Season Opener

Friday night was Emmy's first soccer game of the season. We were there with her full force fan club, the picture above is just the family group who went out to dinner afterwards but there were at least twice as many Emmy fans there to cheer her on. They played great against powerhouse Santa Clara and didn't outscore them but it was in a win in Francie's book- she loved cheering EMmy on and yelling at those Bronco's "Don't take the ball from Emmy!" Let the season of soccer cheering begin!

the kick-off.. Emmy Belding, senior starter #10

we had a balloon in Kaky's seat, we all felt her presence

Johners B. supporting his twin sis, what a good brother ;)

Francie cheered Emmy the whole game

Maisie was in good hands with the Hinga family most of the game

"Bend it like Belding!" (very clever Tom and Crockett ;)

Almost in there!

Emmy's friends daughters and some of her favorite babysitting charges- Isabel, Ava and Giselle (in homemade #10 "jerseys" Alexis made!)

James and Em

Heff and Maisie

Deer in the headlights Francie with her Jannie

and to celebrate... a table for 22 at our favorite Original Joe's dinner spot in San Jose, we were there until midnight!
