Soccer and Supper


#33 - Baxter the "Beetle"
This is practice with coach Kayla. These two girls are so great. They're juniors at Spalding High School and play on the soccer team. He's all over the ball at this point.
As soon as the game was over he was so excited to tell me, "Hey mama, did you see those people that were kicking the ball? I got real close to those kids mama!"
Bless him. He just has some fun. There's no competitiveness yet?
Team huddle....strategizing! I think Knoxie and Corbin have a plan.
At this point he's just hanging out enjoying the game. Our good friend Olivia Grace was our rival. Here's a time when he gets really close to those people that had the ball!
After a 10:30 soccer game, a 1:00 birthday party, 2:30 Nutcracker practice and another birthday party 3-5 it was time to run home and get ready to cook for twelve. We had a great dinner with a fun group of friends. Thanks to Bethany for keeping all three kittens after dancing all day! What a lifesaver.

The wine may have been the least caloric thing consumed! I think there were a total of three sticks of butter in our dinner dishes! Scott didn't get a pic of his yummy beef tenderloin he was so proud of. We're definitely getting old when we leave Kroger and text our friends that meat is on sale at $6.99/lb.

April couldn't be here but David felt right at home since these were April's recipes. I can't figure out how to get another pic to fit here so I'll have to post the asparagus risotto recipe later. It was a hit, along with the homemade lemon ice cream. Yummo.
