Spring Soccer 2010 - Liberty

What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?

I'm going to be a singer, a princess, and a mermaid.

Soccer Game #4, May 1st

That's Stephanie by the (other team's) Coach.

She loves to run around - just doesn't like

fighting the crowd for the ball.

(Her mother shouldn't have taught her to share!)

It's mostly about the snacks now anyway.

There she is throwing the ball in.

Sorry for the long-distance photos - I was sitting in the bleachers in the "end zone."

Hoarding Update

She is now up to 10 bottles.

And has started on bags and balloons.

Maybe she's only collecting things that start with the Letter B?

Stephanie vs Jalapeno

Daddy to Meredith: "I'll give you a quarter if you eat this jalapeno. You have to chew it up and then swallow it."

(Meredith declined.)

Stephanie: "I want a quarter!"

Daddy: "OK. But you have to chew up this jalapeno and then swallow it."

The child grabbed the jalapeno, chewed it up, and swallowed it without any indication that it was hot or otherwise untasty.

Daddy: "Stephanie, you are AWESOME!"

Second Soccer Game 4-17

Steffi's second game was on Saturday. We had to get there half an hour early for pictures. I left Philip with Hayden and just took the girls.

On the way there the girls were discussing the jungle gym at the park for kids to play on. Monday at Meredith's game, Stephanie made friends there with a little boy named J. So Meredith was teasing her saying, "I'm going to play with J today."

S said, "You'd better not."

M asked, "Why not?"

S said, "Because he's MY boyfriend."

Their teenage years could be really interesting.

Since the girls are in Micro Soccer, they have 1/2 hour of practice first. Then they play a 1/2 hour game. Saves on driving time and scheduling for me! And the girls really have fun.

The other bonus: at bedtime on soccer nights I don't hear a peep out of them!

{Stephanie did get to play with J at Meredith's game on Monday!}

First Soccer Game 4-10

A certain little somebody has been waiting for this day for sooooo long!

Now it's finally her chance to get out on the field and show what she can do.

She listened very well to the coach. She really wanted to get in there and play and do it right.

She did such a good job. She was very focused and determined.

And she had so much fun!

And now she can't wait for her second game!

Big sister got to cheer on the little girl. Nice cowboy hat, huh?

The Lil Dude was kind of perturbed that he wasn't out on the field though.
