christine's blog...: busy sunday

we had a busy sunday... church, birthday party, and first day of soccer. it was busy, but it was fun. :)

addison and i went to her friend, joylyn's 5th birthday party. her mom asked me to take some photos, which i much happily obliged. gorgeous sunny weather, beautiful children, happy occasion... it was a joy!

the birthday girl. goregous isn't she??!

the birthday girl's baby sister. she is a darker-haired version of her older sister.

she is the youngest of 4 daughters. she is cute as a button.

good ole addie with her kool-aid smile.

really enjoying the cupcake! :)

happy birthday, joylyn!!

and then immediately after the birthday party, addison had her first day at soccer. she skipped her nap. i was hoping that she would be okay. but i think the extra sugar from the cupcakes was the fuel that kept her going. :) we knew that one of her friends was also going to be there. but apparently, there were 150+? some kids signed up so we thought the chance of her and her friend, andrew being on the same team would be slim to none. but when we got there and they read off the teams, it turns out that they DID get on the same team! needless to say, addison was super excited.

at a local high school. it was really packed. i was surprised and impressed with how organized this little league was. i never played soccer as a kid so this was all sort of new to me. i was pumped up!

addison and next to her is her buddy, andrew

a little huddle

this is a little far away... but if you zoom in, you can clearly tell that addison is so happy to be with andrew! they are more goofing around at this point! they are doing some sort of weird happy dance.

andrew was cruising!! he was doing awesome!

"go addie!!! go after the ball!" okay, another thing that surprised me was that i so totally turned into "that soccer mom" that's always cheering for their kid on the sidelines. i was a little embarrassed by myself! but i couldn't help it! haha
