Dear Sophia,

We went up north just you, me and your Dad this weekend on a spur of the moment idea.
It was the best idea EVER.
It was so good to just be with you and your Dad for a few days.

We enjoyed some games, time on the pontoon and of course CRAFTS and CONES.
Your ice cream was so yummy...you are lucky Dad didn't try to eat yours!!

Great Job driving and docking the pontoon!

Nothing tops of a Saturday like a bonfire...it took Daddy a few tries but he got it going...then when we were done with our marshmallows we pooped out and went to bed! Some bonfire champs we are....NOT!

Now THIS is the FACE that CRACKS me UP!

We laughed so hard over your "butterfly" chair.  You looked so funny carrying that up from the bonfire.

We had a blast on our boat on Sunday. It was fun going to the Wharf for breakfast and then swimming.

Great Memories.

I love you.

Love,
Mom

Nana and Papa's

You hung out with Jocelyn, NON STOP!

How about a ride in Papa's FAST car???? 

 The LUAU was a BLAST!

Having our waterfight with little Sammy was a great time too!!

Nana jumping over the sprinkler!!

4th of July Fun

Dear Sophia, 

What a great time we had up north with Grandma Lucy, Papa John and Uncle Tim.

It was HILARIOUS to hear your commentary on the fireworks..everyone laughed so hard!

I will never forget sitting on the hammock with your head in my lap just rocking back and forth listening to the birds and sounds of nature. That was my most precious and priceless moment with you.

Memories...

 Happy 4th of July at Cross Lake

 The Sunsets are so very pretty...

How about a Pontoon ride??

 Someone is excited!!  You and your Dad have found a new hobby...FISHING!

Now, Dad just needs to learn how to take the fish OFF the line.....he is a little squeamish!! HA!

So pretty!!

Quiet time alone.....
