I only took 293 pictures....

This photo was taken by photographer McKenzie



...at the soccer field today! McKenzie had my camera for part of Alexandra's game and she took about 53 pictures. If you do the math.....that is a lot of pictures!!

Alexandra getting ready to score her goal!

She is so fast!

Alexandra's game was at 9:15 this morning. She played Lakeside (they are ranked #1) and they did an AWESOME job! The final score was 4 to 6 (we did not win) but the coaches told the girls to not count this as a loss, because they played hard and they played very well! Alexandra got 1 of the goals and assisted in at least one other one. She is such a fabulous player. I love to watch her zip around the field. One second she is in front of you, the next second she is across the field. It makes getting pictures a little hard with her zipping around everywhere :)




This was a fun shot! She was laying on the grass playing with the ball, so I started snapping pictures. Then we decided to put the ball on her feet. Cute!


McKenzie had a 12:30 game. They got to play the pumpkin team :) They played Blaine, but their colors were black and orange and they looked like pumpkins! McKenzie is FAST!! I don't remember her score but I am pretty sure they won. I think it was 5 to 4?? I know she got a couple of goals. I love the determination on McKenzie's face when she is going after the ball. Nothin' and nobody better get in HER way!




The other team seemed to be a bit taller than our team. There were a couple of girls on their team that we wondered how old they really were.
McKenzie scoring her goal!! It really did go in!


When McKenzie saw Alexandra doing it, we thought we would give it a try. Too Cute!


Alyssa had her first color guard competition in Silverdale today. She just called me with the update. They didn't do very well in the prelims. In the finals, the got 2nd in AA!! Yeah team! She was pretty excited! I was too! I am planning on going to the finals in Auburn in November and I don't want to travel that long for a non winning team. And since the Ferndale football team is not doing very well (we lost 31 to 0 last night to Lynden!) we need a winning band/guard team!



Ignore the creative mess under the curtains please!

In other random news....I have new curtains! They were a pain in the patootie to put up, but they look so grown up. I can't wait for next month when I will try to get the curtains for the big window! (PS mom, I might need a helping hand with the hemming up of the too long part :) you will need to come over for a peek!) This is not the best picture, but they are beautiful!

Have a happy Saturday!

Fall soccer...here we go again!

I love this picture of Alexandra...when she saw it she said, "I LOVE that picture of me, although is does look like I am not wearing a shirt!" She's right....it looks like she is not wearing a shirt! She was though....I have about 200 other pictures to prove it :)

This was such an awesome play! Alexandra is in red on the right. The goalie did a drop kick and the ball went super high in the air...the girls were all watching it ready for it to drop. Alexandra moved up and HEADED the ball!! You should have heard all the OOOHHHH's and AAAAHHHH's. It was pretty cool. At the beginning of the game Lynden scored 4 goals...not good...at half time, they had a pep talk....and they ended up coming back and tying the game 4-4! Way to GOAL girls! I think Alexandra got two goals and Logan got the other two...

Go Alexandra! Beat that stinky Lynden team! :)

I love this picture of McKenzie. She was sitting in my shade, trying to stay cool while she waited for her turn back in the game.

And of course....what is a soccer game without.....AIRPLANES!!! These planes and a couple other ones were flying over the field most of McKenzie's game. I absolutely LOVE how this picture turned out! The beautiful blue sky and the cool planes.....WOW!! I should be a professional :)

Run McKenzie! Score a goal! She didn't actually get a goal today, but she tried!

Today was the first day of Fall soccer....but with temps in the mid 80's it sure felt like summer! The girls were so hot! Alexandra played first with a 9:15 game and then McKenzie had a Jamboree at 2:00. She played three 20min games. Then they match up the teams for the final schedule so they can hopefully play an evenly matched team. It was a hot day, but fun!

While we were at the soccer field for most of the day....Alyssa went fishing! (see previous post for her day. (She even helped write it!))

Off to bed now.....another busy day tomorrow!
