Soccer Girl

Mara loves soccer, and oh how I love Mara! The thing I love most about watching her "play soccer" is that she is so happy while she is chasing the ball. Look at that happy smile. I just love this girl!

Natural cowgirl, Mara loved her pony ride at Thanksgiving Point.

super hero extravaganza!

Mara loves shoes - she talks about them all the time. Tonight she demanded to sleep with a sandal.

the race

It was so nice to spend some time outside. Mara loved it. She cruised up and down the sidewalk in her walker.

Here's Ashton lying on the ground screaming his head off after a failed attempt to start riding by himself. He tends to be a bit dramatic. It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but I thought I should document it. He's such a funny boy.

Ashton's first day of riding without training wheels. He's a natural. It only took a few tries and he was riding by himself. He tends to get frustrated really easily, though.

Mara was so excited to be outside. We had to keep chasing after her walker and bringing her back (she still can't walk - probably because of the walker).
