Maddie's soccer

Well since last soccer season was a complete waste because it was pretty unorganized and Maddie just wasn't in to it we decided to try a different league, and well pretty much same disorganization, maybe worse actually, but Maddie is much more competitive this time around. Her poor "coach" I don't think has ever played and probably never even watched a soccer game before. It makes for some interesting games when we're doing throw-in's on the goal line in place of goal kicks and corner kicks...I try to get over it because I refused to volunteer myself because one I'm very pregnant at the moment and two I wanted Maddie to have a coach other then myself or Seth so she would be more likely to listen. Well, Seth has stepped up and usually asks the "coach" if she wants help and he ends up doing all the coaching which even though it's not what we intended, it is much better off this way! So here are some pictures of our future soccer star:
Bailee is also quite the soccer fan. She loves to dribble and LOVES to cheer on her big sister, it's pretty cute!
It took her quite a while to actually get into this position. She must have fell off the ball ten times before she got it to stop moving, she was pretty proud.

I forgot to mention earlier their team name...pumkin monsters. Seriously that is some
bright orange!

San Diego Zoo Trip

Well a couple of months ago Seth had to go to San Diego for a conference for work so we decided to make it a family trip since the hotel was paid for...it was a quick trip so we only had time to go to San Diego Zoo, I wanted to go to Sea World but we found tickets on Craigslist for the zoo for half the price so we decided to go there instead. The girls LOVED it! They are both kind of like animals so when Maddie asked where we were going on told her to see her other siblings...she didn't really get the joke but seriously she pretends to be an animal ALL the time! It's pretty funny.

One of Maddie's favorite parts of the trip was seeing the big cats.
Bailee loved the elephants.
More big cat photo ops.
Waiting for the lions to get fed, as soon as we left they of course fed them.
The sign for the big cats trail, Maddie was SO excited.
Outside the hotel, it was so pretty there.
