Ally's 1st Soccer Game

Other than the rain and Ally getting hit in the gut pretty hard with a soccer ball, everything went great. Some people (not mentioning any names) seemed to think they were gonna melt in the rain and decided to sit all by there lonesome under the umbrella and be a whiney jerk...well that didn't stop me and Adalyn from playing in the rain while watching Ally have the time of her life.

This was my first kids soccer game that I have ever watched and it was hilarious. They pushed, shoved, and basically hugged one another the entire time. On the other team, there was this big girl (I swear she had to 8). The parents on our team were gonna protest :) Too funny. It was a good game. Definitely entertaining.

Ally's 1st Soccer Practice

Just a few pics from Ally's first soccer practice. She did well after she warmed up to everybody. She tried playing shy at first, but now, its a totally different story. It is a co-ed team. 4 girls and 3 boys. I think its gonna be a good season :)

Ally

I'm going to dedicate a post to just bragging on my oldest daughter. Not only is she gorgeous, this kid is so smart. I am so lucky to be her mother. She continues to amaze me. As I think back over the last 4 years, if it weren't for her, I don't know where I would be. She was the only reason for keeping my head straight when losing Ava. She helped me cope so much and didn't even know it. I'm not trying to rush it, but I really cannot wait to see the woman that grows up to be. I see her as being nothing but independent and successful in anything she does. She already has the right mind set.

As you all know, Ally started soccer a couple weeks ago. As I mentioned in a previous post, definitely not my sport of choice, but she wanted to do it and again, as you all know, what baby girl wants, baby girl gets. Anyway, after practice, her coach comes up to me and asked me how old she was. Of course my answer is "4". He goes on to tell me how good she already is and how he cant wait to see her progress by the end of spring. Talk about a proud mama moment...that was definitely one. She really is a natural when it comes to sports. I thank God that she gets my athletic skills and not her Daddy's. Eventually, I'm sure I will be "THAT MOM". Maybe these parents will still like me by the end of the season, who knows. :)

Ally, I love you sweetheart. You are an amazing little girl and you are gonna go so far in this crazy world. Continue to shine bright and knock 'em down with your smile.

9 Months

Hello World, its the one and only :) I am 9 months old today and according to Dr. Walker, I am off the charts awesome. He said I was big for my age, but seriously...I think its just this diaper making my butt look big. I am crawling everywhere now and just this past weekend, I have decided that I want to pull up on everything. Once I get on my feet, its kind of scary up here though. I don't know how to sit down so I just cry until Mommy comes and gets me. Its okay though. I like to keep her on her toes.

Anyway, I'm off to watch my sissy play soccer. See you in a month!

XOXO,
Adalyn
