Faces of angels

E I E I Oops

This year Savannah was chosen for one of the staring roles for the first grade play. The play was a comedy about Old MacDonald and the Farmer and the dell and how they couldn't get the cow to Moo. The script was funny and the costumes were so cute. I did help put the costumes together again this year. We get reserved first row seating when I help out...perks. Savannah played the role of Mrs. Dell. She had four lines and did an awesome job. She also had a dancing part that was super cute. For her speaking part she was loud and had a lot of expression and smiles. I was nervous that she would be nervous and forget her lines but she wasn't a bit nervous and had a blast. We are so proud of her and the hard work she put into it. They were able to perform the play twice, once for the other grades at school and then that night for the parents. Each time she did and even better job. She was sad that the show didn't go on and couldn't keep performing.

"...on his farm he had a cow e i e i oops"

Maybe the sheep can help us out with this bovine disaster..."Lets go give them all a shout we'll find them in the pasture"

Girl Scouts Bridging Ceremony

This past year Savannah has been in a Girl scout Daisy troop. They started mid year and have had a lot of fun. They took a trip to the Aquarium, worked on a smoking cessation campaign that has been posted on You tube, learned about nature and taking care of the earth. Now that the year is over the girls will move on to be Brownies. The troop had a cute bridging ceremony at the adventure park bridge. As the girls cross over the bridge they meet the troop leader and replace their daisy vest with the brownie vest and are pinned brownies. Afterward there were snacks and the girls were given the patches and awards they have earned throughout the year.

Snakes Soccer Games 2011

#7 Luke and #2 Lily's team the Snakes played a fun season. The uniforms where so cute orange for home and white for away except, that they played on the same field every week. Lily liked to play defense. Some games were so hot and I don't think she liked running around sweaty. Luke really enjoyed playing offense. He loved to run the ball down the field and score goals. He really had a lot of fun this season.

Kick-off

Lily the goalie. I see she may have liked defending the goal because there was a bit of shade over the goal.

Luke #7 and our neighbor friend Andy on the other team playing to get the ball.

High five after Luke scored a goal.

Half time.

Lily yawning....are we done yet? wait we just started.

The Upward program has devotions every game and practice. They are given scripture cards each week to study.

Coach Jeff giving them their Upward awards at the end of the game. Some are for sportsman ship, defensive and offensive player etc.
Another of Lily's favorites was lining up to give the other team hand shakes.
