Giant Rocks and Sibling Pictures

Took some pictures individually and all together. Trying to get 4 cranky kids to all smile isn't easy! They loved running around and giving mommy heart failure. Luckily, no one was hurt and we all made it out in one piece. Cayden

Sophie's Birthday!

Sophie was able to come for a short visit. Grandma and Grandpa S. treated us to a day at the pool with Sophie. We had a blast! Sophie loves to slide down the big slides and dive off the diving board. Later we celebrated with a shrimp Scampi. Yet another great meal! Thanks Mom!! Sophie had fun playing with her cousins. While she was here we celebrated her birthday early. Since she doesn't turn 8 until the 13th. She is such a sweet girl. After her birthday celebration and dinner we walked down to a neighbor's home and picked a whole bunch of fresh apricots. Delicious! Chocolate Cake! My Favorite!!
