YMCA Soccer U4

Coach Jason and Bryon with their U4 team - Maroon and Gold

Jack has joined a YMCA soccer team this spring as his first "team" activity. They have had a few practices and two games as of today. He was not too excited about picture day (as seen above) but that boy LOVES to play and score some goals!! He just gets the game and has the competitive drive to WIN! We just tell him...#1 listen to coach and #2 have FUN!

EBPC Easter Egg Hunt

Ms. Carole's three year olds all lined up against the fence just waiting to start their easter egg hunt! I call this finish "OLD SCHOOL!" I thought it made these 2008 kids look timeless...

Snow Day!

We rarely get snow here in TN. And when it sticks, you gotta get out in it fast before it melts away. Here are a few shots from our snow day play...

Football Jack

Jack's 4th Birthday was all about getting the REAL football uniform that the Vanderbilt guys wear. He first wanted the jersey and helmet. But the helmet started to give him bruises on his shoulders when he played in the backyard...so we HAD to get the shoulder pads. Which then led to the pants and thigh pads. Which then led to the mouth guard and well...you see where this is going!
Once he put it all on together, I just had to take this photo in my studio. (I printed this poster size and surprised his Daddy with it for Christmas.) It hangs proudly in his office at the VU Commodore Club.
