Gap Casting Call

Every year, Gap has a Casting Call contest to find a new little face to model their adorable clothing. The winners receive prizes from photo shoots to gift cards. This year, however, they are also having a Fan Favorite contest. Anyone can visit their website and vote for their favorite little guy and gal. The Fan Favorite winner receives an all expenses paid family vacation! Of course, I would love it if one of my little ones won. If you are interested in voting go to www.gap.com and click on either the GapKids or babyGap tab. Then click on the Gap Casting Call icon on the right. You can pull up my kid's pictures by entering my username moni_holden. You can vote for each of them everyday from now until November 22nd. Please spread the word! Thanks to everyone for voting often!

Art Museum

Last summer, we took the kids to the Indianapolis Museum of Art and took a ton of pictures of them before the weather got too cold. There are so many beautiful places to take photos there and we were really happy with how many good shots we got. So, this past weekend we got the kids all dolled up and headed to the IMA for our photo shoot. Here are some of my favorites!

Pre-K

Tuesday was Zeke's first day of Pre-K! He has been so excited to be in Ms. TT's class. Last year he was in awe of the big kids in that class, and now he's there! There are so many new things to do in this class. He has been especially excited to have a turn as the weather man and the boy line leader. However, the best part of the school day is getting a "good job" stamp before going home. He was SO awesome on his first day that he got TWO! One on each hand!

The Canal

A couple of weeks ago, we spent the day at the canal in downtown Indy. Mom and dad rented the 8 seater bike and we had a blast riding around the canal. The kids thought is was so funny that we all fit on one bike.

We had two very tired kiddos on the way home!

Soccer

We have now entered the busiest time of year for our family. Josh has begun his first year teaching at the high school instead of the middle school and football season is in full swing. Zeke has begun his pre-K class and is loving every minute of it. Both Zeke and Harper are very busy with soccer and are having big time fun making new friends on their teams. This is Harper's first year playing in the Pele league. It is for kids 2 and a half to 4 years old. I think she's a bit confused though, she spends most of the game shouting out orders to her teammates. I think the back of her shirt should say "Coach Holden"

"Coach Holden" was not happy when she couldn't have a snack in the middle of the game!

Zeke has improved so much this year. He is really starting to understand what's going on and how to work with his teammates. His coach is a bit intense, but the kids are definitely learning. He has moved up to the U6 league, so some of the kids are quite a bit older than him and have played for several years. It is so much fun to watch him do his little dances when his team "The Scorpions" does a good job.
