Happy BIRTHDAY Buddy!

I happened upon these videos taken in 2009. Carter was 2 1/2. His best buddy Dane was turning 3.

Now that best buddy is turning 5. I just can not believe it. Where has the time gone, we've moved apart but distance can't break this bond. 

Happy Birthday to an unbelievable Buddy! So happy you are getting to be such a big boy. 

We love you.

Where have the last 3 years gone?

Sunshine Sunshine, Where for art thou Oh Sunshine.

Exactly One year ago today, we were living in Tucson. This was a typical day at the zoo. Bright blue sky, not a cloud in sight. Short sleeves. in fact, if you look at the boys cheeks it was pretty warm. I remember Carter saying that the elephant's ear was hot.

I miss this one thing.

2 years ago today.

I can't believe how much has changed in the last 2 years. 

I can't believe how grown up my little Cam has become.

I came across this video taken exactly 2 years ago today, He's just so stinkin' cute I couldn't resist.

One thing that hasn't changed completely is that he still loves to eat!

Who'da thought?

15 years ago, it was simply Jeff, Dan, Dave and I. Best Friends, well the boys were, I was the added tag-a-long. But now we all have babies, and there are 2 more wives. We went from 4 to 10 in a matter of 15 years. It feels so great to see all the kiddos playing together while we chat. Forever friends.

First Soccer Practice

The Boys started their 1st soccer practice on Tuesday. 

They were very excited to get to wear shin guards just like Daddy. 

I'm pretty sure we just started another line of Shepherd boys playing soccer.

This week, practice was held in the gym at Silver Lake Elementary.

Carter was the only kid who would respond to the coach when talked to. he did all the dribbling when asked and participated in everything.

As usual, Cam, is very coordinated and listened very well to the coach. Even though he is the youngest in the class, (yes, Mommy lied about his age to get him in, he is 2 months too young really.) you wouldn't know it. He keeps up and boots it harder than most.
