DIXIE STATE UNIVERISTY WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM

Yes my beautiful soccer player is now at home playing for

DIXIE STATE UNIVERSITY WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM.

While she was home waiting to go back to Barton and play her all time favorite position as

STARTING STRIKER

she received a phone call from Dixie State's Soccer Coach.

She was wanting to make an offer to Cecilee to come and play Goalie for their team, because she lost 2 of her Goalie's. So she met with Cecilee and she didn't have much to offer her, because it was so late in the season and they only do partial scholarships so we would have to pay half.

Well, that didn't sound very good, because at Barton EVERYTHING was paid for, so she turned it down. Well the lady called again and asked if she had any diversity in her. Yes, she is POLYNESIAN!!! Then she asked if she was a resident of Kansas. Yes she was that also.

We had been praying to have Cecilee come closer to home and play, whether it was up to northern Utah, Nevada or Arizona, because we wanted to be able to go to her games and support her.

Well the coach called again and asked to meet with us and Cecilee. So Bryan and Cecilee went and she offered her a 3 year ALL TUITION paid scholarship, thanks to the grants that she found with the Diversity group and being an out of state resident.

WOW!!! That was very unexpected, but I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for each of us and he always seems to intervene. Cecilee was NOT happy about the offer at all!!!

She wanted to go back to Barton and play STRIKER.

Bryan explained that to the coach that she also plays STRIKER and she was shocked and excited and said that she would allow her to play both positions.

Cecilee was still NOT happy, but she knew in her patriarchal blessing it says that her education will be paid for and it will come in the form of a miracle. So she knew she had to accept it.

After signing her release of scholarship for Barton, she received bad news from her coach.

ALL OF HER CREDITS FROM BARTON DIDN'T TRANFER & she was short 3 credits

and CAN'T COMPETE, but can PRACTICE and RED SHIRT this season.

OH MY GOODNESS, she was P***ed OFF!!!

She blew it!! Which I didn't blame her, she gave up the position that she loved at Barton to come home to play and she isn't playing now. My poor Cecilee, she kept yelling,

"Why do things like this ALWAYS happen to me!!!"

Well, come to find out Cecilee and Bryan both told the coach that she had taken classes from the college during high school and that maybe those would help. AND they DID!!!!

She came to her at practice and told her that she will be playing this season and

NOT RED SHIRTING afterall!

Wow, what a test and blessing! Heavenly Father sure knows Cecilee, as well as all of us and has a plan for us all, we just have to continue to have

FAITH IN HIS TIMING and HIS PLAN!!!

FC ST. GEORGE. WOMEN'S PREMIER SOCCER LEAGUE

Cecilee is home for the summer for 9 weeks and she was asked to play

Staying in shape for college soccer!!

Soccer Season

 Some fun shots from the newspaper

 I love having all 4 of my kids together,

since Cecilee has been at college, I had to grab this picture!!!

 Of course I had to get a FAMILY PICTURE too!!!

We missed Jeff!!!

Hannemann & Trevor

These two boys have quite the connection. They not only look a lot alike, they act a lot alike.

Trevor loves Hannemann and has always thought of him as his little brother

that he never had.  He's taken him hiking to the top of the Red Mountain

and camped with all of his friends. He's taken him to the lake with him and

taught him how to Bike Launch and they have big plans for the summer.

He loves to teach him things that a big brother would teach a little brother.

Hannemann came and surprised Trevor at his soccer game.

They both love each other soo much, it's so cute to see.

Soccer Season 2013

Cookie Dough Anyone?

The worst part of participating in sports, is the fundraisers.

But they are a necessity and have to be done, so for soccer the team sold COOKIE DOUGH.

Trevor is extremely shy and has anxiety over things like this so I helped him by

sending out text messages to some of my friends and made some calls.

He ended up selling 57 cookie doughs.

He was the highest seller, so he got 5 draws from the money bag.

His first draw was exactly what he wanted, $100.00 bill.

He was sooo excited and selling made it all worth it.

 He used his money to purchase a stereo for his jeep.
He is getting ready for the summer!!!
He and Bryan spent a few hours installing it and bonding as father & son!!
Trevor loves hanging out with his dad!

Futsal Champs

While Cecilee has been off season, her coach and teammates are still in training

by doing Indoor Soccer.

They had a tournament and took it all!!!

They are still working out and practicing everyday preparing for next year!!

Her team took GOLD!!!!

 Sydnee and her teammates!!!

 Bryan is always so proud of his children and their athletic ability!!!

They definitely get that from him!!

Kansas Newspaper Clippings

- FROM THE BARTON NEWSPAPER on OCTOBER 14th 
As the rain started to fall and the wind calmed at Cougar field, the Lady Cougars had seized momentum and eventually they led eight minutes later. Horlacher, who is the Lady Cougars’ regular goalkeeper, moved to a field position in the second half to help aide the front line attack and it paid dividends for first-year head coach Aaron Avila.   Taking a throw-in from Courtney Galliher, Horlacher crossed a pass through the box to Ruth Cazier and Barton had their first lead of the game.  Barron then gave Barton a two goal cushion midway through the half taking Jessica Rosenberg’s pass from midfield to chip shot a thirty-two yard kick over Hughes.   Barron wound up her five goal day punching in a deflection off of Cazier’s corner kick with five minutes to play.

