Playground

On Mother's Day we took Sophia down to one of the playgrounds by Waterfront Park. If you haven't been there, I suggest that you check it out. We went to the one by Tumbleweed. Sophia had a great time. I didn't know that there was a water feature so she was not dressed to get wet. But try telling that to a 2 year old. So, I decided to let go and let her get drenched. At one point her pants were so wet she could barely walk so she pulled them down right there in the middle of the playground. After much deliberation on my part, I went with it and decided to let her be a dirty, wet, half dressed kid. After all, what's more fun than that?

My 3 favorite people

Love this shot

Half naked, dirty, and wet girl. Guess that's like hitting the trifecta for a 2 year old.

Could he be any sweeter?

I'm in love....

Kingfish

Tonight we met Cory's family at Kingfish to celebrate Mother's Day. We had a good time but it was very hard keeping a 2 year old in her seat when there was a playground outside. So after we said our "goodbyes" we headed outside to play. She had a great time. I apologize that most of these pictures are of Sophia from the back, but that is all I could get of her. She was so busy playing and running....she wouldn't stop. I love simple, fun, family times together. I can't wait until Isaac can get in on the action but I did love cuddling with him while Sophia and Daddy played.

Making her way down the steps

Ready to play

This picture came out blurry but that is why I like it. Ponytails back, skirt up, that's when you know it's a good slide.

Running around

Isaac was enjoying himself

Learning from Daddy

Deep in thought

Love this pic but if you look closely the wind blew just right to puff up her shirt. It makes her look like she is wearing one of those fake muscle shirts.

Doesn't he look so happy?

I love your mad side...

Sophia has a book that we got her for her first Christmas called, "I love you through and through". If you don't have this book for your little one, you should get it. Or, I could just recite it to you.... Anyway, one of the parts says, "I love your happy side, and your mad side...." This picture captures her mad side perfectly. I LOVE IT! So funny.

Giving the "evil eye". It's hard not to laugh.

Making Cupcakes

This evening Sophia, the mermaid princess, wanted to make cupcakes. Once we were done, she got to lick the bowl. I think this is the only reason she likes to make cupcakes. She was a mess!

Derby 2009

I was given some awesome tickets to the Derby this year. I think we were one section away from the "finish line". Cory stayed home with the kids and I took my Dad. We had a good time even though my winnings total was $6.40. Not so great. But I was only out $25. I know....big spender.

Amy & Pardie

Really bad picture but how excited does Calvin Borel (jockey for Mine That Bird) look right after winning?
