More Spring Events

Here are just a few more things from our busy Spring.

The 2nd Grade classes had a concert where they sang a few songs for us and played some instruments.

We also went camping at Lake Georgetown with the entire Stacer family. We didn't actually spend the night... we came for Saturday, left late, and then came back early Sunday morning.

Spring Field Trips

I was lucky enough to get to go with the kids on their Spring Field trips. Evan's class went to the Twin Lakes YMCA where they did a bunch of outdoor activities (with some learning thrown in like how recycling benefits the planet, etc).

Caitlin's grade got to go to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. I love that place! They had a scavenger hunt to do as we explored all the different areas.

This was the group I was responsible for!

I am so lucky to get to spend time with them and participate in things like this. It was a lot of fun!

Caitlin's Dance Recital 2016

This year, we switched dance studios and Caitlin did a Ballet/Jazz combo class. She LOVED it! Their recital was in early June and her class did a Jazz routine to J Lo's, "Let's Get Loud!"  It was a great routine and Caitlin rocked it!! She was center stage and was right on. I'm so proud of her! Here are some picks we took from dress rehearsal and the big night.

She loves to pose :)

Some friends from class

The whole class - about half the girls go to the same Elementary school as Caitlin so that was pretty fun (and are in Kindergarten).

One of my favorites!

She had a big cheering section for her performance.

And of course we all were there too.

Great job Caitlin! 

Evan's First Soccer Tournament

Towards the end of Spring Soccer, Evan's team got to play in a small tournament.  They played 3 games in group play followed by the final.  They ended up with a record of 2-0-1 in group play which meant they made it to the Final Championship game for their group. It was a tough match but they won!! It was so exciting for them. He had some great games (even scored in one of the games) and we had a lot of fun watching him. It was a LONG weekend though of back and forth to the fields.

Spring Soccer

Here are a couple pictures from our Spring season of Soccer. This time, Caitlin decided that she wanted to play too. A friend of hers was playing and asked Caitlin to play too. I was very surprised she said yes. We had tried soccer when she was littler and it just didn't seem to be her "thing". But, I figured she really wanted to so why not.

She had a great coach. He was so encouraging and fun with the kids. She really enjoyed it and she actually got quite a bit better! She is somewhat of a timid player but as the season went on, she really started to get into those scrums and fight for the ball more. 

This Spring, Evan played Academy again and got to be on his best friend Alex's team (which was awesome!).  He had a lot of fun and had a great team. We really enjoyed watching him grow as a player. He really started to grasp the idea of spacing and positions. I'll do another post later with some pictures from the tournament the played in at the end of the season. Stay tuned!

And last but not least, Ryan started soccer! He played at the YMCA (with some friends from the neighborhood) with Coach Travis and Coach Bryce. It was an interesting year. He had a blast, but he definitely was more interested in practice than the games! 

But, the best thing is that he had fun and really loves to play soccer with his Daddy. It is definitely something we will continue to do (just maybe in a different format).