FROM THE BARTON NEWSPAPER on October 22nd - However a patient Barton offensive attack stated chipping away at the Panther defense until twenty-five minutes into the contest when the Lady Cougars broke through with it's first goal. Subbing in Cecilee Horlacher, whose been pushed into field duty due to key offensive injuries for the Lady Cougars instead of her normal starting Goalkeeper position, contributed her second assist of the season as she drew Neosho keeper Haylee Merrill away from goal to open up a land for Bianca Barron and cross it over. Barron, beat her Panther defender and delivered a sliding kick past the diving goalkeeper.

Kansas Surprise!!!

Cambria, Jeff and Bryan had bought me tickets to Kansas to go and see Cecilee for my birthday!
I was soooo excited I could hardly contain myself!
My first view of Kansas, I was soooo excited I couldn't wait to hug my girl!!!

It was a 2 hour flight and the seats were pretty comfortable, we flew Alligient.

I had contacted Cecilee's roommate and let her know that we were coming into town and wanted to surprise Cecilee.

She and a bunch of girlfriends were going to dinner to a mexican restaurant and so we decided to surprise her there. She told Cecilee that her boyfriend was coming into town with a friend and he was going to meet them at dinner. Cecilee kept saying, "Your boyfriend had better know what he wants to order when he gets here because I am starving!!!"

Katelyn came and met us outside and we walked in with her.

Cecilee was eating chips and salsa and was in midstream of dipping her chip when she saw me.

She said, "Mom, Mom, Mom!" and starred like she couldn't believe it and then ran to me and hugged me and bawled like a baby. She wouldn't let go of me, of course I was crying and everyone at the table was crying. Then she saw Bryan and she ran to him and hugged him.

It was the best surprise ever!!!

She kept saying, "I can't believe you guys are here!"

During dinner Cecilee and her friends had them sing, "Happy Birthday " To me

and after they sang they pie'd me in the face. (NOT HAPPY!)

Cecilee said, "Mom don't be a DIVA!"

Totally did not expect to have cream all smashed in my face in a packed restaurant.

Cecilee and all of the girls who were at dinner

Carolina,Katelyn, Cecilee, Ruthie, Mariana, ?

After dinner we went back to her dorm room to see it.

She had a bunch of pictures on her closet door.

Cecilee and her roommate!!!

She loves her and they are silly!!

When we left they all walked us out.

Emmanuel, Angel (Rhino), Katelyn and Cecilee

Our cute girl excited to come with us to breakfast!!!

She came running out of her dorm as if she were on a game show!!

"Come On Down, Your the next contestant..."

The next morning we went back to pick Cecilee up for breakfast and got to see Barton in the daylight.

At breakfast, Cecilee told us that Friday at practice she played the field because the coach didn't want goalies. Then she proceeded to tell us, "Mom, I dominated!!! the field! I'm not bragging but I know my coach saw that I could help on the field"  She said that he didn't say anything at practice but she could tell by the look on his face and all of the girls were saying, "Cecilee, why don't you play field? Goalies usually don't have that kind of footwork." She loved practice that day, so she said we will see what happens in this game today.

We took he shopping after breakfast to get food, jacket and a chair and umbrella for us to watch the game.

It was so wonderful to spend that time with just her and focus all on our Cec-So-Sweet!!

Here is Cecilee and her roommate ready for the game and heading to the field.

This is the view of the field from the parking lot.

You see those clouds?

We got lots of rain!!

Cecilee warming up with her team

Running and doing stretches

Then she went to warm up doing strickly GOALIE warmups.

These are the programs for every single game.

Every game they have the college that they are playing, the stats and the team rosters for both teams.           And their ranking.

Cecilee during the game made a number of saves, but there were alot of  PC's that 

this certain girl from the other team scored.

She had that kick mastered, barely under the crossbar-skimming the net and a little too high for Cec to get.

So they were down at halftime 1-4

The mascot cheering on the girls and the parents

Before the game started the guy that posts on facebook the updates of Barton's games, thought he saw something on facebook about me being in town. He asked Cecilee if her mom was in town and when she said yes, he said, "I have to go over and meet our #1 cheerleader from Utah and on Facebook!"

He came over and met us and while visiting he mentioned that the coach might play Cecilee on the field today.

So after the first half I saw the girls go to their circle to listen to their coach and didn't see Cecilee, then I saw her come from the tent and she was in a white uniform.

He is really going to play her on the field.

Well the game started and Cecilee was out there.

She played AWESOME!!!

She brings an intensity to the field like no other!!!

She shutdown that girl and kept her from scoring again.

I could tell that she was quite winded but her adrenaline kept her playing hard!

Cecilee played the whole 2nd half on the field except for 10 minutes.

She took a girl out with a concussion and that's when her coach felt like he needed to give Cec a break.

The girl didn't realize that Cecilee is a brickwall.

She almost had 2 goals, but she had a few assists.

The final score was 7-4 we won!!!

Cecilee definately was the game changer according to the coach and the boys soccer team!

During the boys game it started raining and the clouds rolled in and a Tornado Warning was sounded.

OMG are you serious, I am going to experience all of KANSAS?

Cecilee and I under the umbrella we bought earlier.

Cecilee's Coach, Aaron Avila very good guy who knows his sport!!

  

Cecilee and some of her guyfriends who are on the boys soccer team: David from Isreal & Rhino

This was Sunday, we went to church and then brought her back to her dorm before we left for the airport. It was a 2 hour drive from Wichita, Kansas.

Our last picture with Cec!!!

I didn't even cry, I could see how much she was loved by her ward, her teammates, her friends, & roommate and that she is happy!!!

My last picture of my girl!!!

The view from her parking lot, yes in the middle of cornfields!!!

Good Bye Barton, take care of my daughter!!
