Soccer season hits Kittitas Valley

This is Jon. Adelyn is playing U6 co-ed soccer this fall and the first round of games were today. The Mid-State Co-op "Cougars" went 3-0 in the jamboree today, winning 3-1, 8-1 and 4-3 on the day (we're not supposed to keep score, and I publicly do not, but we all know who wins and loses). As I did with Delaney, I'm coaching Adelyn's team this year and we've got a good mix of kids and I get along with their parents as well.
Daddy and Addy on the way to the game. She was beyond excited, but also admitted to some nerves on the way there. She was very cool on the pitch though once her friends showed up and then again when the games started.
Adelyn defending the goal. Very proud moment for Dad/coach.
Our team huddle after game 1. I always try to celebrate as much as I can with my team and then also try to coach them up on things we need to work on (usually it's passing and playing together). Of course, once the ball is in play, it's chaos, but still fun.

Quarterly update from KTown

Spring sports with Delaney playing volleyball for the second straight year. This year was noticeably different as her league included fifth through eighth graders. Adelyn with her second year of softball. Again, a noticeably different level of competition. Delaney will eat anything, just like me. Food is fun, especially when you try new things. We're at the Crab Pot along the Seattle waterfront and we got a seafeast of salmon, crab, clams, mussels, shrimp, sausage and corn. It was deee-lish. Dee Dee and her shrimp...right before she ripped its head off to grub down. Kittitas day at the Mariners game. 80 of our closest friends from KTown in attendance. Took Adelyn and Brittany to Saltwater State Park. Adelyn loved the shells, crabs and the clams underneath the surface squirting water. On our way home, we got stopped on the pass for the roadwork blasting. Took the opportunity to snap a few pics of this beauty. Adelyn with my hat, a rain coat, pajamas, ten...

When Mommy's sick and Daddy's in charge...

...this happens... Addy is potty training (quite successfully and very quickly I might add) so she's pretty much pantsless 24/7. She doesn't usually wear Brittany's boots, though. That's Addy again, wearing Delaney's wicked witch hat. Don't know where she got it. Delaney and her sunflower she's been growing since the last few days of school. It finally bloomed at the beginning of this week...and Delaney's wearing Mommy's boots now.

This is Jon. We celebrated Adelyn's 4th birthday party over the course of a few days. Parents party, grandparents party and kids party. She was very spoiled. Can't believe this girl is four! Addy Bear with her new Barbie Bike. Two lovely ladies... Getting ready to dig in... She looks like she's ready to hit the town in her new outfit. A big boost in her piggy bank! My two girls lookin' cute. I think she looks adorable in these two pics!
