Abi is in Soccer...Kind of....
We have had terrible luck getting our kids involved in sports. They just really don't want to play once we get to the actual game. They cry, we get frustrated, they cry some more, and then we get embarrassed and take them home. When we put Olivia in soccer (which she asked us to do) she cried every game and ended up playing a total of 15 minutes. So by the 3rd game that she was absolutely out of control we pulled her out, and took her to the lake with Jason and made her run around it 2 times. Well it wasn't quite the punishment we hoped for because the next day she asked to go run it again with Jason. Needless to say I haven't signed her up for any more activities, but Abi did say she wanted to. A couple of her friends were signing up so we did it. I don't have to go into too much detail because you can just reread what Olivia did. So we have like two games left and she cries the whole day before the game, and during the game. We have seen a little progress, and do have some pictures from the good times.This is actually (as of the last game) what she does now instead of cry, she sits, eats, and watches her team play...Yeah Progress.....

Oh how I love your girls. Grant randomly prayed for Abi the other night. He loves her. He says he wants to see her all the time. He probably feels the same way about Livy except Abi is much easier for him to say.
There my kind of girls!!!! Sit..eat..cheer the team on. seriously I hated running after that ball. When it got to me someone kicked it and it was gone..Hence quit..
No Problem. These girls are dancers. Both Livy and Abi have a personality that makes you love them no matter what they do. This grandma loves them a ton even if they don't like kicking soccer balls and being a team player. They are saving for a marathon!
