Last soccer game....

This weekend was the last weekend of soccer for Bailey. I think that she enjoyed playing...we sure did enjoy watching her! She scored a few goals....although they were for the other team...they were still goals! :) We are excited to play again in the Spring....maybe she might get the concept a little more then! I'm just excited that Bailey is old enough to introduce her to all these new things, then see which ones she likes and doesn't like and which ones we are going to stick with in the long run....coming up in the winter we are going to sign her up for Biddy Basketball at the YMCA! Can't wait!

The Black Knights!
Doing some toe touches with the Coach.
My soccer girl!
In the action....she would run alot but not always after the ball!
Her first medal! She was so excited!

School Party....

On Friday Bailey had a Fall Festival at her school. Everyone wore their costumes and the school was filled with games and food in all of the classrooms. It was my first showing of the Minnie Mouse costume that I made for Bailey so it was really nice to hear all the compliments! We got to see some friends there and it was a very good night!





Baileys first cake walk! 
The cake that she picked out after she won!

Bailey and I with MaCallen...we were getting ready to take MaCallen around on the cake walk!

Doing the cake walk....which moments later MaCallen and I won! He let is Daddy then pick out a nice Cookie Cake!
Playing with old friends...
She absolutely loved the spider rings! After she played a game she got to pick out a prize and she would pick out the spider rings every time!

We're going to Disney World........


It is official...The Silcotts are going to "the happiest place on earth"! We have booked a vacation to Disney World in February! We are all so excited for this family vacation, we just can't wait till February! Although vacations and trips were not very good for our family this past year we are definitely  hoping that is going to change in 2010....that means no injuries, sickness, hospitals ect. A few things that we have on the agenda so far are Sea World ,Breakfast with the Princesses at the Magic Kingdom, and spending one day at Coco Beach. We know for sure that we want to go to Magic Kingdom but still have to talk and see about any of the other parks! Another awesome opportunity that has come up is the 2010 promotion for Disney that is "Give a day, get a day at the Park". Starting January 1, 2010 they are going to come out with a list of  volunteer organizations. After doing one day of volunteer work you will be emailed your ticket for FREE admission to a Disney Park! That is going to save so much money for a family of 6...we are just so thankful!!! February can't come fast enough..... :)

Soccer girl!

This weekend was Baileys first soccer game! I got discharged from the hospital just in time to make it to her first game! All I can say is that it was the cutest thing that I have ever seen! There are six or seven kids on a team and the first 30 minutes are spent doing some fundamentals then the last 30 minutes they play a little 3 vs 3 against another team. She had alot of fun and can't wait till next Saturday!
She plays the next 5 saturdays at 10:15 at Tiffany Springs Park if anyone would like to come...we would love to have you!

Gymnast........

Yesterday started our second year of gymnastics! Bailey was so excited to start going again that the second she woke up she put on her leotard and kept asking me if it was time to go yet! This year she will be doing more big girl activities in the gym so we are all really excited to see how she improves! Stay tuned for soccer pics which starts in a couple of weeks!!!

Seems to be our luck.....

Once again Mom, Bailey, Abby and I tried to take a little day trip just to get away. We drove up to Omaha to go to the Zoo and maybe see a Omaha Royals game....we had never been up there and had always heard such great things about it. We got about 1/2 way through when my mother recieved a phone call from my father telling her that he had been in a horse riding accident! We immediatley had to leave the zoo to meet him at a hospital in Lincoln.....it was crazy because he was in Lincoln at a dog trial and we were in Omaha which was only about 45 miles away. He ended up with a broken collar bone and one broken rib, he was kept in the hospital for a couple of days to control his pain and then we all made our trek back home! So needless to say we have had a fill of visiting out of town hospitals unexpectedly! As for the  zoo we hope to return sometime soon to visit the part that we didn't get to see! As for my Dad he is recovering well, he is very upset because this injury will make him miss a few opening hunting days, but I think my mother may be happy that he will be at home more. :) Here are a few pics from the zoo......



I loved the jungle area!!! It was just beautiful and there were just animals everywhere you turned...I thought it was so neat!





I also loved this jellyfish tank that they had.....there were hundreds of jellyfish just floating around and it was in a dark room and it was really cool!

The NE state fair was going on while we were in Lincoln so we left the hospital for a few hours to go to the fair! It was fun, there is nothing better than fair food and bailey loves the animals, got some face painting done and we also took a little ride on the ferris wheel!


My big girl...

Last week Bailey started her first day of Pre-K! She was so excited to go to school! She goes to Spectrum Station in town and she goes three days a week for a half day. So far she has enjoyed it! She does eat lunch there....or at least she is supposed to. We are having a little bit of a hard time getting her to try new things :) but its getting better! It is just so hard to believe that this time next year my baby is going to be in Kindergarten! Ohh how time flies....
