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.

ENT Party

We just had the ENT Roast. Its time for some of our Residents to leave. I really enjoy my job and working so close with the residents. They are all truly wonderful people. It was a good party, they did a really good job on the presentations and slide show. I wish them all luck...

Here are some pictures of Miss Madalyn Grace Feola dedication. She is such a happy baby (since the colic is gone). I was glad I was able to share in this moment with Katrina and her family. Katrina is a wonderful person and friend. There were so many friends and family at the church. We literally took over one whole side.

Vacation

We were recently able to go on a family vacation for a week at Navarre Beach. It was wonderful. It was the first time in years we all went together as a family. I hope this is just the begining on a family tradition. I think my parents really enjoyed spending time with the grandkids at the beach. I have posted a few pictures below of our week. Sophie is still asking for the beach..

Family Vacation..

Friends Forever....

We were able to spend some time with our best friends during our trip. Sophie and Letson always have a good time seeing each other. They play so well together. I got to spend some time with the new baby... It was about time I got my hands on her. She is so pretty, and i must say Letson is already a protective big brother.

Congrats Aunt Madi
