Gooooooooooooal!

Another great soccer season has come to an end.  Payton made lots of new friends, and has really improved her skills.  In fact, during the second-to-last game of the season, Payton scored her first goal ever.  We erupted in cheers, and Payton got a little embarrassed.  Devin then got very nervous because he remembered that he had promised Payton at the beginning of the season that if she scored a goal he would buy her a pony. (After two full seasons without coming close to scoring a goal, Devin thought that was a safe bet.)  Then, before Devin had time to fully process his dilemma, Payton scored another goal.  It was amazing.  Her team lost the game 9-2, but it was a game we'll always remember.  Lucky for Devin, Payton had forgotten about their deal and was content to celebrate her goals with lunch at Mr. Goodcents.

Wow! Go Payton! Little Soccer Superstar! Be honest, did you shed a tear (or at least want to) when Payton scored her first goal. I know I did when Ava scored her first. :)
