The school year and soccer season are in full swing, and I have been very busy. We have soccer practice on Tuesdays, swimming on Wednesdays, and soccer games on Saturdays. The past two weeks in soccer we have played much older and bigger teams, but I have played my heart out.
I love kicking the ball, and I am not afraid to push my way through the crowd. I haven't scored a goal yet, but I know my day will come.
I love playing and I especially love having my dad as my coach! He makes sure we all have a fun time.
I am also very excited that my new house is really taking shape. We go out several times a week to check the progress, and it is moving right along.
I love walking into my new room, and I've already decided that when I start getting trophies, they will go in my window!
For now, I am most excited about having an upstairs. I was thrilled when I got to go up the staircase to my new playroom!
I don't have any pictures, but Daddy and I went to
Nederland for a short visit. I had a wonderful time seeing all my relatives. I went swimming with the boys, watched Ryan's baseball game (and cheered REALLY loud), played golf with Nannie at
MaMa and
PaPa's, and played some lacrosse with Uncle Daniel. I can't wait to go back again very soon!
Saturday was a huge day for me. We started the morning off with my first official soccer game!! 
Daddy got us together for some stretching and warm-ups. We were ready to go! 
The other team was older and more experienced than us, but we still did a really great job. I had so much fun, but boy was it tiring running up and down the field. We did have the best crowd out there though, and even some of my teachers from school came out to watch. I was lucky enough to have Nannie, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Troy, Kaly, Hannah, Campbell, and of course my parents cheering me on!
One game down and five to go. Later that afternoon, I went to Jack's birthday party. It was a blast, and I even did the zipline (without the bucket) all by myself! I sang all the songs and played all the games, including a killer baseball hit, and have you ever seen a better icing moustache?
Saturday afternoon, we went to Hannah's soccer game and then finally just hung out at home. I had more fun than I could stand! Today Daddy and I headed down to Nederland for a few days, and I'm looking forward to spending some time with all my family there. I'll miss Mommy, but I promised her we'd be back soon!
As for our new house, earlier this week we drove by to find a slab. I wanted to take a picture in my new room. I asked if we could sleep there, but Mommy said not yet. Bummer! 
This weekend I brought my camera out to snap a few photos of the framing. By the end of the week, that part should be done. I can't wait for new house to be ready. 
Swimming lessons are going pretty great. I really like my teacher, and this week I accomplished jumping in, turning around and swimming to the side all by myself! Best of all, I mastered the back float. I can finally do something that Dad can't do! I still don't like to get my ears wet, but I decided to accept that it just has to happen sometimes. 
I aced all my objectives at school this past week, and I even got to bring Monkey to show and tell! Other than that, it has been soccer practice and party time. I have been to three parties in the past two weekends! Seeing my friends outside of class is awesome, and the parties have been a blast. 
Another fun week ahead!
