Team RAMPAGE's first soccer practice

Doodle had her first soccer practice last evening. She had a great time and loves that her best friend K is on her team. We were very proud of how well she did. Of course our battery was not charged on the camera so I am waiting on L to email me the pictures she took. I will post them as soon as I get them.

She has a wonderful coach who is REALLY going to teach them how to play soccer. He is a firm believer in only positive attitudes and will not tolerate any criticism of the kids while they are practicing or playing. He already told us we will probably not win the first several games because he believes in teaching the fundamentals first. That is perfectly find with us plus the YMCA does not keep score with any age group so there is never a winner/loser.

Here is the schedule of Doodle's games (they are all on Saturdays). We would love for anyone to come and watch. All games are played on the soccer field behind the First Baptist Church in Belmont. Please make sure to only park in the Church parking lot and not on the streets. I am sure you can park in the Presbyterian Church parking lot if there is not enough spaces at the Baptist Church.
  • April 4th - 9am
  • April 18th - 11am
  • April 25th - 10am
  • May 2nd - 9am
  • May 9th - 10am
  • May 16th - 9am

Doodle practices every Tuesday at the same soccer field from 5:30-6pm if anyone would like to come then.

SNOW FUN

Doodle was not to interested Sunday night when it first starting snow. She wanted to watch Miss Spider instead. Monday morning was a completely different story. After breakfast we bundled up both of the girls and went outside. Pooh was not fond of the snow or at least not sitting in the snow. Who could blame her. We had bundled her up so much she could not move very well. She did love being outside as long as one of us were holding her.


Doodle loved playing in the snow and did not want to come in. We made a snowman, snowwoman and snow angels. She also loved having a snow ball fight.



Here was our first snowwoman as Doodle decided!






Here was our second snowman!



After all of our building all Doodle wanted to do was swing.


We can not forget Bo Dog. He had a blast in the snow as you can tell from the following pictures.

We just wished the snow had stayed a little longer.
