Indoor Soccer Season is Over

Alyssa's school held their "Academy Awards" night on Friday. We are so proud of her for earning 3 medals at awards night. She received medals for earning Academic Excellence, Principal's Award and Christian Leadership all 4 quarters this school year. She had a wonderful year in 1st grade. She is the only kid I know who is sad that summer is coming. She may be sad, but the parents are ready for a summer break!

Proudly showing her 3 medals! Way to go, baby!

Saturday was the last game of the season for the Orange Champions. They only lost one game the entire season. It was great to see how much Alyssa learned and improved playing with this team. It was definitely an adjustment for her playing with boys, older kids and a goalie, but in the end, it was a valuable learning experience. Her coach was truly wonderful! We initially signed Alyssa up to keep her busy and active. We weren't expecting her to learn so much. The coach payed her a wonderful compliment by asking her to return to his team next year. We are so proud...and she is so excited because she had so much fun and did I mention, loves the coaches son. And so it begins.... :)

Great kick!

We enjoyed a family lunch date at Pizza Port in OB on Sunday. Yummy food and good friends, what a great Sunday afternoon. To top it off the kids enjoyed an impromptu walk to the beach to look for seashells. What a great way to end the weekend!

Look how excited the kids are! Running to the beach to search for seashells

You didn't actually think Jake was going to sit in the sand? He sat on the walkway by the sand and wouldn't even let me take his shoes off.
