Family pictures are awesome!

So I have a really good dilemma.  It's nice when two pictures turn out so good that you can't decide which one to frame.  So if you want to leave a comment on which one you like the best please do.  I go back and forth and can't decide! 

Soccer season

Kirk has been on the best soccer team this year.  Every single kid is really good.  This actually makes it harder for Kirk to get goals because so many kids dominate,  I don't think they've lost a game, and they usually win by three or four goals.  I need to get a telephoto zoom lens because I can't get very close up shots when the kids are playing sports.  Last week Kirk scored his first goal so far this spring.  He's gotten a lot of assists, and usually passes it, so Dan bribed him with five dollars if he'd make a goal.  That was motivation.  Kirk loves playing sports and is a real patient kid as he tries to get in and stick with the game. 

I little photo shoot

I did a photo shoot of my brother Kyle's family.  We took them in an empty field across the street from their neighborhood.  They turned out beautiful.  It looks like we drove out to the country.  I swear the side of the road is sometimes the very best place to do pictures.  I hope you like them Kyle and Sarah.

Here's a photo of Kate

We have these gorgeous blossoming trees in our front yard.  This week most of the blossoms fell of the trees and onto our grass.  It is so pretty with all the pink petals all over our lawn.  I forced Kate to take a photo laying on the petals. 

It's Great To Be Eight! Kirk Got Baptised on May 3, 2014

This was one special day for our family!  We are so proud of our son Kirk.  He is really growing into a fantastic kid.  Kirk was so excited to be Baptised.  Kirk had a lot of supportive friends, family, and primary leaders attending.  He invited a good  non LDS friend Evan Johnson.  The entire Johnson family came, it was the first LDS baptism they had ever been to.  They were so gracious, and kind and even got Kirk a nice card and came to the dinner afterwards.  One fun note, if you notice on the program I put that "Father Dan Mower" as the one performing the baptism.  They thought Dan was really a "Father" like in the Catholic Church.  We all laughed about that one.  Kirk told me after he was baptized that he wanted to stay clean and pure so if he ever makes a mistake he will repent.  I am so proud of his decision to follow Christ.

I took a million pictures, and Kirk was a really good sport, we had tremendous support from family. 

This is Kirk with Bishop Evans.  He is such a phenomenal Bishop.  He did a great job at the meeting.  One thing that I just wanted to write about Kirk is that he is extremely sensitive to other people's feelings.  I went on a field trip with his class a couple of weeks ago.  He and another little boy were sitting in front of me and a were talking to another little girl on the bus.  The other little boy called the girl Fat, and I was about to confront him and make him apologize when Kirk immediately with out hesitation pipped up and said to the girl "you are not fat, you are not".  I was so proud of my little boy.  He is such a great example to me.  He really is a sweet little guy, with a tender heart that wants to do the will of the Lord.   Below is the Program.
