Rya- Future Soccer Star

Today Rya got her first pair of soccer cleats, shin guards, and socks. The shoes are black with pink stripes and the other two items are pink (not shocking if you have been around Rya lately- it must all be pink!). Since Rya doesn't do well without a lot of prepping, Jason got out his gear this morning and put it on to show Rya what to expect. She has been telling us over and over again that she loves soccer and is ready to start in a few weeks. We hope she likes it as much as she thinks she will! She is getting ready for bed now with her shin guards and cleats on and she napped in her cleats today.

Rya is not old enough to be on a team yet, but she is taking a Kidz Love Soccer class (a parent participation class) starting in a few Saturdays. Hopefully Jason will be able to attend by then (after his back surgery) because I'm at the same level as Rya when it comes to soccer skills!



Garage Remodel

The breezeway (space between our house and garage) will be gone very soon! That space will become our third car garage and we will have a double garage door on the front of the existing garage. In addition, we are having the power line that now goes over our yard to the house put under ground (how else can Jason properly play basketball?) and getting a new roof. So far, we have a new driveway, a giant trench in the backyard (for the conduit and wire), and our existing garage is down to its frame. The project should be done mid-July!

The trench is about 4 feet deep. I'm glad I didn't have to dig it!
