Shoes

Jacob had a giftcard to Dick's Sporting goods and we were looking around a sale table.  I couldn't believe it when I saw orange soccer cleats (my favorite color!) in my size.  Now I'm ready for some summer playing and the next season on the field.

Julia loves when we play in the backyard and I pretend I'm her coach.

She likes to be goalie!

Speaking of the backyard, I have had these shoes for two years.  They fell apart and we duct taped them back together.  Daddy found some Crocs my size at Goodwill for $3!!!

But I'm still not ready to throw these away.  Maybe in a few days.  These shoes were so easy to slip on and run outside.  They have been through a lot.

School books



My 3rd grade year has ended. It was a fun grade. At the end of the year I said goodbye to my books.  I am thankful I am homeschooled and I have a great teacher. I get to be with family all day and have all my school stuff right at my spot on my table.

Comets dinner

The Comets had a record of about 1-7 and we won our first playoff game!  But then we lost the second game and the season ended with a dinner.  It was fun seeing everyone one more time and saying goodbye.

My coach, Daddy gets a trophy too for being an awesome coach.

Ellie, why are you wearing Julia's hat?

Running to get the ball.

Playing goalie: "I've got this, oh it's staring to go this way!"

"I got it!  Phew!!!"



Halftime - we're tied 1-1!!

Ellie finds a playmate for the dirt.  We end up losing 4-1.  It was a little sad it was over but I had a lot of fun.

Golf tournament

Our first time playing with just the three of us. It was very fun.

Putting on the first hole. 

Driving my ball.  Can you tell what my favorite color is?  I even had an orange tee.

My caddy and I discussing strategy.

Putting on the last hole. I shot a 38 which was a pretty good round for me.

Piano Recital

We had a piano recital at a church in Warm Springs, Georgia.  I was happy with how I played my two pieces: The Gallaway Piper and Tarantella.  Afterwards, there was a party with food. I had about five desserts and some appetizers so that was my dinner.

Happy New Year!



I start out simple with just a few things

Then things get a little crazy!

We all had fun.  Julia!!!!  We don't eat steamers!!!!

Ellie has a great time too!

At nighttime on December 31st I was feeling a little sad to say goodbye to 2015.  But when I woke up we played a game and I was happy to be in 2016.  Now I know every year is great and I look forward to them all!
