Last Soccer Game

We finished our soccer season about 3 weeks ago.  Andy was the coach and they all had a great time.  The season was a little disorganized with the Y, but the girls didn't seem to mind.  Makena was on our team as well.  The girls have played at least 4 seasons together.  Here he is giving out trophies to Makena. I didn't get one of our girls.

In tune with the theme of the season, we didn't have an opponent for the last game, so the parents played the girls.  Andy played with B a few times!

Andy was on the girls' team.  I think this is Carly and Makena.  I think Carly is on the right.  It is hard to tell with all the blond hair:)

You can see the girls really were playing soccer this time.  They were able to play positions and guard the goal.  It was really cool to watch the progression!

 Just as a little reminder, here is the first season that we coached, 3.5 years old.

Kindergarten Celebration

It is hard to believe but there are only 2 more days of Kindergarten left!  The girls' school had a wonderful Kindergarten celebration today.  I forgot I needed to change my posting method, so the story is in rewind again!  Oh, well!  Daddy moved patients so he could come, Grumpa took off the morning, and even Caga was able to come for the performance!

Here are the proud girls with Daddy

Mommy and her girls!

The program was a wonderful group of songs.  Two children from each classroom were selected to memorize a part of the Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten poem.  Both our girls were selected from their classes.  Here is Joiner saying hers.  She had the hardest segment by far!  She did great!  We were reminiscing on how far she has come.  At 3, she cried through an entire dance recital at Salem gymnastics and at 6 she could memorize, recite, and tell a group of 300 a poem!  You've come a long way, baby!

Carly was one of the first to speak and she also did a great job!

Bennett wanted to take a picture of me before the show.  I think I am saying something about Mommy loving Bennett.

Then he had to say cheese to me!

I realize that we got no pictures with Gigi and Grumpa.  It is hard to get it all in!

The girls have done so well this year and we are so proud of you both!
