Soccer Mom

It's soccer season again... And, yes, I really am a soccer mom. As much as I hate having practice two nights a week, Sam loves to play soccer and he's gotten so good at it.


It was Sam's first game last Friday and he scored a goal, as well as making several great plays throughout the game. Here's the shot that made it in!

Sam has played with this team for 3 of the last 4 years and the coach is just awesome.

He has several night games this year, and it's really fun to watch because they play so well (and it's not so hot as the daytime games).


Josh would rather hang out in the trees. Notice the monkey on the shirt matches the monkey in the tree.

And Lexi just likes to eat the dirt.

But it's a fun family event, and totally worth all the hassle of practicing to see Sam doing so great (even if Josh and Lexi don't fully enjoy watching the whole game...)

Hop On Pop

Family fun on Sunday afternoon... We were trying for a family photo shoot, but this is my favorite shot.

I Love Elephants

new camera, new photos

I finally got a new camera to "take product shots for our company" (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!), and of course, I had to "practice" a little on the kids. Here are some of my favorites.

Around the house...

See my ponies? (Lexi finally has enough hair for a style!)

Putting on "my make-ups"

Do you like Lexi's eyeshadow?
(NO it's not a black eye. It's make up. We're in so much trouble!)
In the pool...

Lexi takes a dive...

And Two Shows...

(sorry, this is all my little camera had room for... wish I had them all!)

Family Reuion Fun

Rather than trying to catch up for our delinquency in posting, we'll just start now and try to do better. We had so much fun at the family reunion. Here are a bunch of pics. And, remember, a picture is worth a thousand words!

Summer of Birthdays

June is our month of Birthdays. Here are a few pics of all the fun. The boys each got to pick an adventure with a friend and then we just had a family party for them.

Sam wanted doughnuts instead of a cake.


Josh picked a hot fudge brownie sundae instead of cake.







Lexi had her favorite cousins, Shayla, Ally, and "Baby Ash", and her "boys" (Sam & Josh) at her Princess birthday party. And of course there was a PINK Cake.
