Brett's last soccer game

Brett had his last game on Saturday and he was soooo excited because he knew it was "TROPHY" day!
He has been waiting all season to get his hands on his trophy. He sees all the trophies that the big kids have and he really wanted one of his own. When he finally got it he was so happy that he has been carrying it around with him. He is very proud of it.

Laughter

This weeks contest @ i heart faces was "laughter". Let me tell you this one is a hard one to catch on film. I had to search my albums to come up with this picture of Reese laughing and swinging when she was about 9 months old.

Parker's Birthday

Yesterday (Cinco de Mayo) was Parker's "Birthday"- actually the day the rescue found him- but we decided to designate it as his birthday. He is 3! The kids wanted to make "pupcakes" to celebrate so we did our best to make them look like Parker. I don't think any of us have a career as a cake decorator in our futures but we had fun trying. Parker got to sample one sans icing. He ate it in one bite! He also got some big dog treats and a lot of love.

Whit's words

Ok, so I take care of this kid all day and what are his first words- "Poppy" and "Doggie". That's the thanks I get for all of my efforts. Oh well, maybe he will start saying "Mommy" soon!

I heart faces kids entry for "Hats"

I found this very cool photography website (www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com) that has weekly contests you can enter your photos in. I know my photos are not good enough to win anything especially since I know nothing about how to tweak them in "Photoshop" but I am trying to learn so I figured I would enter just for fun. This weeks category is "Hats". When I saw that I immediately thought of this picture I had take of Carson when she was a baby. I love the look on her face and the blue of her eyes and I especially like the way her ear is folded over by the hat.

5. Climb in computer chair and smash on the keyboard

Brett's latest soccer game

Brett had another game on Saturday. They were cute- as always. Brett got several goals despite suffering from a little bit of a cold and recovering from pink eye. His team has one more game and he is very excited to get his 1st trophy!
