Peter Playing Soccer!

I wanted to post these pictures of Peter playing soccer last weekend. He had a good game and even scored a goal. My neighbor took these pictures and sent them to me. I was amazed at the action she was able to capture. I have been taking pictures of Peter playing soccer for 5 years now and I have never been able to capture the action. I asked her how she did it and she told me she took over 400 pictures at this single game. This seems to be a common factor of all my friends that capture great pictures. I am glad I can benefit from their patience and great talents!

Last Day of Warm Weather!

Today we had a 5K to support our school's new walking track. Peter did a great job and finished in 27 minutes. It was fun to see how excited he was about this race. He had run the mile ealier in the week and had done really well. We are hoping to get him involved in track next spring. The kids played in the water after because it is probably is one of the last warm days. Sara and Molly had their Hello assembly this week and the cheerleaders performed. Sara did a great job and I am always surprised at the great tumbling her team can do!

Kate's New Creation

Kate has really been persistent about digital scrapbooking. Here is her second layout. I should take a few lessons from her because she can create a layout in a fraction of the time it takes me to do one. No wonder why my scrapbooks are so far behind.

Photos by my friend Amy!

A couple weeks ago I had my friend Amy at clipsandclicks.com do our family photo. After she put together these photos for fun. It is great to have such a talented friend who is willing to spend her time doing nice things for others!

Update!

Well no Clara and no Doll but Sara and Molly still ended up with very good parts. Molly will be a Page and Sara will dance in Snow. Also Ruby Jane (cousin) made it as an ornament. It will be a good year.

Nutcracker!

Well this weekend was the annual Nutcracker tryout! I was totally surprised at how well it went. Sara tried out for point and typically they only take 3 girls her age so I was not sure if she would make it. Not only did she make it but she got a call back for the part of the doll in the Party Scene. She was up against girls much older than her but just to get the call back was a great compliment. Molly also made it and got a call back for Clara for the second time. We won't know their parts until Tuesday, but it was a great day.
