Soccer tournament and special guests!

We had such a special weekend - Grandma & Grandpa Pierce came down to visit for a couple of days! We really appreciate them taking the time to make the long drive down to see us. Pierce had a soccer tournament and we were happy that they could come & see him play. He and his team are a lot of fun to watch play soccer. They had a couple of good games and he scored 3 times, which was lots of fun.  Somehow I avoided taking any pictures with Grandma & Grandpa... sorry... we love you and were so glad that you came!

Our silly Zoe didn't want to be cold... you never know around here this spring - it's been pretty cold and windy - but it was only a little chilly, and the hat & mittens soon came off.


I love this hat.  I made it for Zoe at the end of winter, and then didn't get a picture of her wearing it when it was actually cold out.  She also loves these white shiny mittens which I believe Santa gave her a couple of years ago.  The whole ensemble is 100% Zoe.


I love their faces when they are playing.




Pierce is always so relieved when he scores.  He took a LOT of good shots during these 2 games - he really wanted to score!  Once he does, we all feel much better.

Mother's day family portraits

I'm stilllllll not done posting vacation pictures. And I even went through them all this last week, working on a little project which I can't write about here for a couple more days. :) But I will get back with them soon. In the meantime I wanted to post our family pictures from yesterday. I love my family so much! I'm really grateful that they humor me once a year on Mother's Day with some "official" family portraits.
