Kickin' It For the Cure

 Our tournament season continued this weekend with the Kickin' It Challenge in Escondido...with all proceeds benefitting the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  Both teams were playing in it and my parents were here to watch and cheer their granddaughters on!

 Allison's team beat Poway 4-0 and FC Sol 2-0 on Saturday, but lost to Temecula United on Sunday morning 2-0.  However they had enough points to advance to the championship to face Temecula United for a 2nd time and won 3-2!!

Taylor's team beat Barstow 2-0 and Poway 2-0 on Saturday and beat the Avengers 5-0 on Sunday morning to advance to the championship.  They faced Barstow again, didn't play their best, but won 

3-1!!

 Unfortunately, both championships were at the same time, so Matt and my dad watched Allison in the game Charlie coached and my mom watched Taylor in the game I coached.  Two amazing victories all while supporting a great cause!

 The "Bigs" and the "Littles", as we like to call them, have formed quite a bond this pre-season.  They really love spending time with each other...painting nails, eating lunch and goofing around in between games.  Parents from each team were texting each other during the championships so we could keep up on the scores and root each other on.  It was the perfect ending to a great weekend of soccer.

Reanna, Amanda (Turbo) and Allison, great friends on and off the field, celebrating their first tournament championship!  Precious smiles for sure!
