Proudest Little Soccer Player On the Field

Olivia played soccer this year for the first time. She loved it, more than we ever thought she would. She still has some work to do to get the MVP award, but no one was more excited about her soccer trophey than this super player. This is the first trophey she has ever gotten and the joy of it was really fun to watch (by her 10th, I'm sure the novelty will wear off, but we sure are happy to celebrate this little bit of fun with her while it lasts!).

 

 

Here is her team (minus one player who ran off before the picture was taken). This is the "under 5" group, and just when you thought your daughter was tall, you meet the little one on the left...TALL.  It seems though that the little ones are the fastest, go figure.  Coach John was terrific and we are all looking forward to playing again in the spring.  GO MERMAIDS!

Pictures Tell the Whole Story

We love this picture, taken in the Summer of 2013.  It really shows the girls' personalities!

 

Halloween 2013



This was a special Halloween with our family of 5! Bellamie was not too fond of her first Halloween costume (thanks Mayhaks for the cute pumpkin hat), but she was much happier chilling in her little onesie while sitting on Daddy's lap.  We had a fun year, with Daddy taking the big (Olivia) and middle (Harlow) out for trick or treating, and Bellamie and Mommy home handing out candy.  Tag-teaming, our new MO.

 

Olivia was a pirate by day, and Ariel by night. Harlow was happy to be a comfy monkey all day...

While we got a few good shots of the family, this is what most of our pictures look like these days! Ha!  It takes about 10 shots to get one decent one.  (No one was hurt in the making of this picture :).

Three of our 5 pumpkins...the kids loved them.
