Last Soccer Game & a few other Pics

Today was Allie's last soccer game. Unfortunately, they lost......but Allie had a great game. The quarter she was goalie no one scored!

Avery's last soccer practice was earlier this week..........

We always tried to go early to her practice so they could play on the playground beforehand.

Some Random Sleeping pictures!

This kid is growing up way too fast. He now refuses to sleep in his crib at night. He'll cry and cry and when I come in and ask him what's wrong he'll look at me with his puppy dog eyes and sadly say "bed" while pointing at the king size bed in his room. I finally gave in and every night as soon as I put him in that bed he goes right to sleep!

This is how I found the girls the other night.......when they were supposed to be in their own beds (which would have been much more comfortable)

We need to get him one of these. He LOVES it!

End of Year Party / Field Trip / Preschool Graduation

It's been a busy week! Last Thursday was Avery's end of year party. Myself and three other Mom's were in charge of it. We kept it low key and spent most of the time just playing at Columbian Park.

Today was super busy. It was Avery's Preschool Graduation and Allie's field trip. Allie really wanted me to go with her on her field trip so I wasn't able to go to Avery's Graduation. Luckily I had my Mom and Grandma to go help support her and take pictures.

SOCCER!!!

Boy have we been busy this past month! Both Allie and Avery are playing soccer this spring and we are at the soccer field 5 days a week! Two practices and two games a week for Allie and one practice a week for Avery. It's been busy but so fun! I love watching them play and it helps the days go by faster.

Avery is playing at the Y and is just in an instructional league. She is going to be quite the athlete!
It's been rainy almost every practice so all I have so far are blurry pictures of her in the gym.

Avery is kicking the ball

When Allie started soccer she had forgotten a lot from the previous season she played. So after the first practice she was pretty hard on herself saying she wasn't any good and wasn't sure if she wanted to play. She is very dedicated and stuck it out and has made such an improvement. The saying "practice makes perfect" really is true! This year she isn't playing with the YMCA, but a local rec league.......Greater Lafayette Regional Soccer Alliance (Derek and I coached a youth team on this league back in the day). A lot of her games have been cold, wet, and muddy. :( She's toughed it out though. They've one most of their games.....only lost one and tied one.

So cool that she's number 11. The same number that Derek and I had when we played soccer in high school

Allie has played goalie a few quarters. She hasn't let any balls get past her yet. It's quite nerve-wracking watching this!

it almost squeezed through her legs!

May 2. Avery rode the Boilermaker Special with her preschool class. I thought Blake would like it but I think it was too loud!

finally getting to enjoy the nice weather

this kid really does have a shoe fetish. He always wants them on......and they are usually not his.

2 weeks ago Avery's class had baby chicks hatch in their class!

From Avery's class Valentine's party

Last week the recycling truck came to their school

 

Last month they went on a tour at the post office. Avery took a letter to mail to Daddy.

More Randomness

this is way back in January or February when I had one on one outings with the girls. I forgot to take a picture of Allie on hers. Both outings were to Barnes & Noble for dessert, drinks, and a book!
