Soccer - Game #2

Marley and the "Pink" Fireballs had another big game this morning. Between #7's skills and a genius for a coach, the Purple Lollipop's never stood a chance.

Black & Whites

The kids were bored tonight, so we decided to use some recent pictures and see how they would look in black and white.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent Labor Day weekend swimming in an effort to avoid the Arizona heat. Although the calendar says September, it is still 105+ degrees here in the desert. We are looking forward to the fall season and the cool 90 degree temperatures.
