My friend Irene took these fun pictures of the kids a few weeks ago in the backyard. The kids loved dressing up and smiling for the camera. Isaac is wearing a suit from the 70's... looks like he is waiting for the train; the suit case was my grandpa's years ago, in college I put a bunch of stickers on it. The girls had fun lookin' pretty and wearing lip gloss!

Camp Out in Backyard

Spring 2011
We enjoyed looking at the stars through the tent and listening to lots of creatures and and bugs outside the tent on our backyard camp out. The nice thing about having the camp out in the backyard, I was able to sneak inside for a good night rest in my bed. The kids loved sleeping in the tent with Dad.

Isaac's Spring Baseball

Isaac's Spring Baseball pictures. They were the Diamond Devil's Team. Isaac was excited to play. He was always good up to bat and enjoyed rotating through different positions during the season. It was a pretty intense season 1 practice a week and 2 games... 3 days a week..... by the end of the season Isaac was ready for the trophy!

Dusty took kids on a bike ride through Haile plantation.... Emma loved that she was "trail riding".... she has been wanting to go mountain biking, but since their are no mountains she enjoyed the trail instead.

Sophie Turns 3!!!

Sophie had a fun 3rd birthday we woke up early, opened presents and ate donuts for breakfast then headed to Sea World for the day. Here are some recent pics of Sophie and some from the birthday.













My baby is 3! This past year you have grown so much, it has been fun to see you learn knew things. We love to hear you sing the abc's as you brush your teeth. We love to see you smile as you tilt your head. We love your kisses and hugs. We love how you insist on being the one to say the prayer at every meal. We love watching you ride your scooter on our Sunday evening walks. We love how you love your bracelets and can't leave the house with out one on or five on. We love how you can down a capri sun in less then 30 seconds. We love how you walk on your toes. Their are so many things we love about you we know you will be a great older sister soon... but until then enjoy these last few weeks of being "the baby". Thanks for all your smiles! Happy Birthday Sophie we hope you have a great year!
