Soccer Highlights and Grand Finale

Ellison determination on her face and Coach Dawn looking on for a swell goal kick by the Princess.

Sweet Jacilyn, RJ's little sister, a good sport at every game this season.

Alyssa in her usual "falling back" position, friend Bailey in right foreground.

Actually kicking the ball!

Drew in the background with the bench - an Assistant Coach needs both arms and both legs!

The boys watching the ball, Alyssa watching the boys, hmmm! Neighbor friends - Aiden and Cooper.

Look at that smile, I think she likes this soccer stuff!

Alyssa's first trophy - she is so proud!

Trophy clad Eagles - Kaden, Darren, Christopher, Alyssa and RJ - Way to go!

Dad and daughter, "Coach" mug and trophy - what a great soccer season!

Happy Anniversary!

Wow - who are those young looking people - ha!?!? "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times . . ." thanks for always keeping it interesting, who knew back then we loved Roller Coasters so much! Oh well, thanks for the past SEVEN years - I love you 1 million!

A Day at the Park

The County Park spent Winter renovating it's playground - the results are wonderful! We took our first of many trips this Summer there last Saturday.

We even had a surprise visit with the Clum Family (to the right under Favorite Websites) - Abigail and Alyssa are only five weeks apart. Alyssa and Abigial had a great time playing together, here they are on a snack break.

Next it was on to Spray and Play - it is great fun to sit on a sprinkler!

Alyssa and a new friend tried to stop the water with his hat . . .

Oops - right in the eye!

OK, time to towel off and go home! A great time was had by all, we'll be back soon!

Appreciation

The last two weeks of school were so nice! We had Teacher Appreciation week which was wonderful and then the last week of school we all received so many nice gifts from our precious students.

These are my fellow teachers enjoying an Appreciation lunch given by the parents. It included home-made Key Lime pie - delicious!

These are just some of the flowers I received from Mother's Day, Teacher Appreciation Week and the last few days of school. Flower givers included: Drew, John Lewis, Owen, Mia, Jennifer and Laurel. I wanted to capture them on film so I could keep them forever!

Nice photos, compliments of Drew :)



My favorite photo - Thanks, God, for appreciating me with these wonderful gifts, especially the one in the middle!

Playdate with Piper

After four years of talk about getting our girls together, we finally took the plunge and had Piper over for a playdate on Saturday. Here are two silly girls in their "boosts."

Playing in the sunroom . . .

Alyssa even let Piper play with her sacred "main blankies."

Enjoying a fine dinner at their favorite restaurant - Chic-fil-A.

Nothing better than a best friend and a balloon!

Alyssa clowning around with fake teeth. The girls had a great visit, get ready Hali - you're next! And then we will go for all Three Amigas!

Circus

Alyssa's school put on their version of the "Greatest Show on Earth" Friday afternoon.

So, send in the Clowns . . .

The Stunt Men - tumbling, tight rope walking and walking on stilts


Ms. Elsa and her "Divas"- Alyssa is last one on the right

The young preschool and older preschool classes who showed us how much fun it can be to be in the circus!
