Final soccer game and cousins visit!

Kiersten finally had her last soccer game after several postponed games made the season drag on into June. She is so much more confident now, and really goes after the ball. 

I couldn't convince Ben to come, even though it was her last game. He wanted to stay home and do yardwork instead. He ended up cutting himself with the hedger, and having to go get 8 stitches. Maybe next time he'll listen to me...

Kiersten made 3 goals. She is so much better now than when she started. 

She still goofs off a little here and there. 

She really likes her coach. She told him she would miss him so much until fall. 

My sister Jackie came over from Chicago with her 3 little kids for a few days. The girls really love playing with cousins. It was nice every day, so we spent lots of time outside. 

These 2 best buddies didn't fight once during the entire visit. 

The kids played Kiersten's Pretty Princess game over and over again. 

It was nice to take all the kids over to the pool. The girls have lots of fun now that they are able to swim pretty well. 

Evie is finally willing to float without me holding onto her. It's her new favorite thing, but she still gets a little nervous occasionally if she drifts too far from me. 

Kiersten's doing pretty well with her doggie paddle, but she still mainly stays in the shallow end. 

We also took the kids to 6 flags. We spent 5 hours there. It was so fun, but exhausting. Most of the time was spent in the little kids area. 

Cash was too scared to go on the joker ride when we first got there. By the time we were leaving, he wanted to go back and go on it. He was so proud of his bravery for riding it. It's a swinging gondola type of ride. I wish I had gotten a picture of him on it looking so proud!

All the kids got super hero capes, and had tons of fun playing with them all night. 

After 6 flags, we hurried home so Ben and I could go out while Jackie watched the kids. It's always nice to have a night away from the kids, when they are being taken care of by a family member. So that was really nice!
