Ella's 1st GOAL!!!!!

Ella's #1 fan! He can be heard shouting, "EWWWWWAH!" on the sidelines!

The Cupcakes were ready for action last Saturday.....for once, the other team didn't tower over them in height. I think this gave our team the confidence they needed!

In the first part of the game, Ella 'NEARLY' scored a goal......she had kicked the ball from nearly midfield and just before it went into the goal, the other team kicked it away. It was SO close and we were so excited! Ella was just happy to have made a great play!

She was full of smiles and 'modeling' her curls that she had to have for the game!

Later in the game, Ella once again got the ball......she dribbled in across the field with everyone chasing behind her. It seemed to take FOREVER and seemed to be in slow motion......

And then......at last, she kicked the ball RIGHT INTO THE GOAL!!!!!

It was AWESOME!!!!!!!

I had tears in my eyes and so did Paul!

It was the cutest thing ever! Everyone was cheering so loud for her.......

This is her running back to midfield after her goal......look at that leap!

She definitely had a 'spring' in her step!

After the game, the other team's coach came over asking who Ella's mom was.....he had to tell me how cute her goal was and how she turned shades of red after she scored! I LOVE my Ella!

She reminded me of my 'promise' of a special treat if she scored.....so after the game, we headed out to lunch with the McGlassons. We tried a new place..."Baby's Steak & Lemonade". It was really good and we will definitely go back!
Here is Logan with his cheeks full of mommy's lemonade! He loved it!

The french fry worshiper!

Ella and Brooke.....the 'cute' pose!

Ella and Brooke.....the 'silly' pose!

The Cupcakes have one more game to go and then a 2 game tournament......here's hoping for some more goals from our newly confident girl!
