These are some old pictures of Sophia and Carter that my girlfriend Julia took during a playdate in our backyard. You can tell they are from a while ago because Sophia looks way younger than in the pics I posted yesterday. Thats what happens when I am catching up, some things are out of order. But no matter what order they are in, they are stinkin cute huh?
We had a picnic on the golf course by the pond. We played in the grass.
We threw rocks.
We ate by the pool!
Sophia and Joe were both having so much fun playing trains together.
It was cute seeing how much they laughed at each other while they played.
I gaurentee that if Sophia had an older sister for a sibling she wouldn't be wearing bug pajamas and playing trains! I love it though!!! I wouldn't have it any other way!
Saturday morning I went to ask Joe something and found the whole family replacing the porch light that had burned out! Although it started out just Joe, Carter and Sophia soon followed! I just LOVED seeing them all on the same chair from the kitchen table. Look at how they watch his every move!! If anyone knows how to teach kids to work, its the Mackeys!! Thanks Honey, one for teaching our kids so many great lessons and two for holding that pose while I ran to find the camera!
All I wanted was a picture of my two darlings on the 4th of July. Is that too much to ask?
It was from Sophia! Apparently right before nap time isn't the best photo opp time! Who knew? She usually so happy I promise!!
Carter thought the whole thing was funny!
After I convinced Sophia to get back on the couch by bribing her with the cell phone, this was the best shot I got! Sad huh? I won't be going into children's photography any time soon! They still were cute though.
So that same afternoon Joe, Carter and I were watching TV when I jumped out of my seat and said, "Where's Sophia?" My brain had just registered that I hadn't heard or seen her since she was watching TV with us who knows how much earlier. Joe and I both had one of those terrifying parent moments that made our hearts race thinking of where she could be and not knowing if she was okay. This is how I found her! Very okay!! She was having a ball with the toilet paper in our bathroom. I always say a little prayer of thanks after these moments when my kids turn out to be okay. Recently while visiting at my parents house Sophia got into my Mom and Dad's bathroom, climbed into the tub and turned on the cold water...THREE TIMES! Each time I thought I had fixed the loophole to her getting back in, and yet each time she was in there even longer, with the water even higher. It just makes me ill thinking about how badly that could have turned out especially because at work I see how badly they can turn out! I'm sure none of you have stories like this about your kids huh? Any ways, she was rediculously cute when I found her here on the toilet that I had to grab my camera. She loved it even more with an audience! 
Carter found a quarter and can you see that truely sincere excitement in his face? I love it!
Sophi had so much fun playing outside.
This is how she normally feels about her head band and bows, but luckily she has a very persistant Mom! She'll thank me later!
