Alex was on fire!

Alex finally caught on to soccer Saturday morning with a breakout performance -- scoring six goals. Adding in Chloe's three, that made nine goals for the Dobson clan. Here was goal number three for Alex.

Second Soccer Game

Chloe and Alex had their second soccer game today and it was AWESOME! They completely shut down the other team. They were able to dominate the field and Chloe was on fire, scoring all of the team's goals (there were so many that we lost count, and she sat out a quarter). You could hear the other parents talking about her. She is a force to be reckoned with, and this was only her second game in ANY sport. I fear for anyone who has to oppose her. As good as she was, she slid down one time, got up and told her coach she was an awful player. He just laughed and told her to get back in there.


Looking back at the photos, we figured out how she was able to dominate ball control. She taught herself this trick on the field. First, you grab the other player by the wrist ...


... then, you yank them behind you and take off with the ball. She used it to devastating effect today.


Here, you see Alex getting to kick the ball back in play. He was able to get a few assists in, and some steals. So, he had a pretty good day, but it's hard to get any time with the ball when Chloe's on fire.

Very First Soccer Game

Alex and Chloe had their very first soccer game today. It was Chloe's very first sports game and ... SHE SCORED THREE GOALS!!! We were so proud. Alex had a few assists and had a really good time. We're proud of him, too. See the series of Chloe scoring a goal below.







Little man did a really good job, too!!

Pool Fun

We took a trip to the public pool today and the kids had a blast swimming underwater.

Chloe in the Princess Pageant

Chloe in the dressing room at the Princess Pageant this May in Mountain Home.

Chloe's gorgeous little cousin was not a contestant this time, but instead provided a talent bit during the pageant's intermission. She danced to Katie Perry's "Firework" and was awesome!
