Volleyball, Football AND Soccer

Violet has her volleyball. Lincoln has football. And Hazel has soccer. Makes for a long day.

Goldie isn't involved in sports yet but she wants to play soccer. I feel sorry for the little girls she may be up against! 

Happy Birthday Teresa

Michael took Teresa and I to Red Lobster for her birthday.

While it was a small celebration, I don't think Michael will want to go back to Red Lobster. He got rather sick afterwards. Happy 65th Birthday Teresa! 

Easter

I didn't want to cook a big Easter dinner so we went to Jose Pepper's instead.

Pearl and all the Taylor kids got Easter baskets as did my own kids.

Plus I was able to get a picture of Violet, me and Melissa. I like being the smallest one in the group!

Pearl's Walking

This time it's official. No tentative steps. Pearl just got up and started walking.

I actually she's been practicing in private! 

Hazel Gets Her Ears Pierced

Now we end Hazel's birthday with getting her ears pierced.

It's amazing how much this girl has grown. For such a shy little girl she's really doing some big stuff. Happy Birthday Hazel! 

Birthday Skating Party for Hazel and a Wipeout for Michael

Hazel had a skating party for her birthday. (I apologize for the dark pictures. I tried to lighten them up as much as possible.)

So many new kids to try and get to know. Hazel is a good skater and even won the limbo contest.

Lincoln is quite the skater too and came close to winning the limbo. Just missed clearing the bar by a hair. He fell right after he went under the bar so he was out.

Michael, on the other hand, came flailing towards me and crashed to the ground. Although he wanted to skate, he's checked this item off his list of things to do.

It's rare when I have the chance to get a picture with Michael, Melissa and Jamie. So when the opportunity presents itself, I take it.

All in all, Hazel had a pretty exciting 7th birthday party.

Hazel Plays Soccer

When Melissa told me Hazel was going to play soccer, all I could think of was the other girls are going to kill her. She's so small.

But Hazel surprised us all. She's quick, has good feet and bounces right back up when she's knocked down.

Let's hope the weather stays nice so we can watch a good season.
