A Fun Founder's Day

Well Saturday was a great day around our house. Kaylee had an early morning soccer game. It was actually quite chilly outside. She did a good job in the game with two assists on the goals. Of course she had Mom, Dad, and Grandma cheering her on this week. I think she is ready for soccer to be over for a little bit. She will miss Coach James and Kaitlyn though. Next week is the last game till Fall so hopefully the Butterflies will continue to excel.

After the game we came home to change and went to the Founder's Day celebration downtown. It was fun because most everything was for the kids.
There were some bounce houses, slides, and even a little combat type air mat. Kaylee made fast friends with a little boy who was also going on the slide so they raced each other up the stairs and down the huge slide a few times. Next it was on to lunch which consisted of sausage on a stick, foot long corndogs, and funnel cake. Delicious!! There was also a tent full of games for the kids. Kaylee mainly did the fishing game and I have to say got pretty good at casting her reel. Her favorite part was getting the frisbee as a prize.
Until she discovered the Barrel Train!! She just hopped right on board and loved riding all over the street. Cary and I realized how big she has gotten when she did not need our help getting onto the train car. She does still however need help getting off which made us feel a little more needed. I still sit and wonder where the past 4 years have gone.(I cannot think about it too long because it makes me so sad.)

Notice I have not mentioned Campbell because she had missed her morning nap and spent most of her time at Founder's day like this... Bless her little heart she was so tired. The screaming, band playing, and train going by failed to wake her. After a little nap she was ready to eat and look around. I am happy to say even though she still does not have much hair she will soon have two teeth. Yeah!! I was beginning to think my sweet girl would be toothless and hairless for her first birthday. So far Campbell is handeling the teething like a pro. I still cannot believe in two months she will be ONE!! ( Can't think about that either.)

All in all the Beards had a great weekend!! Kaylee is looking forward to hunting Easter eggs and I am looking forward to another fun weekend coming up:)

That festival looks like so much fun! Two "assists" in soccer? I don't think Mary Alice knows anything about assists. She is too busy high fiving the other kids on the team, chasing the boys, or picking flowers to make a "salad". Honestly, I still don't think she understands the object of the game. Coach James must be doing an awesome job! My girl smiles really big, but hasn't a clue otherwise.

Where has the time gone??? I tell Mary Alice that she always has to be my girl and always has to live with me and remind her often that she will take care of me when I am old. It helps me to not be so sad if I pretend that she will never grow up. :(

Glad you guys had a fun weekend!
