A bit chilly outside but perfect for a soccer game!!

Uncle Louie was asked to coach Ashley's team for the Monday night game.

Ashley's a good listner and knows it's serious! ;-)

Looking over at what Michael is doing and I find him helping the other coach with warm-ups and discussing something with the referee!

Michael looks on as I know he wants to play on a team too someday....that's what he tells me at every game.

Michael's learning the rules about the soccer field. No crossing the white line!!

Ever hear of soap-on-a-rope? Well, here's soccer-ball-on-a-rope! Michael has made a friend with a sister to one of Ashley's teammates.

Big news on April 19th!

Uncle Louie took Ashley, Michael and their bikes down to the park that Saturday. It was decided that Ashley should try to ride her bike without the training wheels. And she did it!! Because we live on a hill, the flat land at the park helped both of them--Uncle Louie did a lot of running beside her! Iwas so bummed that I didn't have our camera. Hopefully, next time I'll get a chance to snap a few pictures of her. For safety reasons, we put the wheels back on while she rides around home. We were all so proud of her! Way to go Ashley!

Sunday, April 13th!! :-) What a fun way to spend the day!

We had the pool to ourselves.... ALL afternoon!


Tara was a good sport while I took pictures. Thanks, Tara.
(Michael did have a little rash under his checks after swimming and I can see why from this picture! Sorry, big guy.)
