Soccer... First Game...

Molly:

Last year Molly had a not so great year with soccer she injured her leg the week before it started and cried almost every game. This year I asked her lots if she wanted to play she kept telling me yes. She is a bit boy crazy so when they told me it was girls only on the team I was relieved and thought she would do better that way. She has done ok I don't think she will be a soccer star at least this year, but she is grinning from ear to ear the entire time she is out there. They don't have goalie, but when her coach told her to get the ball to the goal she just ran there and stood in front of it. She was pretty proud of her job and I can't wait to see how much she grows in the sport this season since she is just so happy to be there. She would bounce her pig tails and twirl them around and chit chat with her friends on the field, but she was still out there and happy so I would consider that a success... You go Molly J.

Maggie:

The first picture is at her first practice her coach was calling her "The Green Machine" cuz she was the only one really playing and did it so well and could dribble the ball down the field like a pro- That stayed at practice though because once she hit the field she was clueless strutting down the field like she was on a fashion run way popping her hips and prancing around. A girl kicked the ball right to her, she ran for it and then right when her toe would have kicked the ball she turned and ran the other way.When I told her to tell Clint how she did at her game she said "I just ran and picked my nose" (which was pretty accurate too) She was pretty girly out there. Maybe she will make a better ballerina than a soccer player, but once again she was having a blast and in her mind she made lots of goals and ran like super fast in her new tennis shoes. Once again, I can't wait to see how much better she gets as the season goes on.. Go Magster!!

Butterfly Nets...

 Now that it is finally warm the butterflies are starting to flutter around the yard. The girls try to chase them and catch them, but they insisted they needed butterfly nets to help them out- this particular day was rather chilly but the girls had been asking daily to go to the dollar store to buy a butterfly net for each of them. They were so so excited they had to try them out right when we got home. It was too cold for butterflies, but they insisted on practicing so they would be ready when they saw one in the sunshine. Best 2$ ever spent- this kept them entertained and happy forever and I hope they get to really catch a butterfly or something to make their little hearts satisfied! 

St. Patrick's Day Parade...

We try to go to the St. Patrick's Day parade every year up in Springdale. We always go to Grandpa's restaurant "The Flying Monkey" after the parade. It is one of our favorite traditions and usually Clint has to work so it is usually just us and Grandma Kara. I had mentioned it to Becky and the kids the day before about it  and that morning they decided to tag along and it couldn't have been more fun. Molly and Maggie were in heaven with their buddies to play with and we had a blast! We are going to continue to try and go every year- it is one of the funnest parades and the people watching isn't too bad either. We had a blast and the girls can't stop talking about it.

Sprinklers...

Spring Break was the second week of March and we could not have asked for better weather in the upper 70's and low 80's we couldn't pass up the opportunity to bust out the swim suits and turn on the sprinklers and play the afternoon away in the water. The girls were in heaven and I can not believe Molly's bravery in just the sprinklers this year- no fear and loved it more than ever. Maggie was herself and crazy, and singing Tangled songs while running around in her swim suit and through the sprinklers. I cant wait to get them out at the splash pads and pools in the coming weeks and summer. They are going to love it!!!

 They are also obsessed with bugs they like to watch them, but they found a lady bug and were enthralled with it until if flew away. Now they are obsessively looking for another one.
