Sweet Puff

I've been trying to take more pictures with my good camera so I can learn how to use it. Puff was laying on the couch so I snapped some of her. She would just stare at me like 'what are you doing?'. Her little face is just so cute! We sure love our sweet little dog!

Why do you keep calling my name when I'm right here?
Ok, I'm bored of this. I'm going back to my nap.

Swimmin'

Mackenzie, Elle, and Zoe ham it up in the car ride over to the swimming pool at Chuck & Joan's house. What a fun pool! The cousins all had a great time!

Elle and her upside down goggles, so funny!

Maricopa Cousins

Madeline and Zoe stayed with Grandma Gwen while she was taking care of Austin & Nicole's kids (while they went to South Africa for the World Cup!) They had fun hanging out at their new house in Maricopa and playing soccer in the park across the street. Zane liked playing Chuzzle on Madeline's phone

Soccer time!

Unaccompanied Minors

School is out so the girls were excited to start summer by going to Mesa, AZ to stay with Grandma Gwen for a few weeks. They flew all by themselves! I was nervous but also really excited for them. It was so weird to watch them walk down the jetway alone. I think I made at least three phone calls during their flight to make sure someone was going to be at the gate when they landed! One of their first activities was going to the river with Uncle Scott and cousins Jensen, Maddox, Berkley, Thatcher, and Belle.

Zoe got a nice sunburn the first day!

Zoe's birthday party

Zoe had a Tiny Party for her birthday (just like Madeline did when she turned 10). We had fun making tiny decorations and tiny treats for the party.

Zoe's special tiny cake...

Tiny cakes for all the guests...

Tiny hamburger cookies...

Zoe turns 10

Zoe's favorite treat right now is Muddy Buddies, so that is what she wanted to take to her class on her birthday. I decided to put them in dixie cups with a cute little tag on a stick. It worked out well and she was happy to share them with her friends. many Muddy Buddies...

Turning 10 is pretty exciting! Zoe opened presents from us on her birthday. She got roller blades, soccer shorts, and the movie Alice in Wonderland.

She was really excited to finally get a pair of Adidas soccer sweatpants that she had been begging for.

Now she looks like a real soccer girl!
