Views were beautiful at the biggest game of the season so far!

Score at the end of the game…NOT SO BEAUTIFUL! 

Our first loss but an incredible game.  It was really anybody's game but they scored the last 18 seconds!  Hopefully we meet them in the State Championship and win!

His car placed 4th out of 11!

Before dinner it was raining.  The lighting outside was so beautiful, I grabbed my camera to see if there was anything interesting to photograph.  I was surprised to see this rainbow as I walked outside!  I needed a wide-angle lens to capture the full effect.  Next purchase…hopefully!

 Another attempt at low light photography.

I love my girls and their willingness and patience to help me in this learning adventure.

Another Tuesday night game and win 14-6!

At half-time we were up 7-1 and were lucky to pull off a 10-9 win after a nail biting second half.

Z had 3 goals and a few assists.  Both boys played great!

State Fair displays today!  

She accomplished this project 100% on her own!

After dance she thought roller-blading sounded fun on this beautiful sunny day... but the weather was deceiving and it was freezing! Just a few minutes and we were back inside.

A little pre-game shooting practice!
