Chase's 1st Soccer Season

Chase's 1st soccer season is coming to a close…he had a great time at every practice and game, as long as he didn't have to "steal" the ball. He is so good at dribbling as long as he doesn't face opposition. It's really funny to watch him run around aimlessly because he doesn't want to go near the ball during game time. That may mean confronting the other team! Instead, he prefers to run around the action…cross country style. His coach says that the way he acts is totally normal for his age/first time playing. We are going to try t-ball next. Not as much direct competition :)

Mike had a great time acting as assistant coach!

And here are a few of Auds exploring….she loves to be in the playroom with her toys & Chase's too!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I know that my pictures on my photography blog and this blog have been overlapping a bit. And for those of you that read both (thank you!) I apologize…but this is the blog that I print out every year so if I have memories on the photo blog that I want to keep for good, I have to document them here too. So, bear with me on these posts (did you know you are supposed to say "bear," not "bare?") Apparently "bare with me" would be an invitation to undress. Definitely not what I want to imply on this here family blog :). 

This is a little project that Chase & Skylar did together for Valentine's Day (and for a photo project!)…they are just too cute together and I don't know what I will do if and when they do not see each other almost every.single.day!

10 on 1 | February

For those of you who follow my blog, you know I am an avid fan of The Bloom Forum. It is a wonderful place where I can learn, grow and share. This month I continue a new project and a new opportunity for me to document my family. Plain, uncensored, and real. It is not only a way for me to join a fabulous group of girls for some photo fun, it is a way for me to connect with my family and remember the little things about life that make it so sweet. This project is pretty simple: 10 photos in one day | taken roughly every hour for 10 hours | posted on the 10th of the month. I hope you join me on this new photo journey and then head on over to the fabulous Alison Crane, San Francisco Bay photographer,  to see her images for the day. xoxo

Last night we took Chase out to see the landing planes @ McCarran. Fitting since he has a VERY boy like obsession with any form of transportation!
