The girls have so much going on right now. It's all good stuff, but it certainly keeps me busy. With each one at a different school and their sporting events, I spend a lot of time in the car after the 3:00 hour. It was so nice to have a couple of extra days last weekend. We spent some time doing some yard work and cleaning out the garage on Saturday. On Monday we took the girls to the zoo. We had heard that there were new baby leopards, but couldn't find them and it was so crowded. Sierra and Ashtyn love to feed the lorakeets, and that exhibit was closed. We spent most of our time playing on the playground and left when it got too busy.

Mackenzie decided to run cross country for her middle school. She has done a good job and improved on her time each week.

And soccer season has officially started! Lauren isn't able to play in the rec league because she is on the high school team. She will spend the season reffing and making money for a new ipod. Mackenzie, Ashtyn, and Sierra are all playing and Mark is coaching Mackenzie and Sierra. Here are some pictures from the first day of games. I am pretty excited about our teams' colors for this year! Mackenzie's team won't start playing until the 26th.

Ashtyn's team has a few really good players, and Ash is improving too. She has a lot of friends from school on her team and it's a really fun group of girls and parents.

Sierra was the real surprise of the day. She had an early morning game and I didn't think she would play. There was an issue with the uniform....she didn't want to wear it! She cried for a good long time about it and is so stubborn, but finally decided to give it a try. She did really well (for a 4-year-old) and had a good time.
Yesterday we had our primary program. It was Mackenzie's last, and I think she is really ready to move on. Just a couple of months to go! They did their parts really well and sang all of the songs. From what I hear, Sierra was quite entertaining down in front! I was sitting with my class behind her and missed it!
