lucky day!

we went on a drive up the canyon on sunday evening as a family. i wanted to get pics of the kids with the leaves and some pictures of libby in her baptism dress. (baptism in november) sooo, i found a place to take some pictures of her and a guy came and told me i had to pay 25 dollars or leave. i left. we kept driving and all of a sudden we saw jon and chari's family. lucky day!!! chari had her camera and took over. i could never have gotten these amazing shots of my little libbers. thank you charleena!! i love them!

here's the one pic i took before i got the boot. yes, i agree, it's a darn good thing chari took over. i suck at all things photography, culinary, computery, and crafty related. :(

soccer season = insane mother

libby and indie decided they wanted to try soccer this year after being chase's faithful cheerleaders for so many years. ALL three of them have their games on ALL the same days and ALL the times overlap and ALL the fields are in different corners of a very very large soccer complex. let's just say i'm not at my finest on these days.

what posers! i love it!

indie is on the pink panthers, and tears it up out there, she's always right in the crowd of 10 four year olds chasing after the ball.

indie got busted for her aggressive pushing and had to apologize and shake hands with the unfortunate little girl that became indie's victim.

libby is super lucky to have her grandpa be the assistant coach of her team, the violent violets. grandpa is the best coach ever! libby surprised me and is just as awesome on the soccer field as she is the dance floor.

libby and her violent violet friends.

chase has improved so much this year on his competitive team, the torpedoes. it is so fun to watch him get into the games. i haven't done a good job of capturing his skills, i need a big zoom lense thingy. not that i'd know what to do with it.

the cutest, most supportive baby sister ever.

i love this pic of the littlest monster.

aa orem city champs!!

chase was lucky to be on the royals this year. they won their league in a nail biter ending. they were undefeated until the game before the last. very tense moments for the mothers.

victory!!!!

chase had the most intricate prep before he pitched. ask grandpa brad to demonstrate if you're curious.

chase and ethan showing off their awesome trophies! way to go guys!!!

number one! wahooooooooo!!!!!
