Southside Strikers ~ First Game of Spring Season!

Our first game of the season was a kick!! The boys' skills and knowledge grew exponentially over the winter, and I was thrilled to see them monopolizing the field in a super positive way!

Highlights: Owen scored 6 goals! If he was on the field, he managed to make the ball his and take it down the field with an infectious passion that had every one in giggles and awe! Collin not only reminded his teammates to root each other on and scored for the team, but he also demonstrated tracking skill, never letting a throw in or goal kick get to a free opponent!

Silly Kate ~ 21 & 22 Months












Happy 32nd Birthday to Me!

Zuanich Point Park ~ February 20, 2010
Jen, Owen, Katelyn, Kevin and Collin
Kate spent an hour riding the path and truly mastered her skills on the flat pavement!


Owen and Collin showed off, practiced wheelies, and enjoyed the sunshine!




We stopped for a light snack of trail mix: Cheerios, raisins, and mini-marshmallows. Kate picked out the raisins. Owen picked out the marshmallows (at least first, but he ate it all). Collin made mini s'mores, stacking a raisin and mini-mallow between two Cheerios!






I was Queen for a Day (though truly, I feel like it most every day), and it was a WONDERFUL DAY!!

Pacific Center Fountain & Children's Museum

How close can Grandpa get?
without getting wet!?!


Inside the Children's Museum construction zone, the kids and Grandma and Grandpa J work to build a structure!
But before long, we were on to music lessons ...
... and pretend rides in a buggy.
But we did stop at a local (pretend) market to grab a picnic lunch!
