Spring Soccer: Game #2 vs Chameleons

The last game we all came home with sunburns. This week we were greeted by rain and wind. Ryder's game was cancelled it was too cold of the little guys. Reganne's game started right on time with only sprinkles. The girls were eager to get started and play. Play is what they did all their hard work at practices is really starting to pay off and they were off with a bang.

The rain started but the girls continued and did a great job. I am not sure how many goals were scored, but the team work was great.

Time for a quick team cheer, treats, and run for your cars here comes the rain.

Just as we all got into the car the rain came and continued all night.

Great To Be Eight

The start of the new year meant for Reganne the start of her baptismal year. Last Sunday night our ward had the annual Great To Be Eight Program. Many wards have discontinued this activity, but I am glad our ward hasn't. All the kids turning eight this year are invited to a special program to discuss what will happen when their birthday comes and that special day. They talk about the Bishop's Interview, Clothing, dressing rooms, and finally the font.

The room was full of energy with 20 kids and parents attending. You could have heard a pin drop when the opened the doors to the font for everyone to see. The stake couple asked if they had any questions the room was silent.

They sent home special reminders for the kids with their date on it. Reganne's special day will be November 10th.

We are all excited for her and can't wait until then to share with everyone. So please make your calendars now for a trip to St. George.

Fall Season Game 8: Pink & Purple Pirates

Finale game of the season dawned cold and windy. So cold that the girls all dressed in layers. They were ready to play and eagerly took the field. The Purple Pirates only had three players show up so Pink Pirates gave one player to them and played four on four.

Let's play

Score a goal!

That wasn't supposed to happen.

My tooth is wiggly!!

Season ending cheer!!! Let's go get warm.

The girls signing the coaches gift. The pen froze up before they could finish.

Reganne scored her first goal of the season, but she quickly reported that it was for the other team so it didn't count. We told her a goal was a goal and it was great.

It was a great season we will see everyone in the spring.

Reganne 7th Birthday Party

Birthday Celebrations started Sunday afternoon with a Friends BBQ and Birthday Cake. Don't forget the Birthday Cake. It is so hard to fit in all the activities in one day with everyone's crazy schedules so it will take 3 days to complete all the activities.

Birthday Card from Grandma JeanAnn & Grandpa Chris.. I will try to read it. Instead money fell out and the card was soon forgot.

Wheeler & DeMacedo's waiting for presents.


A piece of paper is all Mom & Dad gave me.
That is not a present!!
We are taking her to Anti-Gravity Tuesday for her birthday.


Blow out the candles and make a wish!!

2011 Fall Soccer #3: The Chameleons

We had the first game of the morning so everyone was fresh and ready to go. This week they played the Silver Chameleons on Field # 9. One problem with the first game is that everyone is slow to arrive which makes the game start late. Our girls were ready to go.

They are off

Working hard

Who has the ball?

We do

Defense

Half Time pep talk

Which goal is ours?

2nd Half and on the run again.

Team Cheer!!! Go Chameleons!!

This week the teams were evenly matched. I believe we scored two goals and they had.

Reganne played 3 quarters and had to sit out the 4th quarter which she wasn't happy about. Each child must sit out one quarter. The coach decided Reganne would be best at during the first of the game and tired at the end. She surprised everyone by wanting to continue. She had some really great blocks and kicks playing defense. However, she was disappointed that she didn't score a goal this week. I reminded her that she stop 2 goals and that was just as important and as hard to do as scoring. I am not sure she believed me, but she smiled and gave me a hug.

Again we left the field with smiles all around.

Soccer Week #2

Week two was all about defense. The teams were evenly matched so only 3 goals were scored. Reganne scrambled and blocked a goal by slide kicking it out of the way.

Kick Off

Defense

Reganne had a lot of fun. The girls all get along and hug each other goodbye. Later in the day we were shopping at Walmart. A little girl from the other team ran upto Reganne and gave her a big hug. She told h er mom that this was her soccer friend.

I want to be a haircutter.

These words should have been a warning to me. Instead I told Reganne that sounded great. We thought we were safe with the haircutting thing. We have talked and talked about not cutting your hair. Only Shauna can cut your hair.

Reganne has had a teacher at daycare fix her hair for kindergarten. It looks so cute but is full of small elastics and various little pony tails. On Friday, Dave got home before me and told the girls he would take them to the splash pad before dinner. They rushed to get their suits on. Reganne loves her hair down in the water. She is a big girl and can do it by herself.

She came to a small ponytail that she knew would hurt coming out. So she went and got Dad's small mustache scissors and cut the pony tail out instead of the elastic.

The ponytail, found in the garbage can.

I got home shortly afterwards and she ran to give me a hug. She promptly showed me that she took her hair out all by herself. That is when I really looked and noticed that on top of her head the hair was standing straight up and was only about 1/2 inch long. I let out a scream. WHAT DID YOU DO!!! She promptly told me and started to cry. Dad started to yell and rounded up all the scissors and took them away.

