We were excited when Cassidee told us she wanted to play soccer this fall. I'm not sure she totally enjoyed it last fall. (Being 3 and new to the game, it was a big experience for her last year.) This year, though, she was PUMPED! Jeremy told her the night before her first game that he'd give her $5 for every goal she scored.

Here is her team getting a pep talk before the game.....they are in the orange.
Cassidee came out ready to play! She did such a great job of going for the ball and really hustling!
And then, about 5 minutes into the game,
SHE SCORED A GOAL!
Do you see the look on her face?
We're guessing it was total shock. She never showed any emotion about it!
I, on the other hand, was beside myself. I was jumping up and down, screaming for her. The video I was taking is ridiculously bouncy and I'm yelling so loudly into the microphone, it's annoying! I made her come over and give me a kiss.....luckily she wasn't too embarassed by me!
After that goal came 3 others!
But, she did get hot and asked to be taken out of the game towards the end. We played at noon, and I don't blame her one bit. I was melting just standing on the sidelines. She spent most of the 2nd half trying to fan her shirt and stay cool!!!
She was so excited about her goals and couldn't wait to go to the fire station and tell her daddy that she had scored. He was pretty sad that he was working on the day she scored her first goals, but I'm sure she'll do it again for him. I took her up to get the money he had promised her and luckily for him he decided to cap the amount at $10. She looked at him and said, "You owe me 20 bucks!" We all busted out laughing! -
We are super proud of you Cassidee and can't wait to see how well you are going to do this season!

Congrats Cassidee!!! Such a big deal! You need to tell her to tell Noah... I am sure they could have a pretty great conversation about that! :) He would love to hear about her scoring goals!
