Three Girl's in White and Denim

I had these almost matching outfits -so I tried to take a few shots before heading to the library when Amber T. was at our place. :) (because going to the library with five alone is not quite as simple...) :)

Laura's face - so cute. And Amy's hair elastic "bracelet" - she wears them EVERY day - and if I'm wearing a colored one in my hair, she asks for it.

I can totally picture her being the hemp bracelet wearing, sporty sunglass, hiking girl.. :) 

Amy has this natural posing charm that makes me laugh. 

And the threesome. 

Kisses for baby sister

Leanne's Four Months

 Love this shot - just so happy. :) 

Just bits of Life

Just some pictures from this summer...

James fixing our gazebo - since we got a replacement cover for it.

Having Mary and Cathy over for an evening.

Sunday lunch - with Hudson over, and three of four girls matching. :) 

And side note - don't you love my big clock..? I love it - can see it from everywhere. :) 

Splash Pad Fun

We went to Burford's splash pad a couple times this summer - and the kids loved it. 

We met up with Cealey - a friend that lives nearby. She was so sweet with the kids, and got right in the water with them. 

Had a nice time catching up together - such a great gal. 

Love the splash!!

What a gift to have water to play in  - and it's clean and safe... we are blessed. 

Chili Cookoff

Time for the Chapel's chili cook off contest - and here are the judges.

Though James won last time, Brad took it home this time. :) 

Steph and Glenda. 

Brad and Diane are so hospitable and had everyone over to their place - it was so nice. 

Janice and me. 

Dear Mrs. McElrea - such a servant hearted woman. Never complaining, always loving. 

I took Rachel to the forest so I could practice on her. :) And then some of the other girls joined in and we took more pictures. :) 

Sisters :) 

And Althea and Sarah ran in to get in the shot too. 

And just the Padusenko/Tremblay girls. 

Sweet Elita. She is such a caring girl. 

The End of Soccer

And just like that - our soccer season ended.

The grass went from green to crunchy, haystack yellow. 

Hudson giving it a kick.

Amy playing in the sand pit. 

At the playground

Uncle William snuck in behind her and picked her up. 

Blue, blue and blue eyes. 

With Auntie Amanda. 

For part of the last game, the parents can play too - so James joined Katelyn's team. 

Love her smile. 

Kinda fun - cause she's wearing the number and color James wore when he was in men's soccer for a bit. 

Red faced and happy. 

William took a couple of these - doing the handshakes to the other team/coaches. 

The JK/SK team 

They were called the "Smarties" team. 

With their coaches. 

Erik getting his medal of participation. 

The last Bible lesson. 

These two - with their ice-cream that Central gave out to everyone. 

Photo bombed by Uncle William - so nice they could come out to the last game. 

The three of them.
