This past Saturday was an excellent day for playing soccer and the Orange Crush did just that. They came out strong during the first quarter. As the season comes to an end, I thought I’d share a few photos of Mikayla playing soccer and let you preview some of the sideline action too. Check out these photos of Mikayla playing soccer and leave a comment for us letting us know if you enjoyed them.

Julian turns 1 on Friday, April 25th! We are having a birthday party for him at our house that evening at 7pm. You are all invited to come and help us celebrate this momentous event. If you need directions to the house, please call us. If you plan on coming or would like to wish Julian a happy birthday, drop us a note. Thanks.

Update: Juli and I can hardly believe it has already been an entire year since Julian was born. He is getting so big now. He is crawling all over the house, climbing stairs, cruising around furniture and walking (with support of course). He has two bottom teeth and two top teeth (one of them is on the verge of popping through) and he has started eating real foods (not from a jar).

In Mikayla’s science class at school, they are learning about animals and their habitats. As a cool project for the kids, her teacher assigned them to research an animal, make a report about this animal and then create a diorama to display the animal in its natural habitat. Mikayla choose to do her habitat project on the green sea turtle.

For a couple of nights, Mikayla read books and websites about green sea turtles to gather information for her project. Now in its completed state, she is taking her diorama and report to school tomorrow for a formal class presentation.

Check out photos of her green sea turtle diorama. It turned out flippin’ sweet.
