Soccer and Birthdays

This fall Allie is playing soccer. Justin is her coach and she has 3 of her little girl friends on the team too. She has done a great job so far! There is definately more contact with the ball in soccer than in T-ball so maybe she will stay focused and actually play!! She has already tackled a few boys and another time she just layed on the ball so nobody could get it! Justin probably needs to go over the rules of the game with her again!

she is not timid about going after the ball

After practice we did go out and purchase some soccer shoes, shorts and PINK shin socks. We are ready now! Go Cheetahs!

This just happened to be Justin's birthday. We started the day with our first soccer practice and then headed to the zoo so Justin could see the new orangetans and komodo dragon. Allie and I go there all the time but Justin hadn't been there in over a year so there was lots for him to see. We went home to have some icecream cake from Baskin Robbins, YUMMY!!!! It was wonderful especially since we were hot from our zoo visit. Our theme: Mickey Mouse (since we are headed to Disney). After a nap we headed to On The Border for birthday dinner. Even though it was Justin's birthday Allie and I enjoyed all the treats too! Happy Birthday Justin/Daddy! We enjoyed spending the day with you!

Ok, it was an extremely hot day and the icecream cake melted on the way home from Baskin Robbins. It didn't affect the taste though!
