Soccer and Horseback riding Fall 2011

I feel like I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off the last 6 weeks.  We have been so busy with fall sports and activities it's been crazy.  Thankfully things wrap up in the next couple weeks and we will have a short break until winter sports begin.  Somehow Cami ended up involved in more activities than the boys which is a first. She is taking piano lessons and started the violin last month.  She is doing great with it and is very excited about it.  Last week was her last riding lesson for the winter.  She learned alot and got to canter during her last couple lessons.  A horse is definitely on her birthday and Christmas list.  

At the end of Cami's lessons Cassidy gets to go for a little ride.  She gets so excited and throws a fit when her turn is over.  We have some plastic toy horses that Cass carries around with her all day playing with.  She has named them Madison and Levi - after the 2 horses Cami rides.  I think she is following in her sisters footsteps of being a horse lover.

 Cami played fall U-7 soccer this season.  Her friend Mari's mom and I coached their team.  Cami was much more aggressive this season and scored at least 1 goal in most of the the games.  I think she's finally getting the hang of soccer and doesn't just run around with everyone. 

 Cami got lucky and had her BFF Halee on her team as well as Halee's twin brother Mason.  These two girls are so cute together.  They hug each other everytime one of them scores a goal and pass the ball back and forth saying "no, it's your turn," "oh, no I think it's your turn."  I think they are both going to be traumatized when they don't end up on the same team and have to play against each other.  

Tonight is their last game and I must admit I am glad.  Most game nights Chris is coaching Carter's football team and gets to Cami's game late so I have Cassidy trying to run onto the field or wanting to be held while I'm coaching.  She really thinks she is part of the team and doesn't understand why she can't be out there with the kids. I don't know how we're going to manage when she is old enough to play sports and we are going 4 different directions instead of 3!
