Soccer Star

This is Harrison's third soccer season and he is loving it.  We debated on signing him up since Jeff is busy with school every other weekend and I end up with all 3 kids by myself at every other game, but he wanted to play.  And he has done really well.  He has scored some great goals and really loves to play defense.  He also gets really excited for his team mates and cheers really well for his whole team.

I am pretty busy during the game so I brought my camera one week when Jeff was there and managed to get some good shotes and document his soccer season.

Huddle with the coach.

His sister wondering during the game.

That's some good defense.

Harrison's cheering section in the background.

The next few are a sequence of Harrison scoring a goal.  I was pretty proud.

He's pretty proud too!

I'm glad he likes soccer and I think we will be watching him play for many seasons to come.

Bode's 1 year pictures

I haven't had a chance to edit these, but I still thought they were good.  And I'm so behind on editing that I might never catch up, so I figured I should just post them now.  I think I captured some very Bode-esque faces too.

It was hard getting some good shots of her because she doesn't like to sit still, but I think I did ok:)

Some everyday life

Having some fun.  This girl loves to twirl and dance.  This was her outfit of choice this day for her twirls...this girl is a free spirit!

Excited to be eating.

Hanging out at Harrison's soccer game (more on that later)

Playing outside.  She thinks she is old enough to ride the trike!

She wanted to sit with her brother...he wanted to hold her.  I think she is getting to big.

Harrison comes up with all sorts of fun Lego creations.  This was some sort of space ship/rocket/ninja fighter.

It takes a lot of concentration.

And a lot of work stealing the iPad...busted.

And this girl loves to pose...she always wants me to take her picture and then insists on seeing it when we are done.

Nothing like a Lego loving, butterfly, jedi master jumping around the house!

We went to a birthday party with a ball pit and this girl was in heaven.

And now we have a black ninja, jedi master, super hero.  Pretty blurry, but this kid is too busy showing his moves to hold still for a picture.

And we finally got her to stand up on her bike.  She fell a while ago and hasn't wanted to ride for along time so just getting her to walk with her bike is a big deal.
