Spring Soccer starting up!

Today was Alona's first soccer game this spring. Same girls, same coach, a few different personalities coming out of the girls that weren't there last fall. When team mates score a goal Alona jumps up and and down and does other exciting gestures. And when the other girls run down the field kicking the ball, Alona is hopping down the field like a bunny rabbit. It is so cute. Watching her play today definitely put a smile on my face.
I am getting better at being a mom to children who play sports. The kids were all prepared today: hats, gloves, chairs, blankets and snacks! Alona even had a turtle neck and pants under her clothes. At the end she got gatorade and a chocolate bunny for a treat!
Abbi will be playing baseball next month! It is called smart start baseball, not sure what they will be doing it is the age group before t-ball. I guess I will see. She came to look at pictures from Alona's soccer game and asked if she could invite Grandma to her games! She is super excited.
It was a cold day, but so much nicer in Roy than it was in so many other places. Driving there we went through snow, sleet, hail and rain. We got to Farmington and could see clear skies ahead. And what do you know Roy is where that was. It was over cast all around but sunny there, just a little chilly and windy.
It was a good day. We wont make it to every soccer game, but will definitely enjoy every one that we make it to.

I wonder if many fathers get to take part in their children's lives as much as the mothers do. I wish I could have been there, I love seeing our children play!

HOW FUN! :) Let me know if you need help getting her to/from. :)

My boys did the Smart Start Baseball last year. They require a lot of "parental help". Throwing a ball back and forth, practice hitting and retrieving a ball, running thru a little cone obstical course. It was fun. Archer's not into "organized play", but DarTanion was totally into it! :)
