forgotten soccer pics

Oops ... this is one of the photos I was talking about for Grady ... swim gear and cowboy boots!

soccer monsters

Here are a few pics from the 2 times I remembered to take my camera. As you can see, Grady likes to wear his swim shirt and swim trunks all the time ... and usually with his cowboy boots and sometimes with his bike helmet even though we walked there. He makes quite a style statement as a soccer spectator. I never saw Keithan play a game - just practice with his team, so the pics of him are not as great (was also visiting with another mom and likely missed a 100 opportunities for better shots!). Rhett and Keithan both had a fun first season, but I must admit I`m glad it is over, for now. I am sure we will be doing it again but I need a break from this crazy schedule. I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SUMMER VACATION!!!! Today is the last day of school for our kids. Yahoo!

fabulous few minutes

The kids and I felt so lucky that we were able to take a quick trip down to Lloydminster to see Uncle Keith, even if it was only for a couple hours. He looked pretty good, sounded good and his hugs still felt the same!! Was also very special to see Grandma O again! As you can see we tried very hard to get a group shot with Grandma, Uncle Keith and the great grand-kids. It was entertaining! While Wendy tried to get all the kids to cooperate and look at the camera I enjoyed snapping a few close-ups. I was so happy for how they turned out ... for me and my lowly photography skills and point and shoot camera!! Hope you enjoy them too! Sometime soon I'd like to experiment with photo editing - but for now what you see is what you get!

Colby - the cutest brown eyed boy who always seemed to have a snack or two in his hands

Brennan - the cute, camera shy boy

Amy - or maybe a clone of Samara

Ella - just a little hair-styling gone terribly wrong underneath that cute headscarf

Samara - she enjoys speaking for herself :-) p.s. hope she always finds all the videos of herself singing and dancing and performing funny and not embarrassing.

Keithan - who seems to get taller every time I turn around

Rhett - the soon to be school boy, who makes sure you know about it

Grady - my "no more baby" boy (FYI - now fully out of diapers and NO accidents on this trip - can you hear me cheer from where you are?)
