Soccer

Kylee and Rylee (neighbor) play soccer together. They even got their professional pictures taken together :)
and of course, for the parents, one individual photo
At our first day of soccer practice they knew what to do right away
Mama, all ready :)

We still have a few weeks left to play and we have had a lot of fun. I'm not sure who has more fun...the adults watching or the kids playing.

Christmas came early!

Grandpa and Grammy celebrated Christmas with us early, while they were visiting in early December. Lexi loved her babydoll she got, and love to feed her baby...and herself.
Its so cute watching Lexi be a little momma and taking her baby everywhereKylee got a little mermaid vanity for Christmas. Two months later they still play with this constantly.Lexi also got a little dog that walks and makes noises. She loves it.What a great gift!Kylee's new favorite thing to do is to play dressup. Thanks to playing dressup so much in WI with Grammy, Alaina and Evelynn. She also loves tangled and the little mermaid, so Grandpa and Grammy got her a little mermaid outfit.lovin her baby :)playing "ring around the rosy"Thanks Grandpa and Grammy! It was great having you in WI right before Christmas so we could celebrate Christmas with you!

Dolphin Cruise

While Grandpa and Grammy were here visiting, we went on a dolphin watching tour. Kylee loved being on a boat.

It was so calm and beautiful on that side of the island. Hi Grammy!Love this picture of my Dad.We didnt think to bring a blanket for Kylee so she did lots of cuddling. That was fine with us :)Cheeser

They had a "Learn about Dolphins" class for the kidsAnd finally, dolphins.They came up right next to the boat. Overall we probably saw around 50.

They did a lot of jumpingJuice Break!My sweet little charmer talked the Captain into letting her drive for a little bit.It was really so much fun! You can actually see the dolphins from the shore, but the boat gets you up much closer.
