Time For Some Soccer!

We are so happy with how much Abby likes soccer!  She loves to dribble, pass, and shoot, but gets a little timid with the chaos when the crowd of 4 year olds collides around the ball.  We're hoping she sticks with it long enough to progress to an age group where there is more structure, i.e. positions, passing, tactics.  We're not there yet...just concentrating on making it fun!

She chose my number from my A&M days...11!!!!

 

Gig 'em!  Yes, I managed to cram my big baby belly in a 20 year old jersey.  And, yes, I still have a 20 yr old jersey.

 

In full uniform, ready for her first game!

 

Showing off her new cleats!  I had no idea pink took over soccer too.

Abby's team, The Sharks, "gettin' their minds right" for the big game!

...and they're off!

Super Star!

Abby graduated to the next level of swim lessons last week!  They make a big deal about tackling all the skills and moving up (make an announcement, ring the bell, award a medal)!  She was so excited and is doing great in the pool.

Abby Turns 4!!!

Feels like a lifetime since our last post.  It's been a whirlwind of packing up all our crap, birthday parties, and getting settled into our new hill country home.  I promise more frequent photos (especially since I'll be unemployed soon!!!!)  Enjoy these for now:

A rare family photo after the parade

Then home to open presents!

Check out my new swimsuit from Aunt Jane!

Waiting for her friends to arrive at her birthday party at Pump It Up...birthday warehouse full of bouncy castles.  Perfect for a 100 degree day in South TX!

Having fun bouncing away!

A shot of the whole group...so many boys.  Abby is the only girl in her class this summer.  We're hoping it will toughen her up a bit.  Can't hurt.

 "Look at me...I'm 4!"

Saying goodbye to our next door neighbors.  Will she ever forgive us for all this moving?

School Pictures!

Here's some good pics of our little sunshine.  She is such a young lady these days.  I promise to be better about posting updates.  We are doing good and LOVING San Antonio.  We hope everyone is doing great!

A-10 Pictures!

We had these family pictures taken before we said good-bye to the A-10 and Tucson.  I'm just now getting them posted for ya'll to see.  Abby was a little scared when we climbed up and got in the engine...notice the double grip on daddy's collar.
