Poser.

Apparently I am not allowed to bring my camera to Presley's soccer games. She cannot stop posing and looking for the camera while she is in the game. Here are some of the only "non-posing" shots of her.



Not that it will help. I didn't bring the camera to the latest game and she still couldn't stop looking at all of us cheering for her on the sidelines. At least she is running around and having fun.

Best part about soccer, "The snacks!". Sounds a lot like Presley's favorite part of skiing.

Soccer Girl.

Presley's first soccer game was a hit--or at least 30 minutes of comic relief for the adults watching. It was hilarious! But in all seriousness, Presley needs some help with the soccer skills--the only thing I told her was that you can't touch the ball with you hands. She has a LONG way to go, but it is going to be fun watching her try her hardest.







I put Presley in pink shorts so we could spot her more easily among the sea of black and yellow jerseys. No one told me she needs socks to cover up her shin guards--I guess I am in need of a few soccer lessons myself.

There are 2 girls and 4 boys on her team (Ice Strikers is the name they came up with). They play 3-on-3 for two, 10 minute halves. No goalies. We are bringing treats for the Saturday game. Presley's games are Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings--if you are interested I can give you times.

A Look at the Leaves.

Once again it is fall in our backyard! The colors are so beautiful this year.






The girls have been collecting bouquets of leaves and pretty soon our garage will be full of red and orange piles--I had better find a fun craft to do with them. The Maples are nearly all red, the oaks are starting to turn along with the cottonwoods. Last will be the aspens--I am sure they will be a bright yellow in a matter of weeks.

School time.

Presley started her second year of preschool this morning! She handled it like a pro--considering she is at a new preschool (Sunshine Circle) and only knows one of the girls in her class. Stella had a harder time leaving Presley at school--she misses her sister and truly does not know life without her.




I can't believe how grown up my girls are, even though they are still my babies. Next year it will be Stella to preschool and Presley to kindergarten--I may not be prepared, but I hope I can prepare them.
