More soccer

So, I have some catching up to do. But before I get to all the Easter biz, I had to document a soccer game from a week and a half ago.

First, there is no shortage of attention for Endsley with the grandparents. I think she has them wrapped.
O.k, so here is my little soccer player. In this pic she's doing what she is supposed to. You know...not running after the ball...just following the coach around the field. I have decided that soccer is more of a social event for the two of us. She gets to see her friends and I get to see mine. It's all good. If anything it gets her a little exercise, which makes for a good nap time! Now here she is waving like a little beauty queen. Seriously, she ran the field waving the entire game. Coach Wes said that the highlight of the game for him was watching her wave at us.

She has no idea where she is going. Just concentrating on those hands in the air.

This made for lots of laughs especially with the grandparents.

A beautiful day!

Yesterday, after I picked Riley up from school we headed straight to the park! The weather couldn't have been any better. I couldn't wait to soak up some of this sunshine. This was Endsley's first "official" trip. She went when she was tiny and in the sling, so this was a new experience. She loved the swing! Especially swinging with her big sister.

Loving the slide!

Endsley wasn't so sure about the mulch. She wanted to eat it.

Climbing the rock wall was a first for Riley. She did it over and over and over!

We stayed at the park for two hours and then headed home for more play time in the driveway.

Endsley loves riding in this with Riley. I strap her in and she is good to go!

Sisterly love

As I was walking out of the park with my two little lovelies, I couldn't help but think about how blessed I am. I have two perfect little girls and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Lord for blessing me with these sweet angels!

"You like carrots?"

Riley playing in the cabinet while I am cooking dinner. Her conversation to her soccer ball and cinderella ball... "You like carrots? You like broccoli? You like mushrooms? O.k, I'll get you some mushrooms." The next thing I see is her little hand pop out of the bottom of the cabinet, pretending to grab mushrooms.

Love that little girl!

Riley's first soccer game

Things didn't start out so great. The uniforms were given out at the field, so I had to dress he when we got there. She wasn't too happy about it. I wasn't about to fight the shin guard and sock issue. Team prayer before the game.

Papa came to see all the action! Cece had market and couldn't make it. He was warming her hands because it was so cold. As Riley would say, "I'm gonna get freeze, mom!"

Nonna and Brooke

Riley might or might not have a crush on coach Wes...."Hey!"

"Um, hello! I am talking to you!"

"Would you please hold my hand?"

Ah...finally!

The game consisted of them running up and down the field after Wes.

The crying didn't last long. Once she got over the uniform she had a blast!

Not sure about all this shaking hands business with the other team. They all looked so confused.

I wasn't prepared for the chilly conditions, so Endsley had to wear Riley's sweatshirt.

Hanging with Henry and Oliver... This will be our Saturday morning for the next month and half! Yeah for spring!!

A favorite "toy"

She can be found just about anytime of the day with one of these in her hands. It doesn't matter what is laying around, she goes for these!

Chill out

I was in the bathroom getting ready for dinner tonight when Riley walked in with her huge purse and baby doll that Nonna had gotten for her the day before. She said, " I want to go sit in the car and just chill out." Excuse me? When did you turn fifteen?! I said no and this is what happened.

Gotta love the drama of a three year old little girl!

Too much fun with the paint

I am so sad that I did not think to snap a quick pic when these guys had their clothes on. Houston and Riley had been upstairs playing in the play room when all of a sudden they appear at the bottom of the steps with clothes covered in green paint. It was all over their shirts, pants and hands. Thankfully, it is washable paint and came out of the clothes. It did not want to come out of the carpet though! A professional will have to take care of that. Who could be mad at these two though? They are just too cute! Off to the tub they went... You can still see a little of the green paint on Riley's hand

A little dinner date afterwards
