayla enjoying it and she's so excited for her next game. I asked her what her favorite part about playing soccer was and she said the snacks. What do you expect from a 3 year old?

Oh what a cute little soccer player you have!! I so loved being able to see you..it's been a while. When was the last time?..Cade's wedding probably. I hadn't seen Wade in forever! It was so neat to me that your family made the trip to Idaho to be there to support Lexie. It meant a lot to see you...you get kinda sentimental when you've been away for so long! haha! :)
