our sweet tulip ~ photo shoot #867

Spring is really here. . . we hope!

Spring soccer is here! Kinkade's team is the Blue Sharks, and Keagan's is the Green Sea Monsters. Last year it was all about the uniforms and what color they were, and this year it is the mascot and team NAME! Apparently the boys lead the charge when it came time to pick the team names.
Grammy and Lucia watching the game. . .kind of. . .
Keagan and Lucia have such a special relationship. He just adores her and pays so much attention to her. He stills wants to go with me every time she wakes up to give her a kiss first.
Look the sun is out!

Soccer twins! First time not on the same team. Kinkade response when I told them they were on different teams was "That is the worst news I have ever heard."

Then he quickly realized he would make double the friends and was okay.

Stretching for the big game. He takes it so seriously.
Coaching moments with Dad.

First McMurray Spring walk after dinner. We love to go on a family walk around the neighborhood after dinner. Kinkade insisted on roller blading with his new blades from Papa and Grandma.
Sweet baby girl in the stroller.
Quick photo before we go.

These are my favorite shots with those cute jammie buns!


Mr. Cheese it up!
And just when you start to think how perfect family time is and how much fun it is to have kids, one is screaming with a bloody knee. . .and the walk is done. . .

Family Photo Shoot

We had a family photo shoot done a couple weeks after we got home with Lucia. Cameron Glass http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=125569333 did a wonderful job! He was so affordable and we got some cute shots. I am having a really hard time deciding what to blow up and frame. . . . I need your help. Here are few of my favorites.

Spring Break

Spring Break in Spokane was a little chilly. So we drove across the state to see great friends and get out of town for a short vacation. Isn't this hat adorable that Lucia is wearing Grandma Marlene made it for her.
The boys love to get out and run around. Here we are stopping along the way playing catch with pre-school Cinnamon. It was Kinkade's turn to take him home this week. If we have been following this blog awhile Cinnamon has been on many trips with the McMurrays over the last two years of preschool - Boston, Guatemala, and now Seattle.

All five of us in our tiny little toyota to save gas money. No of course we did pull a Brittney Spears and drive with Lucia in the front seat it was just for the pic:) It actually was cozy and fun to be so close together.
Sweet Savannah reading to the boys.
The highlight for the boys was making a campfire and hunting for wood. At night they made smores and were on cloud nine. We are dreaming of summer lake campfires. . can't wait. More Cinnamon play!
Dad thought this old farm equipment was cool so we stopped again to take a picture. So fun being married to a history major. . .

Cute twin Zag fans at the park.
This baby girl makes me smile so much.


The traditional stop for Blizzards! Mom insists on it.

Back home we went on a great Spring walk with Mandolyn and her gigantic dogs. . who the boys adore.
Here is a snap shot of Volleyball Spring practices. The boys ride and ride and ride. . . . all over the gym.
Especially during a Spring that is not cooperating on sun and warmth the gym is perfect to get out twin boy energy!
Look at this beautiful sweater our dear friend Ingrid made for Lucia. It looks so cute on her.

I refuse to wear my uggs anymore.
Smiles and chapped cheeks. . .thats my girl.
I finally captured one of my favorite looks Keagan does. He just cracks us up with all his expressions. He is so smug.
The boys put the candles on Dad's birthday cake.
"Can we help Dad there are so many candles because you are so old!"

There you go we made the best of chilly Spokane Spring Break and had some awesome family time.
