Weekend fun!

We went to the Scandinavian festival on Saturday, and Sophia represented her Swedish heritage!

The festival set up was so cute! We ate a few "swedish" items, including rice pudding...yum!

Some of the Scandinavian dancing

Hanging out by our flag!

A Scandinavian Tipi...I think this was a Norweigen thing

Travis and Sophia in front of the old church

Sophia got a new teddy bear!

The next day Sophia spent the morning helping daddy work on the motorcycle...

The little Midwest farm-girl! Haha

And we got to hang out with the twins again today! Yay!

Taking care of 3 babies under 1!

Sophia greets the twins, William and Amelia!
Amelia was so happy to be hanging out at Sophia's pad!

Gonna be a heartbreaker...

All the babies!

William had some tummy time...

Then Amelia did too...

Tummy time together!

Uh-oh...I think they like each other??? Watch out, Joseph! :D

Some recent pics...

Last Saturday it was almost 90 degrees and HUMID so we spent the day at Detroit Lake!
Check out the farmer's tan! Hehe

Sophia loves nude beaches! (Nude for babies anyway) :)

Travis teaching Sophia how to bounce a tennis ball...check out the cute video below!

I LOVE Sophia's Carhart overalls!

FIRST PIGTAILS!!!

One of Sophia's most favorite toys is her rocking horse! Thanks, Uncle Mike!

Bounce!

On Saturday I snuck up on Travis teaching Sophia how to bounce a tennis ball. So cute! Now playing pass with the ball is one of her favorite games!

A Few Last Florida Pictures...

Sophia and her Uncle Sky bond one last time at the airport hotel

Sophia got to meet her second cousin, Beth, at a family dinner at her great-grandpa's house! We're so happy Beth was able to join us!!!

tHE bEacH!!!

We were so lucky to be able to spend two beautiful days at New Smyrna Beach! We stayed in a beach condo with Sophia's Grammy, Pop Pop and Uncle Sky...it was so, so fun!!!
Sophia was so happy and good at the beach!

Crawling toward the ocean

Being silly

Still being silly!

Playing in the sand!

Making silly faces!

Sophia loved playing in the sand with her momma and grammy!

And Sophia really loved playing in the water with her momma and grammy!

Airing out between swim diapers :)

Sky taking Sophia for a little stroll down the beach

Sky and Sophia showing off the view from our 7th floor beach condo!

Hanging out in the elevator!

Playing in the surf during high tide

Sophia was fascinated by the wet, "sucky" pockets that she came upon as the tide went out!

Every time Sophia was set down in the sand she bee-lined into the water!

I love this picture, because I feel that it captures the essence of how beautifully Sophia seemed to connect with the ocean!

Crawling into the sea!

Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Carole gave Sophia some beach toys that she really enjoyed...and now they're her favorite bath toys, too!

Sky continues his long tradition of making "drip castles"...with a little assistance from his niece!
