After the homework is done we head to soccer, quite a few times we are still doing the homework on the way to either soccer practice or a soccer game. We love soccer and its a good thing we do because we eat, drink and breathe it. Ashton is so much taller than the other girls her age that she is really intimidating when on the field. She knows exactly how to work that to her advantage and is becoming quite a good little player.
Rylie has been playing on a comp team this season and it has been really fun! They took silver at the Utah Summer Games in Cedar City and the team is really starting to work together. All of her teammates are either from Tooele or Stansbury so she has made a lot of great friends as well.
When Rylie wanted to compete in the punt, pass and kick competition at the high school I said "Bring it on we will adder to the list" little did I know that she would take first place and that it would now commit us to travel to Tremonton in two weeks for the state finals. She was really excited. Looks like we better practice football in between soccer practices.
Rylie is now in her 3rd year of piano and is way past my limited piano knowledge to help her at all, so I just sit and listen as she practices and wish I would not have been a quitter when I was her age. She actually likes piano and is now learning the hymns so I sing while she plays, until she tells me that it is really difficult to try and play while someone who can't sing is trying to.
This is Ashtons first year doing piano but I think she's a natural. I was a bit leery to sign her up because she is more of an outside, I need a lot of room to move, kind of a girl. I wasn't sure she would be able to sit still for 30 min. each day to practice, but she sure surprised me. She is really doing well and her piano teacher loves her!
