Avery's Soccer Debut

Avery started playing soccer two weeks ago. She was so excited to play. For the entire week before her first day, she asked everyday, "How many days until my soccer game?" We went out and bought her a new ball, shin guards and her little cleats (they are the cutest things I've ever seen). So by the time Saturday finally rolled around she and Coach Cory were ready! Unfortunately, the first day was cold and rainy, but Avery got right out on the field and ran around. She had a little trouble keeping up with the game. All of the other kids are older than she is and most of them have played before. But, of course, that didn't stop her. And then the second week went much better. It was beautiful out and the kids were not as timid. And Avery once again had a great time!

Easter

Here are some of the pictures from Easter weekend. We had such a great visit with Gramma and Grampa. The first pictures are from Coco Key, an indoor water park that we went to. We all had so much fun. The girls had fun swimming, splashing, sliding and swimming in the lazy river. It was a blast!

Avery wanted to try this....it didn't go so well, but I got a good picture before she was dumped in the water

Sierra got a little wet too

The rest of the weekend was all about playing, relaxing, and Easter Egg Hunts (we did 3 of them!) The first egg hunt was at a local nursery with some friends of ours. Then we came back to our house and did another egg hunt with our friends again. The third was with Gramma and Grampa in the yard on Easter Sunday. Avery and Sierra were pros by the end of the weekend. For the next week, whenever Sierra found an egg laying around she would shake it hoping there were jelly beans or chocolate eggs inside.

Look I found an egg!



No one will notice if I just sneak this into my basket.

Peeps are good for breakfast, right Mom!