Dad was mad, Reganne was sad, and I finally told them both that it was only hair and would grow back. Her punishment is she can't grow out her bangs until it grows out enought to blend in. No more wearing it down. It is family haircut night on Monday and hopefully something more can be done.

If not it will grow and it is only hair.

Finally .... First Day of Kindergarten

This day finally arrived. Reganne has been waiting so patiently for Kindergarten to start. Wednesday morning arrived and she was ready. She woke up early, got dressed, ate breakfast, and got her backpack. She was all set. However, she is in afternoon kindergarten.

I am ready ... Let's get going !!!

I picked her up early from daycare with plans of spending a little time with her before school. Then taking our time on the first day. She promptly told me that if I had time to run home before school. I should not have picked her up so early and I could take her back.


We arrived at school in plenty of time and of course all the little boys were there already playing. The little girls were all having pictures taken at the front door, with the teacher, and at their desks. Reganne clung to me and asked me to wait. I know a lot of the mothers and started to talk. I turned around and Reganne was playing with another little girl. She then told me I could leave and this was her new best friend.


She was so tired that night, but had a smile on her face. She can't tell you what she learned that day, but she wants to go back. This is a good sign.


The next day when I picked her up. I asked her if she wanted me to go inside with her. No, Mom I can walk in by myself. Mom, are you sad that I don't want you to walk me in? I told her no I was proud of her for being a big girl. Are you sure your not sad? No, Reganne just give me a kiss and a smile.


We pulled up in front of the school. She grabbed her pack pack, gave me a kiss, a hug, and jumped out of the car. With a quick wave and smile she was off to her 2nd day of school.

I pulled away with a lump in my throat and a smile.

Reganne and Her Wiggly Tooth

We were sitting in sacrament meeting Reganne wanted to sit on my lap. As she was talking I noticed that her bottom teeth were sitting funny. I reached up and touched it. It was really wiggly. That started it. She had her fingers in her mouth touching and moving it. She showed it to everyone as they passed by her. You would think this was her first loose tooth. It was. She played with it all through primary. She wouldn't eat lunch or dinner because it might fall out.

Reganne & the wiggle tooth

Bedtime came, Dave told her to leave it alone she didn't want to swallow it in her sleep. Great Job Dad!!! She couldn't go to sleep in case it fell out. Lucky for us sleep finally came.

She was up bright and early at 6:30. She came running into the kitchen and I thought for sure she had swallowed it. She yelled TA DA it didn't fall out. She refused to eat breakfast. She couldn't eat it may hurt my tooth.

Lunch time arrived and they came and picked me up for our Monday Lunch Date. The first words I was greeted with were. My tooth is out and look at the blood. She proudly showed the kleenex she was using. She had Dave check her tooth as they were getting ready to leave. He grabbed it, gave a little twist, it popped, she jumped, and it was out.

Reganne & Her Tooth

What a small tooth.

When Rylee got home from school the fun really began. It was time to get ready for the tooth fairy. She was so worried that she wouldn't come. Rylee let her use her tooth holder. Reganne told us that she didn't want the silver money but green dollars instead. Bedtime finally arrived along with one small mishap with the tooth. She lost it in her bed. Her bed was full of toys, blankets, pillows, and whatever else she can find. Dad to the rescue. He found it.

The toothfairy came and brought her the green dollar. Rylee was bummed she never got a green dollar.

One tooth down and how many more to go?

When Is My Birthday?

A new week and another birthday party to attend. Reganne received another birthday invitation and of course she had to go. Gayla was her best friend. Everyone its seems is having a birthday except her. When is my birthday? She asks at least a couple of times a day. My first response is October 4th. Second response 180 sleeps. Third response a long time. Fourth reponse never if you don't quite asking. Luck for us there are two other girls in her class that have birthdays in the same week as hers. They are now planning their birthday parties.

This party was so different than last weeks. It was all girly with face painting, a real live clown that did fun balloon animals, and baby kitties. Reganne loved the clown, broke her balloon, and played with the kittens. She quickly informed me that she wasn't allergic anymore and that she would be fine. Only Daddy & Ryder were allergic. Daddy yes, Ryder the verdict is unknown since he hasn't been around many cats. To bad for Reganne she is still allergic, but hand washing and benodryl takes care of her. The clown also painted their faces with flowers. Reganne refused to wash her face, until bath time. Her allergy didn't kick in as bad because she was so worried about her flower that she wouldn't touch her face.

Reganne, her flower, and balloon (pink of course)

Not much fun stuff this week. The weather is warming up and we broke down and turned on the air conditioning. The past 5 days have been over 95 degrees by 6:00 pm. No breeze only gusts of wind that blows everything around including dust. So with the doors open it looks like I haven't cleaned in at least a month. So we close everything up during the day and open then doors at night to get the fresh air.

Yeah!!! Summer is here or at least for this week.
