First Cheer Event of the Year - Celebration of Hope

On Saturday we had our first cheer event of the season. Each year Charlotte Allstar Cheerleading starts with the Celebration of Hope. If you don't know the story of Hope Stout you can find out more at www.marchforthwithhope.org. I am so glad Shay and Charlotte Allstars is part of this event. Shay's team is the Lime Squad. We call them the Lil' Limes. They did an awesome job and their coaches are wonderful. It's fun to see all the teams perform. In two weeks the competition season begins.
Our weather was not great this weekend and both soccer and football were cancelled. Nathan did a great job surviving the cheer event. I only heard "HOW MANY MORE NOW!!!" a couple of times. Poor guy!:( He did something he's never done before which made me even more proud. Instead of playing his DS player he read a book. It was his idea. His reading is really improving and hopefully this new excitement will continue.

Flag Football and Soccer

Today was the first weekend for Flag Football games and soccer. They both got their jersey's and just happen to both get #7 and red for their team color. Both teams started with prayer (thank you SOAR) Nathan really enjoyed his game. He did a good job and had fun. Shay's team has practice first and then scrimmage games. Little kids soccer games are so funny. They all had a great time. Shay is the only girl on her team but that didn't seem to bother her. Over all very fun I can't wait until it gets a little cooler.

Second Day of Kindergarten No Stagger.

Today was our first day of Kindergarten with all the kids coming. Shay was ready to go and had a great day. She could tell me some of her number in Chinese and had fun making new friends. Nathan had his first flag football practice. I think they noticed that he had never touched a football before. We went out side today and practiced. He felt like he was already getting better. It was a beautiful day here. We are getting into our new routine. I know it is really good for us but I miss being able to let them stay up and play. It is really hard not getting to spend so much time together.
