First Soccer Game

Kaitlyn had her first soccer game on Saturday. Her team, Team Spain, has a great group of girls on it. They tried hard, but lost a close game 5-4. The twins had fun running around the field during the game...I forgot to take any pictures there! (Notice Kaitlyn's glasses in the first picture? They are just her play glasses from Claire's....she is slightly obsessed with them right now and wears them all the time at home! )

Kaitlyn's First Day of 2nd Grade

Kaitlyn was sooooo excited to start school again! She picked out her outfit the day before, and was quite ready to go to bed Sunday evening. I got up at 5:30 Monday morning to exercise before the girls got up....fat chance! Lauren wandered into the game room at 5:45...and got sent back to bed, Kaitlyn came in at 5:56...and got sent back to her room to read, and Emma trotted in at 6:03....and got sent back to bed. When I finished exercising and went in Kaitlyn's room, she had picked out coordinating rings, bracelets, and hair bows to go with her outfit. She was completely ready for school by 7:15! (And the bus comes at 8:15.) So after lots of pictures, we went off to the bus stop by 8:05.....to wait in the heat! I am so thankful that she is so excited and hope her first day goes well!














Headed out the door...the twins wanted to wear their backpacks too!





And she's off!

Yogi's Water Park

We went to Yogi's Jellystone RV Park in Waller, just 25 minutes away. We just went to use the water park for the day, and the girls had a blast! We went with Denise & Kristen, and Shelly, Kendyl, & Kamryn. Kaitlyn went in with no hesitation, it took Lauren just 5 minutes to warm up to it all, and Emma took almost 1 1/2 hours before she decided it was a fun place to be! (Good thing we stayed for 6 1/2 hours!) We are already planning on going back again, the girls can't wait as Daddy will come with us this time!

Lauren dove right in after just 5 minutes


Emma hung out on the sidelines for almost 1 1/2 hours.....too much going on for her to feel comfortable jumping right in!


Kaitlyn dove right it, no hesitation!

The HUGE 75+ stair climb up to this slide was not so fun, but oh, so worth it!
