Bike Ridin', Volleyball'n Kind of Weekend

Look who started riding his bike without training wheels!?!?!  Miles the brave took his wheels off on Friday afternoon and off he went.  He's such a coordinated kid, I'm not at all surprised by how easy it was for him. He's a bike riding machine.  At one point Saturday, he had about three different cars stopped on our road.  He hasn't really learned the "rules of the road" yet. The no-training-wheels achievement has given him a sense of entitlement when it comes to the road.  And, he wants to ride ALL.THE.TIME. and in the middle of the road =). His favorite path--riding back and forth to our neighbors house.  

Love this little guy.  I'm thinking he may need a bigger bike soon. EH-hum, Meme, his birthday is coming up real soon.

Had to throw this precious picture of Karson and her cats into this post.  These are her three little balls of happiness.  We make a trip to Pap and Nana's almost daily to visit these cuties. They adore Karson and follow her around like a queen.

Speaking of queen's, Karson was chosen as a 5th grade representative in her class to participate in the STLP's Royal Court at Plano.  The contest runs through this Friday at noon.  She has to raise money from family and friends for votes.  One penny equals one vote.  She was selected back in 2011 to represent her 3rd grade class.  It's quite an honor to be chosen by your classmates, the 'win', however, is based on how much money is turned in.  SO, if any of my blog readers out there want to chip in a dollar or two, she'd appreciate it.  The winners are crowned at Fall Festival which is Friday night. 

Karson and her team the Spikers have been gearing up for volleyball season.  They've had two practices a week for the last couple of weeks.  I mentioned in earlier post that Karson has usually played for a team with the word 'spike' in it, but what I failed to mention is that she has always played for a pink team too.  I was glad her team colors this year are black and white.  This is the first year she hasn't been in PINK.

The girls had their first game on Saturday.  They also got their first win!

Team picture, post game.  Their next game is tomorrow night.

 

Her small cheering squad.  I think we took up about half the bleachers at Phil Moore park.

The sweetest kids on the planet.

We were short staffed Saturday night for Ring of Fire so I decided to help out in the ticket office.  Ou marketing team did a photo booth which was fun for the patrons but even MORE fun for our staff!  What a fun weekend!
