Who would have thought that soccer would be the sport of choice for Kaydree and Karsyn? We thought the girls would be little gymnasts and take after their mom, however they have really enjoyed the sport of soccer. Kaydree has tried tennis and gymnastics and didn't really care for them and both girls have done dance, too. Kaydree and Karsyn are thinking they may want to try gymnastics together, so we shall see? 
Saturday was their last day of soccer for the spring season and they each had 3 games. We really appreciated the support from friends that came to watch the girls in their games this season. The Welkers, The Seamans, Audrey and Teresa: Thank you: you have no idea how excited the girls get when they have fans, other than mom and dad. In fact the girls got up so excited Saturday morning, not because it was Super Soccer Saturday, but due to the fact that Teresa and Scott were coming. 
We met Teresa when she was a Junior in High School. I was pregnant with Karsyn and Kaydree just adored Teresa. We worked with her for a year and a half at the gym and she occasionally babysat for us, before she went off to college in Wisconsin. She also left for a semester to study in Australia. The day before she left she joined us at Build a Bear for a very sad, farewell. She is now back in the cities graduated and looking for a job. We have had the opportunity to hang out with her again. As Benjy says, "Kristen acts like her over protective big sister!" The other day Kaydree had a friend over and Teresa was coming over and Kaydree's friend asked, "Who is coming?" Kaydree responded with, "THE COOLEST TEENAGER EVER!" I had to remind her that Teresa is now 22, soon to be 23 and no longer the teenager that use to babysit for us! Crazy how time flies!
Karsyn had the most amazing coach. Joe coached both girls last year and asked me to assistant coach Karsyn's team this year. I agreed, before I knew I was pregnant. He has told us that he would love to coach Kaydree in the fall so he will be coaching with Benjy!
At the beginning of the season, Karsyn, was definitely in soccer for the social aspect. She use to stand twirling her pig tails and try to talk to everyone, other team included. The last couple of weeks though, Karsyn has really taken off in soccer. One parent told me in the bathroom, Karsyn just runs around smiling so much, that her smile is just so contagious.
Kaydree's team scored 8 goals total on Saturday, 5 of which Kaydree scored. 
Another coach described her as a lightening fast...WORK HORSE.
There is no doubt that Kaydree and Karsyn are the smallest ones on their teams, but they make up for it and hold their own. Sometimes I have to remind Kaydree not to throw her elbows around and to try not to get so pushy out there. As much as it will be nice to get a break for a month or so...it was really neat watching both girls this year. I love to watch them smiling and having so much fun with their friends.

I think your girls LOVE soccer! It was a lot of fun watching them play, so sad we won't get to see them next year. I hope Benjy enjoys coaching! Great job Kaydree and Karsyn!!
Good job girls! We tried Gabe in soccer but the program was a flop cuz the high school girl coaches thought 3 year olds new what soccer was about and didn't teach them anything. Kaydree has your competitiveness(sp?)which is a good thing.
Looks like a lot of fun. I wasn't ever in sports when I was a kid, but I think I would have really enjoyed soccer.
Emily loves soccer too. I had no idea you still hang out with Teresa, that's cool! Isn't it wild that it was when you were pg with Karsyn? Jake was just 5 months old when we started!!
Hopefully my girls enjoy it as much as yours.
Good job Kaydree and Karsyn!!
The girls might be smaller than the average girl out there but as far as Kaydree she definitely makes up for her size in her love of soccer. Karsyn has come a long way from last year and I bet they will enjoy the sport for a long time to come. WE are very proud of both of you GReat job
Your girls are such cute soccer players! I remember the pcis fomr last summer, too. Such fun! Cute 4th of July pics, too! Hope you are feeling well!
