We are so excited about sports this spring!!!Katelyn and Austin are both playing soccer and t-ball. The kids have different teams for soccer. This is the only season Katelyn will ever have a chance to play with Austin on the same team. Cody and I have taken the role as coaches for t-ball and are very excited!! We are starting practice this week and excited to see what the little ones can do!!! Katelyn and Austin have full schedules with all the sport and excited for them to be outside and get some winter energy out!!!!We have the oldest child on the team and as of right now we also have the youngest!!! The roster is still moving a round though!! Games for both sports are about in 3 weeks!!! I will post pics of them playing!!! I hope the season is great and we have alot of great ideas for the team!!!

The New Routine

Everyday will be different with our family. I have taken on a daycare position 3 days a week in my home of 3 children. It is really good for me and the kids. The first week was a little hard for Bryce, knowing that he had to give up toys and share with a 1 year old and a 2 1/2 year old. Now he is doing great and is a huge help. Austin is doing good too he loves to play with mason who is 5 years old. Katelyn is usually at school during this time so she isnt around. But when she is she loves to play with Audrey and do her hair. It has given me a different look on my own children and my house. The house work can wait till they are in bed and I am spending quality time with all of them. Austin and Bryce and Audrey are loving craft time. They all love lunch time and by nap time I am definetely ready for a moment to myself. I can not believe how good everyone has taken to the new job. The really nice thing is I still get to be with my kids and know that the kids who come in my home are safe and loved!! I love my life and what I do. 3 days a week is giving me enough time to my own family and my career as a photographer and I love every minute of it!! I am so greatful that I have an opportunity to be with my children and get to accomplish my goal and I have a wonderful husband to support me in that!!! By the way I think I finally came up with a name for my photography business, what do you think about Perfect Poses Photgraphy??? I think it gives me some pazazz!! What do you think???

Birthday moments
