9 Years, 8 Months...Lots of soccer!

This month was full of soccer!  I got MVP at one of my soccer practices! Nana Arden and Papa Rodney brought me to Ellie's game at Hickman after practice and ice cream.  They actually picked me up three times from practice, and of course had ice cream before going to Ellie's game.  I have been playing defense and mid-field in my soccer games. Papa Ron and Linda came to one of my soccer games and we went out to Cheddar's with them (my choice!)  I played against Emerson and Westley's team that day. We were so excited to see each other again that we had them over to play the next day!  Ellie even came to a couple of my soccer games! My last soccer game was rainy.  The boys have been mean to me this season, saying they need to go easy on me because I'm a girl.  During the last game, one said I should just leave the team.  It made it hard to want to keep playing.  Mom asked the coach if it was a good idea for me to continue with this team in the spring, and she had no idea the problems I was having.  Her son Tyler called me to apologize and said he was just kidding.

I had several get togethers with friends this month.  I got to go to Autumn's and hang out one afternoon.  Avonlea came over here another afternoon and we used our creativity to make a flower design.  I chose not to go to MU soccer game even though I say that I love soccer.  Our family went to Alex's birthday party as well.

I really only want to play video games on my iPad and it is hard to get me to do anything else.  Mom took me to Hot Topic at the mall to pick up and pick out more Meowchi's.  These are the cat stuffed animals that we play with at school (that ends up causing jealous problems.) Dad tried to get me to do other things and I started playing basketball with him.  Now I ask if I can "shoot two hoops" often when the weather is nice.  It was also Athena's 3rd birthday!

I joined choir at school and have practice before school on Thursdays. We also had the Monster Mash inside at school on Friday the 13th.  It was too windy to have outside.  I ate with mom and played a couple of games, but then she had to work so I went around with my friends.  I shared a lot of my tickets with them.

We had Church on the lawn one Sunday, and I got to bring up the offering at Church in combined service another Sunday.  Pastor Carol and Pastor Mike are leaving to go to South Carolina so we won't have them much longer.

Our family went to the MU homecoming parade and I enjoyed the floats a lot.  We also went to the library and picked out some good books. I had the option but chose to not go to Neha's birthday party.

We have a lot of holidays coming up and lots more fun!
