Mighty Little Bumblebees

She shoots, she scores!  The crowd goes crazy!  This was a very familiar scene this season for the Murphy Bumblebees.  They were undefeated, scoring a whopping 70 goals in only 8 games.  Maybe even more impressive, they only gave up 5 goals.  Wowsers!

Go Brooklyn!  She's a beast on the field!

Of course, this little blonde on the left is still my favorite to watch.  She really blossomed this season.  Lila's always been very strong on defense--she is seriously fast and is tough, too, but she has finally started scoring goals.  

After Brooke got another goal, they did a chest bump to celebrate!

That toothless smile--priceless.

The Bees won 7-2!  First place in the first grade league.  Way to go, girls!  All of them have seriously improved this season.  They have started spreading out, playing their positions, and passing the ball.  They enjoy the game and make their coach look good, too!

This little girl makes us two very proud parents.  I'm so thankful that Jared has been able to coach Lila and help her develop into a strong soccer player.  

After the game, we invited all the players and their families to celebrate at our house.
Coach said something nice about each girl and then gave them their trophy.

These girls love some trophies!

Then it was the girls' turn to show their appreciation for Coach Jared.
They gave him a gift card to Dick's Sporting Goods--perfect!

While I went inside to meet the pizza guy, these crazies hopped into the pool!
The hot tub was warm...

but the pool most definitely was NOT!

Go big or go home, I guess!  Congrats to all 12 of the Bees.
They inspire me with their intensity and ability to win. When you give 100%, good things happen!
