My Cheerleader

My little Angel, Bailey, at her Homecoming with her
daddy, Billy. She didn't want to walk with a boy this
year except her Daddy. This is her 4th year cheering
and she just loves it. She cheers for the Bill Arp Falcons
for the 7&8 year old teams.

Joshua and the Superdragons

Joshua's soccer team has been playing together for almost a month now. They are still undefeated!! He plays every Saturday and I get nervous throughout the whole game because I want them to stay #1!!! I think I take it more serious than the kids do. You can tell that in the picture of him with his friend at the end of the game.
