THE SECHRIST FAMILY

Meet the Sechrist family. I've know them since before there was a Sechrist family. ;) Kim was one of my college roommates. Back in the day. I won't say how far back in the day. It was just back in the day. But some fun times were shared and our friendship developed into something that we both can't even really understand. But there is a love and a respect for each other that we do understand. Friends like this are rare....special. She has a spirit about her that just attracts others to want to be around her. Seriously. She's beautiful and has the personality to go along with it. I'm so happy to be able to call her my best friend. She's an amazingly strong woman, with an equally amazing strong husband beside her. I'm so glad Kim and her beautiful family are in my life. I even think her kids call me Aunt Amee. Love it! Joel, her husband, is always looking out for me and I know he wants the best for me in every aspect of my life. I guess you could say he's kind of like a really good friend and a big brother all rolled in to one. I know. I'm one lucky girl. ;)

Well, Kim called me the other day and wanted to do a family photo session. Joel's sister, Amy, was there too. I will post her cute and fun family later. But for now, here is Kim and Joel and their awesome kids.

I kept mixing up this cutie's name with his little brother's... So I just started calling him Mr. Blue Eyes. Can you blame me?!

Here's little brother. One word... Adorable.

Joel, you're gonna have to watch out for this future heartbreaker...

This one is a little on the shy side, but she's definitely following in her sister's footsteps. Meaning...Joel's gonna have to stand at the door and scare all the boys away. ;)

Love this one. There's just something about it...

I'm gonna end for now with Joel and his boys.

A SECHRIST SNEAK PEEK

I had the opportunity to do a little photo session with this beautiful family on Saturday!

I will post more later. But I know Kim is waiting patiently to see something. ;) So here you go...

More coming....

I promise....

ABBY'S TURN FOR SOCCER

Yes. It was back to back soccer games for me. But it was a nice break from football. I love to see my little niece and nephews play sports. Abby had her last soccer game last night. She played awesome! She's getting so big. And she's so cute! I can't believe it. I had fun being able to be there and capture some fun moments on camera for her.

Love this one. I love when they look back at me. I guess they just want to see if I'm still watching.

Ok. So the tongue thing must run in the family! First Eli. Now Abby. ;)

Love it! And I love this shot of her.

This girl is cute, but don't let that deceive you. She'll take you out if necessary. ;) Go Abby!

Just taking a quick break...

Abby with her medal. Great job Abby!

How cute are these two?!
Eli came up to me after the game and said Amee...so did you get some good shots of Abby playing soccer? He's so cute. And he couldn't wait to get home and see HIS pictures from his game the night before. He even asked if I could print and frame one of them for him. His favorite. Eli, if you're reading this, I got your picture printed for you! ;)

And here's the 3 of them...

And yes. It was me. I told the boys to tackle their sister. But doesn't it look fun?

ELI AND HIS SOCCER GAME

Every time I see Eli, my nephew, he asks Amee, when are you going to come to one of my soccer games?

Well, I took a break from football and work and such and checked my schedule to find he was playing last night. Yay! I can make his game. Finally. And lucky me. It was his last game. I love watching him play and by these photos I'm sure you can see why. And he so happens to be the cutest little person out there on the field. I'm not biased or anything. Really.

(He's #5.)

This is when he first noticed me in the crowd...

Too cute. I think he was happy I was there, so he could show off for me and my camera.

He's coming over to chat with me for a bit.

I like this one.

He's just making sure I'm still there! ;)

I think the other team's goalie got a little bored, because when I turned to look at him, he was just 'monkeying' around! ;)

Love this! (He just could be the Michael Jordan of soccer.)

Eli showing me his trophy!

Ok. Seriously. Just look at that face. Could he be any cuter! I love this kid!

Love this one too!

I was checking out his team picture while Abby, Eli, and I were walking to my car. Abby, his sister, said that he wished that I could've just taken his picture. She seemed to think he just didn't want to go get team shots done. But I'm gonna think he just likes ME to take his pictures! ;)

Great job Eli!
