Spit Fire!!

Rylie is my most challenging out of the three kids.... she is very demanding, bossy, energetic,
loud, makes the rules, changes the rules to suit her, and very bright!!! some days, she is loads
of work ;) must have something to do w/ the red hair.I'm sure that one day when she is
older, all of these attributes will serve her well!!
But at the end of the day when it's all said and done and i look at this face, red hair and freckles, all i can do is smile and thank God for her!! She is one of a kind.....

Recital Time!!

I finished up the last group of little dancers last week, this was rylie's group... i was fairly
anxious to do them because she was going to be in them... as it turned out she
ended up being so sick! she came down with strep over the weekend and didn't get to be in any
of the photos! i'm hoping i can get some kind of group photo this weekend coming up, given
the fact that it's RECITAL weekend!! FINALLY!!! The kids will be marching and riding in a
wagon during the Lakermesse festival on the 27th, so i'm sure i will have some images to post
from that.

It's so funny, now that i do photography.... my kids are always pointing things out to me,
they always seem to find things for me to take photos of... for instance, the other day, they
were playing around the dog house and happened to notice this spider web, they started
yelling.... mom!! go get your camera, you should take a picture of this spider web!! sooo...
naturally i had to check it out!! pretty cool huh??

This will probably be my last batch of little league images that i will post for this year,
the season is finally winding down for us.... yay!! just one more game for each of them
this week, and then the season end celebrations.
My little guy got to catch this weekend... he was so cute! I think the equipment was bigger
than he was! they had a good season ( pee wees) they tied every game!! ;) funny how that
happened. Karaghan will have a play off game monday afternoon, if they lose they will be com-
pletely done, then at 7:00 pm she will be having a 5th grade celebration ( kinda like a mini
graduation) to promote them to middle school!!! I'm predicting some tears at this somewhat
joyous occasion..... my little girl is growing up!!

Gliding!

We have this big open field next to our house, and we often see these motorized hang gliders
above our house! I took the kids over to the field this weekend and got to watch them take off
and land... they literally land on their feet! It's pretty amazing to watch!! They also give lessons
if anyone is interested!!

HOT HOT HOT!!

We decided to put our pool up this week, we have one of the newer versions of the soft
pool, but little did we know, that we couldn't get any water delivered until tomorrow (monday).
we were late getting our call in, so they were done delivering for the weekend!
so we thought we'd put the hose in and start filling it ourselves.....
little did we know that only having about 5- 6 inches of water could be sooo much fun!!!
The kids thought they'd be creative and put the slip n slide right inside the pool!!

I had a mom ask me if i would take some photos of her sons lacrosse game, he's been playing
for 4 years and she hadn't taken one photo of him...
let' just say WOW!! I've never been to a lacrosse game before!! my kids aren't old enough to play that sport just yet, and after watching his game.... yikes! not sure if i want them to!!
i couldn't get over how aggressive this sport was, exciting though.... anyway the team(Thornton
Academy) went undefeated this year!! congratulations TA!!

I spent a saturday doing some dance studio photo sessions ranging from 3 years old to 11& 12
yrs old! let me tell you i was pooped after that!!
some of the girls were in 3 different numbers so that meant they had 3 different costumes!
and it meant 3 different individual photos of them in the 3 different costumes!! try keeping track of all that and then rememebering their names to boot! It was fun though, i loved seening them all dressed up, they were sooo adorable, then i had a few that had better things
to do than having their photo taken!
Monday i will be doing my daughters class so i'll post some of those for you to see as well...
