Soccer Star

He is so cute to watch! Great Job Ryder!

Soccer

Another season of soccer is upon us! Nelson was volunteered (not saying by who) to be the coach again...hard to pass up free registration for coaching.....and we were assigned ORANGE again! :) While wishing for another color shirt to add to the collection, we have started another season with little tikes. And these guys are little....it is preschool age, and now Ryder is one of the veterans. :) It is so funny to see soccer at this age. The first game a couple of weeks ago, we found all but a few standing around not sure what to do. :) Let's just say keeping score would have been a downer for us. :) Now a few weeks later, they are getting the idea and at least chasing the ball. Today they even scored a few, including Ryder! :)

 

 

That's my little orange guy down there by himself. :) He is super funny! When the other team heads for our goal, he is the first to run down and jump in and play goalie...even when he passed the ball to get there. :) He is such a boy and a great little athlete. It is fun to see him be such a great team player and love sports. So Let's Orange...At least we can be the proper color during the proper season! :)

 



 

Quick Learner!

Ryder learned to ride his bike today after maybe two tries! He got it fast and loves it! What a smart boy! :)

Baptism Day!

Today is the Day!

We were so excited, and Mia has been waiting for so long to be baptized! It was a great day! We had her baptism, then an ice cream sundae social, then lunch at the Olive Garden! It was all delicious!

 

After the baptism, we went to the Cohoes Falls and took pictures, then home for more jumping! :)

 

 

 

Friday Fun!

Today we spent time at the girls' gymnastics. All the grandparents came to watch Jayda and Sienna at their team practice. And they all monkeyed around....

Then Grandpa Martinez was talked into an early Christmas present....so this is what the kids got for Christmas! :) .....

Happy 8th Birthday Mia!

Today Mia turns 8! We had lunch, played games (hula contest/ limbo), welcomed Auntie Angie, Grandpa Martinez and Laura, opened presents, and had cake and ice cream! It was such a fun party!See for yourself!

 

 

Happiest 8th Birthday Mia! You get almost a whole week of celebration! :) We love you!
