Fall Soccer

Bailey was excited to start soccer again this fall. We have been playing for the last few weekends and Bailey has seemed to improve since last season! She is a lot more aggressive this season! She has already scored a few goals and is just having a blast! I just love that Bailey is involved in so many activities and that I get to watch her learn all these new things. 

I'm pretty proud of the cute polka dot socks that I found on the internet! They are super cute!

It rained the first game of the season! :(

Gymnastics....

Bailey has started her third year in gymnastics again this fall. This year we started at a new gym and so far it has worked out really well. She is learning alot of new things and think by the end of the year she is going to be able to do many new tricks! :) 

She loves this green leotard! She chooses to wear it every week!!!!

First week down.....

Bailey was very excited to ride the bus for the first time. Abby is the one that gets Bailey ready in the mornings and puts her on the bus.... so I Thank her very much for that. The bus stops right in front of our house... which is going to be very nice once it gets colder. It is Baileys choice to ride the bus....so she rides the bus to school every morning and then she only rides it home on Mondays and Wednesdays....Abby picks her up all the other days. I think that she would like to ride the bus all the time but we just hate for her to have to spend all that extra time on the bus after school. 

The rest of the first week of school was great. She claims that she has made friends, although she cannot tell us any of their names! :) She made Clay in art, learned new songs already in music, visited the library and enjoys going to P.E. She seems to be eating the lunch that I am packing her.....lunch was one of my concerns since she is such a picky eater but it seems to be going good. She did tell us that she fell asleep during rest time twice last week...poor girl was worn out! So thats a little run down of her first week.....very very exciting!

Waiting for the school bus!

First day of Kindergarten

This morning was the first day of Kindergarten! Everything went great. She is very excited for school. I think that she didn't really understand that her friends from Pre- K would be there also, just in a different class. Her teachers name is Mrs. Nichols and I have only heard wonderful things from everyone about her. She has been a kindergarten teacher for 23 years at Platte County so she definitely knows what she is doing! Although I was a little sad when I left her there today, I am very excited about the new experiences this journey is going to bring us! 

Parent-Child Golf tournament

This weekend was the Parent-Child Golf tournament to end the summer Jr golf program. Bailey and I had a great time! I am so glad that Bailey was able to do Jr golf this year. At first we thought she may be a little too young...but turns out she was GREAT! I had such a fun time taking her and Riley to play every Wednesday morning and to see how much she improved throughout the summer. She loved to go out in the backyard and hit golf balls whenever she could and she is always asking me if we can go out and play golf! I'm so excited to see how this love of the game grows as she gets older....who knows maybe she might follow in her mothers footsteps! 

5 year old Missy!

This was Baileys last year to be in the Missy/Master at the Platte County Fair. She has done it every summer since she was 2. This year Bailey was the 5 year old Missy! We were all so excited when they called her name! She thought it was so neat that she got to wear the sash around and she also go a trophy.

All the winners

After the contest we went out to ride all the rides. Even though it was pretty hot out we still had a great time. 

4th of July weekend

Over the fourth we went on a little trip to Arkansas. My mothers family was in Hot Springs as Abby and I were growing up and we would take trips there all the time. They have now passed and my mother likes to get back there sometimes to take care of their graves and visit old places from her childhood.
