Baylor Soccer

ok-I promise I will never talk about this again!

Today we had a big alumni day at Baylor soccer. The new coach has done a great job getting most of the Big 12 champ team back together to help 'revive' the program. She brought in Randy Waldrum (who now coaches at Norte Dame) to inspire the current team. He honestly is the best coach I have EVER played for, and his record speaks for itself. 
One of the best years I have had was when we won the Big 12 my freshman year. The team was unique-we worked hard, but laughed just as hard. It was fun to see everyone after 9/10 years.  Sorry about the volume-I am posting TONS of pics for my parents b/c they invested so much time supporting my play. They grew to love all the players and family too! You have to click on them to really see them. So, here's for you mom and dad:)

Kids had fun with this bear, and then we took them to see the real bear

Carli Llyod spoke-She scored the winning  goal in this past Olympics for the US in the gold medal game against Brazil

Everyone is pregnant!

yep, still havin' fun-everyone looks the same!

Randy is going to recruit Kindle in 2025 hehe

We visited the football field and Kit's old locker room:)

Kit's lovely Quad!! All the football players stay there-yikes! it stinks!

Girls in the locker room for the alumni game-MANY a day pulling up socks over shin guards- the locker room is usually the funniest place! 

me and Jenny's sweet hubbies:)

1 football player, 1 tennis player

Carson grabbed his seat! 

Oh man-funny story. Lori's son got really upset when Lori was going out to play on the field and said "your not supposed to play, your too old!" kids are very humbling aren't they?

Wow!! A flood of memories :) The ones with the kids at the stadium and Carson by the plaque are so 'next generation'. Wonder how they will get 'Back to Baylor' ? Love, Momma

Cool pics and I'm glad you got to reunite with your team. It's just shameful that you couldn't have participated in a REAL sport like Cheerleading. Maybe Kindle will be so lucky.

That is so cool!!! I'm so glad they had something like that for y'all. You are so awesome.

Great pics! I love the ones with the kids on the field :) Is it going to be another Baylor tradition or are they gonna stay true to their roots and become Aggies !?!?! Perhaps and Jenny & Shelly can have a little say in that :)

Love ya,
Lil' Kaz

P.S. We'll be finding out soon if Carson and Kindle will have a girl cousin or boy cousin :)
