Getting the hang of soccer!

This Saturday we were prepared to spend hours on the field. Especially since this was picture day and Esme's team picture was at 8:30.

Renesmee was our caddy! (That evening was the BYU football game so of course we were already in our game attire!)

Here is our set up: large UK blanket, 2 Deloitte camping chairs, one huge-mega stroller, two soccer balls, a cooler full of food and ice water, a large bag full of crackers, sandals, etc, bottles, formula, and we even had a large umbrella for shade.

I thought Alice's picture and game was first so she was very disappointed when we got to the field and I realized Esme was first.

Not a happy camper!

Renesmee was very happy to be free to roam. Although she didn't want to stay on our large blanket. The grass was very wet and newly mowed so it got all over her when she crawled on it. But, she loved it!

I just love her expression! Even though she isn't happy she is still absolutely darling!

Here she is after her game started. She was much more comfortable and even got some kicks on that ball!

There's the Alice I love!

Edward taught Esme how to play a little game on his phone. Well, it has since gotten broken because we gave Alice a turn. Somehow she cracked the screen. Oops!

Both my girls enjoy being the goalie. Esme likes it because it gives her a chance to rest, and Alice likes to use her hands and jump on the ball. Plus, she gets lots of happy high fives!

I swear every kid becomes a spider in a web when they are the goalie. It never fails! They all get entwined in the net!

Here she is giving a thumbs up to her best friend, Grandma!

Now she's tired of pictures and is hiding.

Esme was such a good sport!

She notices that Alice gets most of Dad's attention on soccer days. He plays with her while Esme plays her game and then needs to help Alice or watch Renesmee while Alice plays. She made this observation. As Alice gets more independent on the field I hope Esme can get her fill of Dad!
