Color Challenge and Mother's Day Card

The latest color challenge at Design Dollies....
As soon as I seen these colors I thought of sky, grass, and trees with a few clouds... Here is my creation.

Very late to post....my mother's day card for my mother this year.

Soccer, Soccer and more Soccer....

Last weekend we spent lots of time cheering from the sidelines for the girls and their soccer teams. Sam and Casey each participated in the Fleetwood tournament.
Mikayla looking cool on the sideline... Sam in action...

Casey in action...

Alexis was taking photos with Elmo...

What a beautiful smile...

Go Casey....

Handsome hubby flagging the sidelines (I remember my dad doing this for my soccer games as a kid)...

Sam...

Casey's team placed 1st in their division....Congratulations girls!

Sam in action...

And Sam's team also placed 1st in their division....Way to go girls!

Mikayla had her last two games for this season this week. I was coaching on the sideline with a camera in hand. She's getting a little more aggressive....

Go Mikayla Go!

Chasing the ball (along with all the other players on the field! LOL)...

Then Mikayla wanted to play goalie. Honestly, I was a little hesitant to put her in.....but, she did awesome! She came out and grabbed the ball away from the other team and wasn't afraid to get in the action. I was so proud of her....maybe she'll be a goalie just like mommy! (I would love that.)

So lots of nights filled with soccer events, but we wouldn't want it any other way. We really enjoy watching the girls play.

Beach pictures

Love to share some beach photos from our recent vacation to North Carolina. It was nice enough to walk along the beach, but not quite warm enough to enjoy the water.
