Crazy summer activities...

In our local soccer club a few of the coaches get together and hold a soccer camp for four nights. This year Mikayla participated in the camp. Most of the girls were 4th through 6th grade....but Mikayla held tough being the youngest {1st grader}
Since she was the youngest, she usually didn't get picked for the partner events...that left the younger coach volunteer to partner up with her...at least she was a good sport.
I don't know that she learned any NEW moves, but she definitely tried to keep up with the older girls and worked hard.

and she had fun!

Can't wait to watch her this Fall when she starts traveling with the U-9 team.

Ok let me explain....



This was definitely one of those great mom moments..... while we were at the soccer camp, Alexis was having a blast playing on the playground equipment. As we were sitting there we heard a scream/cry and knew it was Alexis. She went to one of the 7th graders that was sitting on the playground and was talking to her. I assumed she was just scared of a bug or spider and I yell over to the 7th grader "You can laugh at her". And then I yell to Alexis "Did you get stung?" Alexis yells "Yes" and that was it. About 20 minutes later she comes over to Joe and I and says her finger hurts and sticks it out....wouldn't you know it, she did get stung and guess which finger it was! LOL

So yes I laughed at my daughter while she was in pain from a bee sting and Yes we totally had fun with asking her to show us the finger with the boo boo on it!


Instead of saving all the school projects, we take pictures of the projects with the creator. Here is Alexis' Spring umbrella...

one of my favorites this year....love the background colors.

One of Mikayla's friends had a party at one of the local pools this summer....we all made an event of the party....

crazy Alexis...

Mikayla and the birthday girl, Olivia and Alexis stole some poor kids inner tube....


some back yard fun...

Mikayla wanted to practice her field hockey moves....so Alexis decided to grab a stick....

and shin guards.... not quite sure how flip flops will work for ya though?
