(Did you sing that title? They’re playing bas-ket-ball. We love that bas-ket-ball. Lil Bow Wow. Anyone?) Kyndall just wrapped up another season of basketball. She LOVES playing basketball. And when she plays, she plays hard. She leaves everything she has on the court. I know these girls are only nine and ten, but they played for keeps. Practices were tough. Can I tell you how much I love girl sports? They.. Read More
Kyndall loves soccer. This is her fourth year to play and it just keeps getting better. She is fast. She is aggressive. She plays with passion. All the things that make a great soccer player. She has played with the same coach and most of the same players every year. These kids know how to play. They have learned each others rhythms and moves. They know each others strengths and..

We spent our weekend enjoying homecoming games and soccer tournaments. Libby was voted homecoming attendant by the youth league football team. She got a crown and a sash, so she was super excited. (Libby walks around with an invisible crown on anyways, so she was in Heaven with a real one!) Her friend Ty was her escort. He’s a very tall second grader and Libby is a very tiny first.. Read More
As mentioned in my previous post, Libby has started cheering this year! She loves it, and I love watching her. (I’m not a good “cheer mom” though. I think they are cute, regardless of whether they do the cheers right or not!) Mal is helping coach her squad, which makes cheering even more special for Libby. She walks around the house now, cheering or cartwheeling, or high-V’ing. As if she.. Read More

Hey guys! I’ve been MIA the past few days. I am in the process of purchasing my own domain and all that jazz, and it’s a bit confusing. It’s been taking up all my blog thoughts–I guess I’m a lot more technologically challenged than I thought 🙂 Here’s a look at our week from the camera roll on my phone: Last Friday, K was sick. Went to the doctor and.. Read More
Kyndall had her first soccer game last week. Despite whatever my girl may or may not be, she is FAST. Lightening quick. She’s also pretty aggressive, and coordinated. Soccer is definitely her “thing.” She LOVES it. And so do I. Soccer is non-stop action. I’ve asked Justin to duct-tape my mouth and super glue me to my chair for the next game. I can’t control myself–I just get SO into.. Read More
This is the first year for K to play basketball– and she is LOVING it! They’ve had a few practices and one practice game, but their first season game was yesterday. She did SO good–no goals, but a steal and several good passes. Not bad for a basketball beginner 🙂 Here she is, ready to go: And here she is with her biggest fan (second to me, of course): (Yes,..

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a wrap-up post, and boy do I have a lot to catch up on!! Kyndall is sailing right along in first grade, loving every single second. Libby is treading water in Pre-K… some days are great, some not so much. Shirts have been trucking along full speed, keeping us busier than we ever expected. Soccer is in full swing, but will start wrapping up.. Read More
There once was a girl named Kyndall, And soccer she wanted to play. But each time a practice was scheduled, It would rain or storm all day. Tonight should be the first practice, We’re hoping it doesn’t rain again. So far the day has been nice and dry, And Kyndall has a big ol’ grin!
