It's SOCCER season!!
And the crowd goes WILD!!!
Ok, maybe just the people in MY house are going wild! :-) We LOVE us some soccer season!
J'Bear has just started her 15th season playing the "Beautiful Game". But this season will be a little different for the Bibbs family! One difference is, J'Bear has moved up to the Academy program from the Recreation program. So it's ON now!!
Another difference is, Mister M. is no longer coaching her team :-(. That part is actually kinda bittersweet. The bitter part is...he's not coaching her team anymore :-). The sweet part is,
As a coach, he and the other coach would often tell us spectators, not to "coach" the girls from the sidelines. We are only allowed to cheer the girls on and clap
But Mister M., we found out this weekend at a tournament, is not gonna transition to The Other Side very well! The man just can't help himself! I mean, he coaches the games on TV for God's sake!
So the only difference with him being on the sidelines with me now, is that he's no longer wearing a coaches shirt. That's it!! :-)
Gotta love him though! He just has a real love for the game and wants to see the girls (and our U19 boys) do well. He still coaches the boys. But that's even about to come to an end after this season (we think). As most of the boys are seniors in high school and will be moving on to college...or whatever.
Ok, I don't wanna talk about that part anymore!
Anyhoo...back to J'Bear. For the past several years, she has been #7. And now that's her favorite number. So being that I'm the team manager for her team, we got first dibs on her jersey number. So of course, we went with lucky #7 again. In fact, I call her 7 when she's on the field. She
So without further ado...I present to you....
LUCKY #
She's so stinkin cute!!!
