Afternoon playdate...

As you can tell Sophie and Mims had fun in the backyard. Merritt enjoyed swinging and playing on the deck.

First Horse Ride

Sophie got to ride her first horse at Trade Days. She loved it, she got to ride three times and still screamed when it was done. For some reason she loves horses, she is not scared of them at all. The lady asked if she has ever ridden before. She said that she had really good form and that we need to bring her the stables. Ok, I think that is one hobby we just cant afford. Believe it or not she has asked us to buy her a horse. Maybe a goldfish but not a horse..We have horses in our neighborhood and everyday we have to go by and see the horses. It was so cute to watch her ride, she was so excited.

Trade Days

We went to Trade Days last weekend and took Mims. We had a good time, I just wish I had the energy of a two year old. The weather was wonderful. They both really loved the train ride.

Some of our tomatos we picked. Sophie loves to water and pick the tomatos and peppers. I think next year we are going to do a small garden.

Loving to water the "mater plants"

She is my life and heart....

Feeding the fish

There is nothing like waking up early at the river. Going on the pier in you Pj's and feeding all the fish. And cooking your breakfast outside on a griddle and eating on the deck. Talk about relaxing..

Fourth of July

We spent the fourth at the river with friends and family. We had a really good time. Sophie is still talking about the "powerworks" go "real high, BOOM" On a serious note, we think its hot here. I cant imagine being overseas fighting for our country in that extreme heat, not being with families and loved ones. I would like to say Thank you to all the men and women fighting for our country. I salute you.

More pictures from the fourth. Tommy, Dana, Braelyn and Uncle Joseph came and spent the day. It was nice spending time with them. Braelyn is so cute. I think her favorite thing of the day was swimming in the river and eating homemade ice cream. Least favorite was the boatride, its just so hard for a lifevest to be comfortable on a baby.
