Claire's Baptism

 





PHOTOBOMB!!!!!!! nice one uncle Spencer.  Claire will get even later... 
Uncle Al and Aunt Ditty 
Claire chose to wear one of my white dresses I had when I was 8.  If I had known that Davis was not smiling in any of these photos I would have given him to someone else to hold.

Afterwards we met in the cultural hall for dessert.  Lots of friends and family were able to come and join us.  It was fun to visit and eat fruit basket cake.

July 4th

We celebrated July 4th with cousins.  We did a BBQ at the Sabins pool in Poway and then saw some fireworks that night.  It was a perfect day. 

a new soccer season has begun...in with the new, out with the old


 So these pictures are from the 2014 soccer season.  We just started a new season yesterday and were on the field sweating for four games.  Claire asked to do a blog post today and as we scrolled down Ashlyn was surprised that I had done a soccer team posting for Claire and Lara, but not for her.  We need to document her time on the Opals with coach Frances.  Ashlyn was number 11 which was an adult large in size.  She was swimming in it the first game so I had to do some sewing to save her the rest of the season.  I took it in quite a bit but she still can wear it as a night gown.  They went to the finals last season and lost in overtime to the Rubys  It was a lot of fun to see how fast she got.  She was on defense a lot because she could always catch the person with the ball. 
They had this "Opals"  cheer that one of her team mates made up that didn't make any sense, but it rhymed. 

 Here is Ashlyn when her team played against Jillian's team, the sapphires. 
Here is a view of her coach and Ashlyn's blousy uniform. 
Ashlyn had her covered.
 

 
 Davis is such a cutie.  He is definitely quicker and more mobile for this the 2015 soccer season, so we will see how it goes chasing him everywhere. Luckily he has a fast older sister who is always mindful of where he is. She will make a fabulous babysitter soon. Hopefully I will be able to do more blogging updates with everyone back in school this year-- only one more week until school starts.  I will only have Davis home --crazy.
