We celebrated by having a Night Owl Party. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Zoe's friends came in their pajamas and brought sleeping bags and blankets. The party was in the evening and was like a slumber party, but in the end all the party guests slept in their own beds! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

He spent the morning trying to get the hang of the bigger bike. He got a little too confident on our rocky, hilly driveway and...WIPED OUT! <br />

I was up until 3 AM the night before prepping for the party. Although I felt exhausted, all the time and energy was worth it to see how happy Noah was. I kept hearing him say, "Zoe look at what Mommy made" and "Wow, look at that!" All the details were definitely noticed by my little man. Thanks to all the friends who made the trek up the hill to spend the day celebrating our (almost) 5 year old!!!!<br />

Noah finished his first soccer season. He had a blast! After going to so many of Zoe's practices and games, he was so happy to finally have his turn. He played hard most games, and even scored his first goal towards the end of the season!

Zoe's soccer team had a tournament last weekend in Yuba City. The girls played some tough teams and although they didn't win their games, they played amazingly! It was such a fun experience for Zoe and a memory I'm sure she'll carry with her for a lifetime. The girls did win a trophy for the best costume! They certainly were a cute bunch of Oompa Loompas.Jill Macknickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09146153581857647339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596232346416315721.post-67158135187943371322012-09-06T18:58:00.000-07:002012-09-06T18:58:34.290-07:00First Day of School<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
Let me go back and start at the beginning. In February, we got a post card in the mail with info. about the upcoming girls U10 competitive try outs. I didn't think much of it because Zoe wasn't old enough to play U10 soccer...she still had one more year of U8 soccer. Zoe however, gave the post card LOTS of thought. She wanted to know if she would be able to try out. After much persistence on her part, I promised I'd look into it. <br />
<div>
After doing some research I found out that on rare occasions they do let children who are too young try out for an older team. From my research, I also found out that although they sometimes let younger players tryout, If an underage player will displace an age-appropriate player, the underage player will not be approved to play on the older age team, even if the younger player is a more skilled player. An age-appropriate player who shows promise as a developing soccer player cannot be displaced by the underage player. In this case, the underage player will be required to play at his/her appropriate-age level.</div>
<div>
Approval to tryout requires talking with a Humboldt Youth Soccer League board member and petitioning the HYSL board by pleading your child's case. When I found that out, I passed the information on to Zoe. I figured I had done my homework and that it would end there...I was WRONG. Zoe repeatedly asked if I would petition the board. After more persistence, I did write a letter to the HYSL board. The decision was out of my hands. A couple of weeks past and I received an email saying Zoe was allowed to try out because a previous year's coach felt she could handle moving up to U10's. </div>
<div>
We prepared Zoe mentally for tryouts...letting her know that there was a good chance she might not make the team because of her age. She said she understood and gave tryouts her all. In the end, as most of you who read my blog know, she made the team. She was so proud of her accomplishment. Now, fast forward to July...Zoe has been very busy with soccer practice. She currently has practice 3 times a week for 1 1/2 hours each practice. From the bits and pieces of practice I watch she seems to being doing great. Yesterday, I was talking with her coach. He let me know just how great she was doing. He told me he had been coach for years and that he knew Zoe was going to go far if she kept working as hard as she was. He also told me that even if they hadn't decided to form 2 competitive teams this year, Zoe was still one of his top picks and that she would have made the team (despite the age clause I had found out during my research) </div>
<div>
Needless to say, we are SUPER proud of our little soccer player!</div>Jill Macknickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09146153581857647339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596232346416315721.post-62551561647474322602012-06-02T20:01:00.001-07:002012-06-02T20:03:40.638-07:00Let's Go Fly A Kite<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;">On Saturday, May 5, 2012 the family participated in the 4th Annual Kneeland Fun Run. Noah took 3rd in the 100 meters, and was lucky to cross the finish line in the 1/4 mile after three falls, two bloody knees, and one scraped cheek. Zoe took 4th in the 1/4 mile and snagged one of the medals for being 3rd in the 5K. Way to go little Macknickis!</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">6:26 P.M. Full Eclipse</span></div>
<br />
On Sunday, our little spot on the hill became an attraction for many people who were hoping to beat the cloud cover and view the annual eclipse of the sun. The Astronomers of Humboldt invited the public out to the Kneeland Airport to observe the eclipse. The club had a public viewing area with eclipse glasses, pinhole cameras, and telescopes with special filters that allowed observers to view the sun without harming their eyes. While hundreds for people flocked up the hill, we watched the eclipse from the comfort of our deck. Steve made a filter for our camera and snapped many photos of the phases of the eclipse (more photos to come). He also snapped a photo or two of all the "townies" heading up the hill to enjoy the eclipse from our little slice of heaven.Jill Macknickihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09146153581857647339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596232346416315721.post-28443938882963076562012-05-06T19:27:00.002-07:002012-05-06T19:35:38.384-07:00LalaloopsyZoe got her first Lalaloopsy doll for her birthday. She loves it (so do I). She used some birthday money to buy herself a second Lalaloopsy (so her first Lala could have a friend of course!) Since Noah wants to be just like his big sister, he too bought himself a boy Lalaoopsy. It's pretty sweet to watch them play with their Lalas.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">We started a new tradition this year...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">At each birthday party the girls who attend a birthday party get a charm </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">that matches the theme of the party. Another mom and I made bracelets </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">and the girls add a charm. We figure after years of parties the girls</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">will be able to look at their bracelets and have fond memories of the </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">birthday parties over the years. From this year alone, the girls have a fortune</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">cookie charm from a Chinese Tea Party, a sewing machine charm from Zoe's </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Sewing Party, and a flower charm from a Fairy Party.</span><br />

He celebrated by having a construction themed birthday party...his first birthday party EVER! After watching from the sidelines as Zoe has had her birthday parties the last few years, he was thrilled to be the center of attention. We kept the party small and everyone had a great time!<br />
