Sunny Days

I kept the kids busy with lots of time outside today.  The weather was absolutely perfect, so we spent most of the day outside.

going for a morning bike ride

 Cooper loves to blow dandelions

 and he took time to smell the flowers

ALL the flowers

 around the ENTIRE neighborhood

 a 30 minute walk took almost an hour

 we played soccer

 played in the sandbox

 and, mowed the grass

 putting the lawnmower up beside daddy's

 when Reagan got home from school, we headed back outside

 and rode scooters

 Cooper has become the "cat whisperer" since visiting Mamaw & Papaw's house

 taking in the view from daddy's truck

 Later this evening, Reagan had another soccer game

 I love to watch her ponytail swing!

 getting in on the action

 oh no!  the other team scored

 let's go Blaze

 Go Reagan!

 It was a hard played game by both sides ~ the final score was tied 2-2!!

Go Blaze Go!

After a few weeks of practice, Reagan's soccer team had their first game of the season tonight!  Although they don't keep score (not officially, but the kids all know the score of the game!), the Blaze would have won 6-0!!!

 going for the goal

 she scored!

 playing defense

 they can't believe they scored again!

 trying to score again

 sitting out her quarter

 so sweet

 she's absolutely gorgeous!

 congratulating the other team on a game well-played

And So It Begins...

T ball practice began tonight for Cooper.  He has the same coach from last year and a few of the same players on his team.  I know I'm his mom, but he really is the best little player on the team!

 catching practice

 batting practice ~ Coach Cody was giving him tips to hit the ball, and Cooper said, "no, no, no, my dad says to do it like this" and proceeded to hit the ball pretty far.  Coach Cody said, "well listen to your dad, it seems to work pretty well for you!"

 Greg called on his way home from work to check on how practice was going

 thumbs up

Headed Home

We left Mamaw & Papaw's house this morning to head back home.  But, since we were going to pass Gigi & Bubba's exit anyway, we called to see if they would like to meet us for lunch.

Cooper ordering for Bubba

 Ginger met us for lunch too!

 me, Reagan & Gigi

 the sign of a good trip

We had a great time visiting with everyone and can't wait to do it again soon ~ But we were so glad to see Daddy!
