Soccer Balls, Baseballs, & Tutu's

We have had a very busy few months. Kyle just finished up his first soccer season and fell in love with the sport. He is so athletic. It seems that if a coach teaches him how to do something then he excels in it. He had so much fun playing soccer and was able to sack some of the balls in the goal. He had a great team that worked together and a great coach to teach him the game. –Well, at least as much of the game that you can teach seven year olds. They still run like a swarm of bees-

At the end of soccer he had his Babe Ruth Baseball start. -I know, he was way over scheduled, but before you go any further you should know that my kids had all of April off of school, so he was ok- His coach for this team (L.A. Dodgers) was great with him. A former college player himself he had skills to teach these boys. Kyle is on the younger side of his team, but is doing extremely well at holding his own. They saw him throwing pitches to Robert on the side of a game and decided that the next game he would pitch and he did a great job for his first time ever pitching. Outfield bores him we found out, but anything with the “action” around it is all good for him. Next season I think we will have him choose just one. This running all over the place whore me down!

Anne just finished up her year of Ballet. She did a great job. She was in the Dance Academy here in Star with Miss Amber as her teacher. She was great with Anne. Anne knows all her positions in ballet and learned the dances very fast. She is a natural! –I know, I am a little partial, but she really is good for a five year old- This girl is SOO not shy! She is her daddy’s daughter when it comes to being a show boat. It is great to see her up in front of tons of people and thrive in it. Next year we are putting both Toria and Anne in dance. Toria was very upset every Monday that Anne got to leave the car for dance and she had to stay put.

2 who want to talk about it:

Oh I love all the pictures. It made me miss you guys. Anna looks so different- so much older- maybe it is her bangs pulled back- or are they grown out? My girls would love dance. So cute! Kyle seems like he would be a natural at sports.

Jaren did tball last year (he WAS only 4 though) and didn't care for it. I told him this spring he could do soccer, tball, both or neither. He chose to do just soccer and liked it. I am glad he didn't choose both! I would have died running here, there and EVERYWHERE. You are Wonder Woman! :)
