Friday night Flash Football with Friends :)

I love this! Matthew can't stand playing football but Pryce said, "Come on, be athletic!" hahaha He went out there and really gave him a run for his money. :) 

Thoughtful

Thoughtfully summarizing what she read in her book. Perfect theme for Thursday. :) Love having this girl in my carpool. She adds a bit of character to my bunch of boys...and of course a bit of girliness with her berry smelling hand-santizier she is always busting out. ;)

Ella

Isn't she sweet? She comes from another family that we love. Sheesh we got to see a bunch of people this weekend that mean so much to us. I had the camera out and she just kept plopping herself right in front of it, so of course I had to let her be my pic.

Critter, Isrealia, and baby doll!

I watched my friends sweet little girl today and her and Critter had fun. She was so funny though. When we went to the store she was insistent that we bring her baby doll and her purse and her baby's bag. She wanted to bring the stroller too but I had to put my foot down somewhere. :) It took us forever to get out the door. hahaha

Angela and Alaina

Love these two. We have known them for over 12 years. They came for a super short visit to obtain some old Africa photos that Eddie had from past mission trips.

Aguilars

This family is amazing! Christine is missing but we love them all. They are so gracious and gospel centered. They have been good friends to us and we appreciate them so much. Love the girls. :)

School Time

This is Daniel's first year in school ever. He is only going two days a week but is excited to be with his buddy Parker featured in the second window. Excited for all my boys. Excited for the year. Looking forward to their growth and mine. :)

Tracy

I got to work with my friend Tracy again on a wedding. It is so much fun to shoot with her. She has so much energy. She was searching for the perfect light and this is the spot where she found it so I snapped one of her....since she was so excited. 

Full House

Can't wait until they keep bringing more friends over. This was fun. I love having a full house of boys!!

Annabel-second time around

I was following her around with my iPhone desperately trying to get her to smile and be cute for me. Not that she isn't already totally adorable but she isn't normally happy around strangers and takes awhile to warm up to them. She wasn't very happy with us last time. Her and Critter started having fun together 1/2 way into their visit. Yea! :)

Skate Night!!

Oh my goodness!! We had so much fun. A bunch of couples from church rented out the local Old School skate rink and had an absolute blast. Skating was practically all I did when I was little and I loved getting back in the rink. We are definitely going back...they even have family night. Woo hoo!  Rosy was the best. She was fast and fun and beat the boys in the race. Yes!!! Her and David even did a little under the leg pull- through...fancy and daring. Love it. Loved her. Great fun!!

Pinkstaff Boys!

We have known these boys, Noah and Jordon, for a long time but have never spent nearly enough time with them. We just happened to move about a mile from them and we are all so glad. Patience, my friend and their mother, asked me watch them today while she went to SD with her little girl. They had a blast with my boys. I told them to get close for the picture and one of my boys piped up and said, "Kiss him!", hence Noah's funny face and moving out of my focal point. :)))

Dog on Friend!!

I caught these two on the side of my friends house giggling and having a great time. 

A new friend!!

We visited some friends today but Critter and Sully have never really played together. He finally is old enough to even be half way fun for her. She is 4. Isn't she sweet? He wasn't exactly the most charming new friend for her to play with but he eventually warmed up to her and even kissed her when they were sharing a snack. Super cute. I love the size of their watermelon piece on their plate. So funny!

Roomies

Linda was my very easy going roommate at the Academy. We hung out most of the time together as we learned to hit the streets and share the good news. :)

Carrie, my new friend!

This was my mentor at the Academy. She is fearless. Here you can see she is preaching God to a goddess. hahaha...  We share a team together, we shared the gospel, and we shared a meal of SUSHI. She was awesome!!

Tony Miano

This is the man! He is the leader of the Ambassador's Alliance Academy and he is a huge encouragement. Man does he know how to light the fire under you to get out and preach the gospel. :)

Hannah- a little lady!

 

Hannah Wood at 13 and quite the little lady. I have known her family for 7 years now and they wanted to do pictures. Here is one of my favorites.  

Kelly Skiff

 

One of our favorite babysitters ever. We have known her since she was 9 and she has been such a blessing. She was my right hand lady after Christopher was born and would come over a couple of times a week just to help out with EVERYTHING. Daniel was missing her so we had her over for dinner at the new house. We love her!!

Riding Off

We have been saying Jesse could go riding off on his own for some time now but with the move and all that is going on it just hasn't happened and he hasn't been interested UNTIL Jon took him riding the other day. He is a pro BMX rider and Jesse was thrilled to go on a ride with him alone. So when Peyton came over today they were off....no time wasted once we got home. They were gone.
