Owen's first soccer game

Owen played in his first soccer game on September 8th. His team is called "Small Fries" and he played the "Minions". Temps were in the high 90s, but it certainly felt as though it was over 100F!!! The kids play for 40 minutes. Our team had eight players that day, and it is 4-on-4, so they got some breaks. The coaches quickly figured out that they neglected to teach the kids at practice what the whistle meant and where to stand when the other team had to throw the ball in. All good things to work on at the next practice (Wednesday nights!).

The league does not keep score....but our coaches do! We won the first game 7-2 and the second 9-0. Way to go SMALL FRIES!!!!

Avery's first haircut - 9/8/13

We took Avery to get her first haircut on September 8th! Her bangs were getting so long that she was consistently brushing them out of her face and eyes. It was sad to see some of her blond curls get chopped off...but it looks so much healthier now!

She liked smiling at herself in the mirror

After she got her bangs cut, she said "I'm done" and tried everything possible to get the cape off. No such luck. She sat still enough for the barber to cut the back and with the promise that she would get a lollipop!!!

Owen turns 4!!!

This is another "better late than never" post. Owen turned four in July! We combined two of his favorite things for his party. Batman and Bounce Houses! We went to a new bounce house place in Frisco called "Jump Zone". There were 20 friends there and we all had a great time playing!
