Rhyan's first Volleyball game

So the boys of Fall are into full swing with tackle football and LOVING IT!  Rhyan just kicked off her first season of volleyball this weekend!  What an experience this is going to be! :)  She actually is pretty good at it -but we certainly still have a lot of work to do.

Ready for her first serve of her VB career!

Rhyan seems to be a natural when it comes to sports (she must get it from her mother), however there is a difference in practice and games.  It is too funny to watch a ball served over the net by another team and the response of 7 and 8 year olds awaiting the serve!  Rhyan has an interesting 'spin' move that she does when the ball is over her head.  It is as if she is still going to try to get it even though there is NO chance of her making contact!  Hysterical to watch!  
Waiting patiently on the ball...



My beautiful girl...


During 3 games (to 25 points) there were only 3 or 4 'volleys'!  Yes, you heard me correctly, and it made for a pretty S-L-O-W game to watch!  BUT - the girls are having a blast and will certainly get better as the season goes on.  I can't wait until they are able to return serves and keep volleys going which will make for much more exciting games!  Until then - I will enjoy the pure joy Rhyan has in conquering yet another sport!  I am so proud of her!
