More Soccer

We had our first soccer game last weekend. Deanna made at least 6 goals! (we don't keep score) She really enjoys it. I heard a parent from the other team say "that girl is gooood!"
We have been enjoying really warm weather so far this fall. I'll appreciate it now because soon enough we will be watching soccer in the pouring rain. Maybe her brothers can catch a game sometime....hint hint.

Look Who's Six!

Deanna had a fun sixth birthday. She loves the attention. Her birthday was Friday, so she had cupcakes at school with her friends. Then we took her out to Red Robin for dinner where she enjoyed being sung to.

On Saturday we had a nice family birthday party. She loved all of her gifts and she told me "I'm so happy I got so many toys!" We got her a Disney Princess clock radio that tells stories. She really loved this. I taught her to stay in bed in the morning until the clock said 08:00! It worked!

Its so nice to see such a happy girl celebrating her birthday for only the second time in her life.

Back to School

Hanging out at the Beach

Love that Rosie!!!

We finished up the summer with some fun time at the beach. Deanna and I started out the trip and Jon joined us a couple days later. Deanna has discovered miniature golf and kite flying. We all had a great time and enjoyed great weather.

Today was the first day of Kindergarten! Deanna is going to a private kindergarten, with a small class size and a great teacher. She really needs to be back in school as she is getting bored. She was very happy to go this morning and saw some old friends from preschool. They seemed to get a lot of things done at school today. I think it will be a productive year.
