purdy in pink

well, it all began last season when i bribed aubrey and tried to motivate here to work hard in her games. the deal was that if she scored a goal, i would wear a pink shirt.

this season, coach jeff put her at defense and she did great. she could see the whole field and having that structure really worked for her. well, instead of a goal, i told her if she got 5 steals or a goal... then i'd wear the pink shirt. well, against the toughest team we play this season, the "little angels", aubrey scored her first goal. you can check it out on the peurifoy's blog. her team mate crossed the ball to her and she kicked it in. it was awesome. she was so excited, me too, and cindy cried. it was a pretty cool moment. the next week she had 5 steals (she's had 4 before, but not 5). she really seems to be understanding the game more and enjoying it.

so friday night, between going to hobby lobby and becky's final home volleyball game, a visit to amy's friends house, and going to a high school football game to watch some of our band members and a football player... we put our shirts together. she wanted to make one for her, too. we actually burned some of the letters and numbers on my shirt but, oh well.

man, i look good.

uh... errr... except i don't know how to spell my daughter's name!!! look at aubrey's face!

lolo also has scored a few goals this season. she's having fun. i'm helping jana russell coach the team. we're the wildcats, so i use an acu purple soccer shirt to match her's...and i'll add on her name and number to the back.

so cindy and lolo picked out numbers and letters.

in case you are wondering, i went back to the house on saturday, after aubrey's first game and ironed new letters on. it was her fall tournament... 3 games! we went 2 and 1 (a 2-1 loss to the little angels).

let me know if you want to see the princess power or wildcats in action. just give me a call and i'll let you knowat what time their last game of the season is on nov 2nd.
