Pumpkin Time!

October always brings all kinds of fall adventures.  We recently took a trip out to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina.  We went on a hayride, picked out a pumpkin, went through a hay maze and enjoyed a hot dog.  I love fall!

 Aunt Liz and Uncle John brought me a gigantic pumpkin to carve. Dad and I drew the face and pulled out the insides while mom helped me with the knife!

I have loved going to Pre-K this year, and I am learning so much.  We even have to do homework every week, but I don't mind doing it.

 We recently had a fall festival at school, and I had a blast.  I got to participate in a sing along, ride on a train, go through a petting zoo, got a tattoo and decorated a pumpkin....all while playing my my school buddies.

 With Mommy's belly getting bigger, the arrival of my baby sister is becoming a little more real.  I told my parents we needed to get her room ready as soon as possible.  I helped my parents paint the walls and assemble the crib.  Mommy says we still have a long time, but I want to be prepared!

 Dad's birthday is right around the corner, but we had a fancy lunch over the weekend at a Japanese steakhouse.  I loved watching the chef cook our food, and I got to use chopsticks for the first time.  I was a natural!

Block Party and a Parade

The first week of October was VERY busy.  On Tuesday, I got up early and went to the doctor with Mommy and Daddy.  We got to see my baby sister, Brinley, up on the screen.  I was so excited when she waved at me!

 After the doctor's appointment, we went window shopping for baby stuff until it was time for lunch.  I had some fun on the horse outside of LaHa before we went inside.

 After lunch, Mommy had to go back to work.  Dad and I dropped her off and went fishing for the afternoon.  Uncle Johnny went with us, too, and I caught ten fish!

 If that weren't enough fun for one day, it was National Night Out.  That evening there was a big block party in our neighborhood right across the street from Aunt Liz's house.  I got there early and helped set up.

 I got my face painted like a dragon and jumped in the bounce house.  We ate plenty of food and met lots of neighbors.

 I was so excited when the fire truck arrived!  I was the first one to test out the driver's seat.  It was awesome.

 I got to meet Sparky the fire dog and McGruff the crime dog.

 On Wednesday, it was time for the Prosper homecoming parade.  We got there early to get a good seat.

 I loved watching all the floats, and I figured out that the more you wave, the more candy you get!

 I shook my booty to the band and got all kinds of attention.  What a fun night!

 Because our game last weekend got rained out, we had to make up our game on Thursday night.  It was dark and windy, but we had fun.  Nannie got to town in time for my game, so she got to see me score a goal!

On Friday I got to stay home from school with Nannie.  We went to IHOP for breakfast, raided the Dollar Tree and played all day long.  It was so much fun! Friday night a cold front started to blow in, but I was bound and determined to go to theWakeland homecoming game.  We bundled up and watched them get a big win.

 Saturday morning it was SO COLD.  It was a pretty rough game, and it was the first time I didn't score any goals (but neither did any of my teammates.)  Everyone said I played awesome defense, and I still had a really good time.

What an awesome week it was, and I've heard this month has many more surprises in store!

Prosper Soccer 2012

The end of summer and start of fall can only mean one thing....soccer season!  We decided to play in the Prosper soccer league so I could meet some local kids.  I was so ready for opening day!

 We played a hard game against a tough team, and I managed to score two goals.

 At our second game, I got to do the coin toss.  I thought that was pretty cool.  Soccer is so much fun!

 I finally got to do my first real throw-in!  The rules are so much stricter now.  No coaches on the field, no substitutions and ten minute long quarters.

 We got creamed in the second game, but I played my heart out and managed to score one of only two goals for our team in the whole game.

 This weekend, the Sharks were looking much better.  We have improved a lot, but we still have a way to go to catch up to some of the bigger faster teams out there.  I did manage to score the only goal of the game for our team, so I was happy.

 Everyone was proud of how tough I played, and my defense was pretty strong.  It was fun having Nana and the girls there to cheer me on.

 The luckiest part of all is that my dad is my coach.  He is the best dad in the whole world, and I'm so glad I get to play for him every week!
