After doing some research and watching some videos, I decided to make a board game table with a cloth surface for posting cards and games.
I found this table on Facebook for $10, bought some cloth off ebay, and got to work.
Archer’s Soccer team is called “Fireball Dragons” (because they couldn’t decide on one). This is Archer’s third year of Soccer.
He played a small local league in Polson when he was 4, and after we moved to Oregon, he played on the McMinnville League (which Plays 7 weeks in Spring and 7 weeks in Fall). (Ashton’s been very happy to coach him every year so far.)
Last year, Archer had been very tentative and unwilling to try to take the ball from an opponent (unless it was Dad or Atley =)). At the end of last year, he started to be less hesitant, but this year, he’s all tenacious ferocity.
The ball even hit him in the face and he still got the ball back and took a strong shot.
And even with Coach’s best efforts to focus on passing to each other and getting open, Archer scored 9 goals today. Anna caught 3 of them.
Coach is very happy to see him and his team improving so much. We’ve had wonderful weather and a great group of kids and parents.
The clouds are back as the rains have started this year, and I just love them.
This weekend we went out our very first camping trip as a Family. Archer is 6 and Atley is 4, and we made it out to Lost Lake for two nights of camping.
The Reeves found this beautiful place and we had a fantastic time camping together. They have 3 children that our kids just adore. We first found the Reeves when I found their blog about being a Scientology Parent. They ended up visiting us in Montana when they were moving to Oregon, and now we live near each other.
We’ve made some huge progress on the new arena this week.
A few weeks ago, we had Cory put in our fence posts and I cut and screwed in the base boards around the edges. I met a nice man, named Rich Cox, in town, who lent me his generator so I found cut the 2×12 boards.
