We went to the coast with our friends the Shaffers. We could live at the beach...our kids love it!! Here Julia is playing football with her Dad. It was a perfect sunny day.

Kaylee of course was in the water immediately. She is never cold! She gets that from her Dad...definitely not me!

Sophie girl also is a little fish. She goes right along with whatever her sisters are doing. She never misses a beat.

Mia of course slept through it all...I just forgot to take a picture of the car seat covered up with beach towels! :)

This is the funniest picture I think I have taken of Sophie in her 2 1/2 years of life. I was folding clothes and she decided to try on whatever I folded...now you know why it takes me an entire day to get a load of laundry washed and put away. :) Anyhow, this is what she ended up with...a pair of pjs, "skating socks"-which are just fuzzy socks our girls wear to slide around the house in, a soccer arm-band, and Mia's hair bow that she came across in the process. All put on by herself..she thought she looked great...and so did I! Check out the pose...

Kaylee is playing softball for the first time. She is doing great! The best part of all is that she is on the same team of some of her friends...She is such a good sport at there! Here she is rounding first base...

She kept trying to get them to eat the hay but she didn't understand that yelling at them wouldn't convince them to come over to her.

We went to our friend's dairy so Sophie could have her first real encounter with the baby calfs. It was so sweet to see her get up close to them and check them out. We tried to get her to let them suck on her fingers but she wanted absolutely nothing to do with that! She just wanted to look...

Sean took the girls to the annual Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance. This was Sophie's first year and she hung with all the big girls! They love dressing up and feeling special. One more girl will be in the picture before we know it...Daddy is going to have his hands full for the rest of his life!
