William and Mallory's First Soccer Day!
William and Mallory had a BLAST at soccer this past week-end!!! William even scored two goals against his sister! Mallory had the good kick concept, she just kicked it too far and in the wrong direction. William kinda got his goals by chance, but it's all about having fun and the experience! It really was so funny watching 3 year olds trying to get a sports concept. Wait.. I should back up... they did cry when they did a drill of running past the coaches. The coaches were pretending to be bears, and our twins were not fond of someone they didn't know trying to chase them. I know they will be fine next week. Plus, our buddy Logan will be back in town and our team! Yeah!!!!
Soccer Drill Practice Video...
Me Attempting to Video and Cheer on the Twins Video... I didn't do great at all, but this video was so funny to me, that I had to post. It made me laugh and laugh? Was I even looking though the lens? I will try and do better next time... or maybe I'll just let Mike video. ;)
Mallory's First Dance Class!
As you can see in this first picture above, Mallory was super duper excited to go to dance... She kept asking... can we go to dance now?!! Can we go to dance now?!! (Quick side note... can you believe... my Mallory is going to dance just like her Mommy use to... And at the same place! So many emotions!) So back to the caption... once she got there, she was a little unsure what to do without her twin brother and Mommy. Mal Mal is very use to her twin and Kindermusik. We always got to stay with the kids at Kindermusik, so I'm sure it was confusing even though we talked about it.
As you can see in the picture below, she is looking a little worried. There were tears, but she made it through said Miss Lisa. She did stop crying, but didn't do a lot of participating.... Funny because as soon as she got home... she stripped her leotard off, put only her tutu back on with her ballet shoes and asked... When I am going back to dance, Mommy? She then told me she cried, but she stated, she wants to do "more" dancing next time. I'm so very grateful for Miss Lisa, Miss Maddie, and her new best bud, Miss Mikayla! What a wonderful and positive environment for Mallory!
Here below is Mallory's ballet friends... lucky for us we know them both. The little lady on the left is Miss Brooklyn. Brooklyn is Miss Lisa's daughter and Mike and I's Goddaughter. The little lady on your right is my dance teacher, Micki's granddaughter, Miss Jenna! So adorable and cute are they!!!!
As I did when I was the dance teacher with many parents, Miss Lisa shooed me away once the tears started with Miss Mallory... Soooo... William and I had quality time in the car! We are brainstorming all the things we can do together while Mallory's at dance... I do enjoy my one on one time with my kiddos!
We just cherish these times... these smiles... these moments! Here are just a few more pictures from the week-end. Here we are getting ready to go to the Holy Cross Festival. We got to play a few games and do the bounce house. We saw so many people that we know! It was a really great time! We even ran into our daycare buddy, Max! What a busy, but incredible week-end!
We can't forget how we rooted for the Huskers this past Saturday too... Even though we lost, we will always cheer for our Go Big Red team! (Few... I think we might need a week-end from our week-end! Hee-Hee-Hee!)
One last picture... it was also Grandparent's Day this past Sunday... Mallory and William love to read with Mi-Ma! We love Mi-Ma so very much!!! And we love seeing our Mallory and William with their Mi-Ma!
