Family Pictures 2015

I was so excited to have our family pictures taken. I always get a little nervous before pictures, but then I remember how grateful I am to have a family to take pictures with. I remember before we had kids, I couldn't wait for the day that we had children to take pictures with. Now when we get pictures taken, I honestly do not expect much from my kids. I just want their personalities captured. We usually do not have that perfect family photo, but we have a lot of candid pictures that captures the love my family has for each other. I love that!!

The Tangerine Tigers....

 Reese started playing soccer again and ended up on a really good team. It was interesting that this year she wasn't as engaged as she had been in the Spring. We were not quite sure why, but she really didn't want to play and she didn't even go after the ball. I think part of the problem was that Reese is pretty timid when it comes to soccer and she had a lot of aggressive girls on her team that loved to score and would take the ball away from each other. Her coach would tell the girls many times during the game, "Don't take the ball away from each other." If you tell Reese this, she will make sure that she doesn't take the ball away. I'm not sure what happened exactly, but this soccer season was one to chalk up on the board and say that we did it! Yay team! Good job Reesie! Your cartwheels on the field were amazing!!! Love my sweet gymnastics girl!
