An easy way to get a similar look would be to download Pioneer Woman's action set. . . http://thepioneerwoman.com/photography/2008/04/actions/. She has a set called Bright and Colorful. . . or something like that which would give a similar feel to the images above.<BR/><BR/>Aloha,<BR/><BR/>NatalieNatalie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03306521406053336039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-42979951449189123522008-09-11T21:51:00.000-10:002008-09-11T21:51:00.000-10:00Hi NathalieNice pictures!

Raleigh tells me he can't wait to coach his kids. In AYSO only 3-4 kids on each team can play on the field at the same time. So they have to take turns on the sidelines. I told them that there is nothing wrong with being on the sideline and it is okay and good to rest for a bit. That picture of Raleigh and I with our hands on our knees was Raleigh's first time on the side. I told him I needed him to be my assistant coach and told him that 'this' (putting hands on your knees) is how you coach!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-65094653659137954312008-09-08T07:31:00.000-10:002008-09-08T07:31:00.000-10:00these are great! i love, love, love that fourth p...these are great! i love, love, love that fourth picture. it's adorable!tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455840240919018816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-7966147721302471262008-09-08T06:46:00.000-10:002008-09-08T06:46:00.000-10:00These are Precious!!!

Sorry that for all the inspiration I get from your work, my first comment isn't about that at all. What I want to say is that I wish my kids were always coached by someone who had Richie's philosophy about sport. His vision of 'building little boys' is right on and far too often gets lost in translation. Your kids and the families in your community are blessed to have Richie wearing that 'Coach' shirt...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1021668448931262073.post-33744708306819092412008-09-08T00:37:00.000-10:002008-09-08T00:37:00.000-10:00I'm so in love with these I can hardly contain mys...I'm so in love with these I can hardly contain myself!!!
