Soccer!!


Evalyn played soccer this summer!


We started with a camp that lasted three days.
(Check out her form...good job!)


She absolutely LOVED the camp!


And she played super hard.
Atta Girl!


Whenever the coaches were explaining the next drill,
she would stand by the teenagers, not her peers...so funny.


She was really quite impressive for her age.
And she had such fun doing the drills all three days of soccer camp.
(And this is me trying to objective, not an over zealous mom.)
:)


And then we started the soccer season,
and this was the picture I took at every game.
Evalyn was not impressed with 10 kids chasing one soccer ball.
She's still cute though. :)


Her favorite part of every game was the "warm ups"
and then high-fiving everyone afterwords.
"Good game!, Good job!, Good game!"
She loved that part.


So I guess it was worth it...
we both learned a lot this soccer season.
Evalyn learned about the game of soccer,
and I learned more about my happy, energetic, supportive little girl.

Yellowstone, take 2.



I'm back, and I have a lot to catch up on.
So today I'm devoted to sharing this summer's adventures with you.
We'll start with our second trip of the year to Yellowstone.
Enjoy the pics!



We spent the day with Grandma and Grandpa



This is us hiking around the geysers.

You'll notice Evalyn's over-sized butterfly shirt.
She saw that in West Yellowstone before we entered the park,
and just HAD to have it.
So Grandma and Grandpa, (being so sweet) obliged. :)


Here we are in front of my favorite geyser, Puffing Dragon.

The museum was a great stop for us all.


She kept calling Buffalo, Elk...
too much Elk Refuge exposure I guess. :)>

She was listening to music, and the headphones kept squishing her cheeks together.
It looked so uncomfortable, but she was just loving rocking out.


What a cutie!


As always, we enjoyed our time together and were so
glad we got to share the day with Grandma and Grandpa.
Thanks so much for everything G & G!
