Go Flames!

Last Saturday was the last tournament game this season for Sydney. It has been so fun to watch her and her team learn and grow. They did so Awesome on Saturday. They really hit their groove and They won all of their games!! Six games, one day, all won! They took first at the tournament and you could tell how excited and proud they were! I over heard the coach saying how good they were doing and they were still so young and haven't gotten the "killer" spirit yet. It's so true. They have fun out there and they are a REALLY nice group of girls. But....I think the feel of winning 1st may have wet their appetite for more and ignited a little of that spirit that is sure to come....hopefully on May 2nd when they play regional's!

The Flames - how cute are they!

Easter

We had a beautiful Easter. Amy and the girls joined us for church and after we came back to our house for Easter baskets and an egg hunt! It was so fun to have them join us. Then later we had everyone over for dinner and just to hang out. It was a great day and everyone had a good night sleep after the sugar rush wore off!

This face sums up the day!

Payback.

On Easter all I wanted was a picture of my kids together. smiling. is this to much to ask for?

I guess after an Easter basket and a few dozen eggs full of candy ...it is.

So, I decided to go ahead and post some of the pictures they took even with out just a smile. maybe they'll learn. I doubt it. Hope you get as big of a laugh as I did at some of these! Ya those are mine.

the flower is actually in Rylees hair :)

What a bunch of toads. One normal picture. oh well...where's the fun in normal right? but, for all of you with kids my kids age....feel free to share these:) ya....i think i may get the picture I want next time.
