Soccer Play-Off Game #2

For the second play-off game, the team tied 0 to 0 against the first place team. Then they went into 2 (5 minute) overtimes. Still tied 0 to 0. The refs were then deciding whether to go to penalty kicks or to sudden death and they ended up going with penalty kicks. Aubrey's team's goalie saved every shot the other team made (3 of them) and Aubrey's team shot all of them into the net (again, 3 of them). The final score was 1 to 0 - with their team now moving up into the championship game next week. The girls were sooooo excited! :)

This is also the farthest Aubrey has gotten on a soccer team; all seasons, she has made it to play-offs but never the championship! And every season, she keeps getting better and better and more aggressive with the ball and out on the field. Go Aubrey (and team)!

{We finally got smart and brought his bouncy ball - thinking it would provide more entertainment than going up and down the hill. But it ended up being the same...just while holding his ball now! :)}

{This picture was taken right after I stopped her from picking on her brother - pulling on his shirt while he kept trying to walk forward...to be exact. Such a stinker!}

We're so proud of you Aubrey! Way to go!! :)
