Soccer
















We finished up Ty's soccer season this weekend with a tournament and a party! The kids did great and we are so proud of them...They got 2nd place and more than half of the team had never played before. We could not have had a better coach...he was so patient and made practices and games a blast for all the kids. I think we could have won if the kids werent so tired from 3 games in one day! Ty is very excited about his 1st trophy! We hope to keep in touch with Coach Geoff and some of the other players for next year. When we got to the party today it started pouring rain so you will see cold kids and dark skies but we made it work and the kids had a dance party...Lots of fun!










P.S. 5 more days till St Louis!

Mrs. Riley







I have to say at the beginning of the year I wasn't sure about Ty's teacher. She seemed a little cold and not as motherly as the other kindergarten teachers, but honestly she is GREAT!! Ty is so blessed to have her for a teacher. I got to visit class today for the 50th day of school. All the kindergarten had 50's day...they dressed up like 1950's and Mrs. Riley did lots of fun stuff for the kids. We made coke floats, she had a hula hoop contest, a bubble gum blowing contest and even did a twist dance off :) I took a couple pictures of the dancing. You will not see Tyler and his friend Braeden as they were too cool for the twist but everyone else had a blast! So I have learned that God answered my prayers and gave him the perfect teacher to meet his needs and he loves her dearly. He writes I love Mrs. Riley on the back of his papers...HA HA...little kiss-up! He got another blue today...which is above and beyond on his behavior in class. His only complaint about school is that it starts too early :)
