Undefeated!!

Paxton just finished up his basketball season on the Buccaneers at the end of February. His team was undefeated, more than that they were awesome! Most games were 50+ points to about 4 for the other team. We just got lucky with great kids or maybe it was their awesome coach, right Josh? Anyway, we had a great time watching Paxton play! He scored about 6-10 points per game on average and was a great defensive player. Paxton enjoyed playing with one of his best friends from school, Colton. Of course having Josh as the coach made the experience fun as well. Paxton loved his trophy that he got at the end of the season party, adding to his collection of trophies! Love it!

Now it's on to soccer season, where our athlete scored 3 goals on Saturday and 7 goals on Sunday, nice! We are so proud of you buddy!

Love this shot!

The kids loved running through the sign each week as they announced their team. Sometimes they even had a smoke machine!

Paxton played on the Upward league, which is nationwide. They play at churches and always start and end with a prayer and devotional at half time. We were very impressed with their spiritual emphasis and organization.

Check out my b-ball skills and moves!

The kids LOVED Coach Josh. Bless his heart, he coached soccer, straight to basketball and now he coaching soccer again, what a good Daddy!

Great season, my man!

Lorelei Time

Last week was parent week at Lorelei's ballet so I got to go in and take lots of sweet pictures of little Miss Priss doing her thang! She loves ballet and Loves her teacher Ms. Bernie! I am so proud of how far she has advanced over the past two years in ballet, she really does a nice job!

Ballet has been so fun for both of us. We have been with the same group of girls for the past two years and every Friday after ballet we have play group with these girls. And there have been lots of birthday parties as well! It has been a special treat to have Lorelei home on Fridays from school so we can share this special day together every week!

Sorry for the bad pictures here, my camera battery died and I had to use my cell phone for those two pictures! Oops!

Ms. Bernie and the girls!

Lorelei likes to sit right next to the teacher. I think she would take over if Ms. Bernie let her.

Today was also a very special time for Lorelei. Today was the father/daughter dance at ballet. Lorelei has been looking forward to her special date with daddy for a while now! They were going to have a dance and a tea party at her ballet studio. Daddy was a little bit excited too, I love how happy they both look in these pics!

Lorelei in Wonderland

Lorelei gets to have "fun week" on the last Friday of every month in her ballet/tap class. So here is Lorelei in Wonderland ready to tap it out for dance class!

Oops! Christmas Day!

So I have nearly forgotten what happened on Christmas Day but I did remember that I haven't posted pictures of it. I have been camera lazy lately and not very good about taking lots of pictures anyway. Here are a few from Christmas Day. It was a different day for our family for many reasons that I won't get into, but we had fun.
The kids were super excited on Christmas morning, as you can see on their silly little faces! I think they were pleased with what Santa left them and of course he wrote back to them on the letters they left for him as well.

Paxton's stash

Love that face, it captures it all for the day!

He is very excited about Donkey Kong vs Mario Bro. DS game.

Lorelei was all about Rapunzel this Christmas season.

Christmas day love!

More Rapunzel love.

At Lorelei's school they have a Secret Santa shop, where the kids go and shop for their family members. Daddy loves his new flashlight that Lorelei picked out.

Nothing says joy like a Hello Kitty water bottle.

We got to spend Christmas Day with my sister and her family who came up from Florida. Here I am with my cute little nephew Junior. Isn't he just precious?

Lorelei loved playing with Junior and Veronica too!

Lorelei, Grandmama and Veronica, the only two girls out of 9 grandchildren!

So yes, boo on me because these are the only pictures I took on Christmas Day 2010. Like I said, it was a different day for us, but no excuse, next year I shall return to my way too many picture taking skills!

Some late Fall Pictures

We had these pictures done in late November but I was using some of them for our Christmas cards. Josh and I loved how these turned out. We knew Lorelei could give us the "look" but had no idea Paxton had it too! LOL!

Look, Paxton is levitating!
