Soccer with Newton Heath SC

Today the boys went to indoor soccer practice with Coach Dave. They were so excited to play soccer and to have Coach Dave there. Both boys are going to play this spring for Coach Dave and his new soccer club, Newton Heath! It will be a very fun spring with Tate and Fisher on their own teams with Celtics and then together on Newton Heath. EB was off with her friend ice skating and Harper had fun hanging with us.

Water Polo -- Harper

Another weekend, another day of polo fun for Harper!  Highlight of the game for us was Harper shooting from the center of the pool and making a goal!!!

Total concentration!

Waiting for her chance to play!

She did all she could to avoid eye contact with her mother!

ODP and Lensbaby action

ODP for Harper was at LT this weekend and it was nice and close and great that we could all watch her. I brought a fully stocked camera bag as I knew we would have hours at the pool and it would be fun to play with all my goodies. Tate was very interested in what all my lenses did AND of course, I indulged him!

Lensbaby -- Double Glass Optic

Harper waiting for practice to start

I got her to look at me for about 1 second!

My happy, sweet boy!

Tate took the camera and worked hard on getting a good shot!

I had to go black and white with these images but love that he took them and maybe the focus being off is okay, I may look younger and you can ignore the signs of aging on my face.

LOVE this picture of Harper and the reflection on the water.

Out came the Fisheye!

My super silly boy striking a pose for the camera with the 30mm.  

Lensbaby fun in a night

So basically I cannot get enough of my new Lensbaby.  Love learning how to use it and play with it.  Not every picture has turned out great but do love when I get a good one.

Grandma and Harper -- love the picture even though not in focus.

Tate and Denard's Head.  Tate was trying really hard to look like he had a floating head!

Cold Day Fun!

We all had a day off of work for cold and my Lensbaby came so we all had some fun.  There are tons of cold weather science experiments and we got to work making those happen.  If it was not -15 I would have taken a few pictures and played with my lens a bit more.  Cannot wait until it is 20, the fun I can have with the new lens!

EB trying to get a bubble to freeze!

Fisher lasted about 2 minutes outside and could barely stop to pose for a picture!

Love this picture of Harper -- she is getting too big!

Snowflake camera fun!

So I was inspired by macro snowflake pictures that I have been seeing and grabbed my partner in crime, EB, and got to work. Did not have the right lens to make it work the way I saw but love that we got to see some detail and more importantly, had a fun time doing the snowflake camera fun with EB!

On EB's glove!

On black paper!  EB can always find the perfect snowflake!

Another one!

She thought this one was a flower with a stem.

Focused on finding the perfect snowflake!

My girl!!!

Not sure you can tell how BIG this snowflake was but it was quite a snowflake!

Love this shiny flake!

Another picture of the big flake!!!!
