Super Coach

Olivia's end-of-the-year soccer party was last week. She had so much fun this season...much of that has to do with her great coach! She's been on Dave's team for the last three seasons, and each time gets better. He know how to have fun with the girls and is always making sure they are having a blast learning to play soccer. (It also helps that the team rarely loses!) Olivia has won the MIP (Most Improved Player) award each season...we're proud of her for always trying her hardest, doing her best, and having fun...she also kicked the ball twice in a row this year and scored her first goal! :-) She's looking forward to the spring and another season with Dave!

Cutting Teeth

These three cuties not only have genetics and the love of their parents in common, they are also ALL teething! When Trenton's top front teeth were coming in, so were Olivia's! Last Saturday, Olivia and Lola both lost a tooth..on the very same day! The tooth fairy was busy that night....er, the next morning, when they remembered! :-) This next picture is just because his look is priceless!

A cowgirl, a fairy, and an afterthought

The girls' costumes this year really reflected their personalities. Lola was a fairy with glitter wings, blushed cheeks, and a flower in her hair. Olivia was a cowgirl..but not the kind of cowgirl that wears a skirt! She wanted chaps, a vest, and even a gun holster. Of course, she looked gorgeous!
So while I spent hours sewing the girls' costumes and getting them all ready for the big night, Trenton's costume was a pure afterthought....I found it at a thrift store for a steal. I'm beginning to think that's how it's going to be for the boy...there's just not so much one can sew for a boy! (Or accessorize, for that matter!)

We were in Utah for the holiday, so the girls got to trick-or-treat with some of their Osguthorpe cousins. Their neighborhood has everyone bring their cars to one street, then does a trunk-or-treat along that one street. The kids got a loot in a matter of minutes! Of course, we did the traditional trick-or-treating through the neighborhood after. The girls loved every minute while Trenton couldn't wait to get out of that stroller and into bed...love that guy!
