I started fall soccer. I have the same team with a few new girls and a new coach. Coach Elliot is a lot stricter, but I will learn a lot with her!

This weekend I get to go watch a Notre Dame game.  During half time, I get to scrimmage on the field.

This year, my coach wants me to learn to do 50 juggles and run one mile. I can run a mile with a short break in the middle, but I can only do 6 juggles right now. Please pray that I learn!

If you want to come to one of my games, here is the schedule. We will get directions closer to the game date if you need them.

We took these pictures just for fun. My job was to put them into the basket and the truck and arrange them to be cute. I like the one with them in the basket better. I want to make it into cards.

 

Yesterday I had a soccer game. It was much nicer than Saturday’s game!

I played well. I scraped my leg on cleats. I don’t know when or how I did it. It looks worse than it feels. Momma said it is my first “casuality of soccer”. She hopes it is the worse I ever get!

We won our soccer game 3-2!  

 

We accidentally left open the back door.  We were making dinner then we heard something crash in the window! Mommy looked and saw a bird.I took some pictures because he looked funny sitting on Megan’s rocking chair or on our clean dishes.

He flew out the back door.  I helped Mommy “herd” him out.

Megan said “birdies no sit on my rocking chair. Not nice.”

Then I got to play with the bird (picture).

 

Our game on Saturday was cold and wet. Around half time the sky got all black and it started to rain and got very windy. I thought we were going to have a storm! The storm passed over us, but it drizzled the rest of the time. The wind kept blowing the ball out of the field, it made it harder to play!

Momma said that I made a nice head block, even though it went out. We lost, 1-3, but it was a good game.

My last home game is tonight (13 May) at the NIBCO field in Elkhart at 6pm. The last away game is 1 June at 2:00, but I am not sure where it is. I hope to play again in the fall.

 

Audrey and I  are starting a quilt. Mine is pinks and purples.  My theme idea is flowers and butterflies. Audrey’s material is browns and greens and her theme is monkeys!

We sorted our colors we have been collecting into lightest to darkest.   Then we took pictures to make sure they were in the right order.  That was hard because I have lots of different colors. Sometimes we thought one was lighter or darker and when we saw the black and white we realized it was in the wrong place. Then we fixed it and did it again until it was all right.

We are using the book Simply Dynamic Sampler Quilts by Marianne L.Hatton.

I have been collecting cotton material and the book says a lot is good!  I don’t have a lot yet. According to the book, I have a good start though. We have been getting quarter yard pieces, but Momma says we should start getting half yards, unless it is really pretty and then we will get a little more. I guess it depends on how fast we use the material.

We started it up today because it is Fun Friday and we will try to work on it every week. I will post finished blocks when I have them.
