father's day

We had a fun day celebrating all the dads in our life.  We started out by making a superhero breakfast for Daddy.

After church and naps, we played a little in the backyard.

We had our families come over for dinner.  We had pizza, cookies, brownies, and ice cream.  Easy peasy!

I walked in on Carter smelling the cookies...too cute!

We had a good time hanging out in the backyard with everyone.

Grace got to serve lemonade...which is like the greatest thing ever to her!

Charlie and Carter played really well together which is so nice to see!

The dads...our real life superheros!!!

These kiddos are so blessed to have some pretty amazing dads in their lives!

Happy Father's Day!!!

if you are ever wondering what we are doing during the day...here is your answer.

i {heart} summer!!!

i was really NEEDING to paint something!!!  what did i choose?!?

we had a summertime picnic.

seriously, summer is the best!

grace got put in jail at sonwest roundup vbs. ha!

we went swimming after vbs at aunt terri's pool.  so much fun!!!  carter loves the "pool water" and grace is swimming without floaties!

she fell asleep playing...i guess she decided that she needed a nap after all.

carter man kicked daddy out of bed...he was sick.  so sad!

carter and i missed the last day of vbs, but we he had so much fun watching the garbage truck!  after the garbage truck left, he decided that he was going to wait on a train.  ha! (that didn't last long)

he is obsessed with the vbs music!  he is practicing for vbs family night...learning the words and making up his own dance moves.  that is the cutest pink cowboy with a saggy diaper EVER!

play in the sunshine this weekend!

so...we fed some giraffes

Grace's First Soccer Season

I would count Grace's first soccer season as a success!  We all had so much fun.  I loved watching her play and she loved playing!

Doesn't that look like the face of someone having fun?!?

She played really hard and really good (when she wanted to).

Of course, having your "best boy cousin" on your team makes it all the more fun.  The first half of the season these two were pretty much inseparable both on and off the field.

But...who wouldn't want to hang out with this cutie?  I mean, seriously, who?

During her last game, she was determined to play hard and she did!

dribbling

scoring

stealing the ball (even from her own team)

And, she scores!!!

three goals in one game...her best game yet!

She had this one red-headed fan that was at, like, every game.  When he wasn't cheering for her, he was attempting to play with her.  ya know...on the field.  

In her opinion, the best part of playing soccer was running through the tUNnEl at the end of the game...

...and the SnaCKs!!!

My favorite part of soccer has got to be this team photo.  This has got to be the ca-ute-est soccer team e-ver!  Jerry Borwick did an amazing job!!!

We ended the season with a soccer celebration!  The kids played a little soccer and ate some pizza and popsicles!

Even that red-headed soccer fan showed up and he ate more pizza than the players!

Grace got her very first trophy and was so proud of it!

And...I am so proud of her!
