It's soccer time!

SK & Shep on their way to soccer practice. Shepherd was sad b/c he didn't have his soccer uniform on! :)

Sara Kate & Naomi all ready to play. Of course they had to have matching soccer balls!

Ready to rumble!

Coach Mike does such a great job with all the girls. He's trying to talk Sara Kate into running down the field and kick her ball into the net. The girls are wearing their uniforms b/c it was picture day. Their game isn't until Sat. There will be plenty of pics. from that game since it will be SK's first real game!

There she goes!

All that running wore Shepherd out!

Sara Kate didn't want to go and run down the field by herself so Nomi took her by the hand and ran with her. It was so sweet!

There they go!

At the end of practice they all huddle around and pray. I love it!

Shepherd blowing bubbles :)

I'll post more pics. from the game on Saturday. I'm sure Sara Kate will be the star player! :) She isn't too much of a hard core player. Oh well, she looks cute in her uniform! :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all our family and friends! We had a great Easter, the weather was beautiful and Sara Kate seemed to understand a little more what Easter is all about. She kept saying, "Jesus is alive!" How precious is that? Here are some pictures from last week. We enjoyed a week full of Easter egg hunts, friends and Sara Kate not being sick! She was sick for 2 whole weeks. Not fun! One week she had a bad cold and the next she had an awful virus that lasted for a week. We are so thankful that she is feeling better and back to her crazy self!

Sara Kate, Eric & Shepherd

Shepherd slept through most of the pictures. SK was just so happy to hold Shepherd again, we didn't let her for the 2 weeks she was sick. That was torture for her, she LOVES holding baby brother!

Doesn't she look so sweet in this picture? Looks can be deceiving! :)

Finally a picture with Shepherd's eyes open!

Sara Kate's big girl bed came this weekend. She loves it!

SK was so excited that the Easter bunny came. We had to assure her though that he came and left. She didn't want to see him!

We went to the Easter service on Saturday night. Afterwards we went to Olive Garden with our friends Daniel, Rachel, Naomi & Luke.

Waiting outside

I love this picture!

I love the look on Naomi's face. This means she's up to something! :)

Posing before we left for church in her new outfit

Shepherd hanging out. My pictures are all out of order!

This was taken after we got home from bible study. This was Shepherd's first time going. He did great and slept the whole time!

SK made all kinds of Easter crafts. She loved hunting the eggs!

This week SK had some of her good buddies over for an Easter get together. Somehow all the girls ended up in princess dresses. It was so fun seeing all of them hunting eggs in their dresses!

taking a break to count her eggs!

so fun!
