Parents Visit and First Soccer Practice

My parents visited this past weekend. We got to play outside in the nice weather, see Drew's first soccer practice, and just hang out with the kids. On Friday night, the kids went to the Y for Parents Night Out and so we even got to go out to eat kid-free. (Which this worked out great b/c Drew had a GREAT time at the Y and was excited to tell us all about it when we picked him up!)

Friday during the day, Emma was so silly and kept bringing Mr. Potato Head's glasses to my mom so that she'd put them on her! Then she'd walk around and play with them on! But she wouldn't do it once Chad got home from work.

Then Saturday morning Drew had his first soccer practice. Here's his whole "team" with their coach. (Drew's the third one, and his best buddy Luke is next to him in red.)


Here's Drew taking a break.

Here's an action shot!

And running with a silly grin! =)

Here's Emma watching all the action with my dad - she's ready to play!

And a couple videos of Drew. They were supposed to kick it lightly and slowly and then stop the ball with their foot on top of it. "Slowly" was not in Drew's vocabulary that day, so this one was a little hard for him.

And then they had to kick the ball and knock over as many cones as possible. He did pretty good with this and got quite a few.

And then at the end of practice each kid got to score a goal!
