Conversations with Sophie

Sunday afternoon....

Sophie: Whippets get their ears pierced sometimes.
Me: No, whippets don't get their ears pierced.
Sophie: Yes, someone told me that.
Me: Who told you that?
Sophie: I went in my room and prayed and Jesus told me that Whippets get their ears pierced.

Today in the car....

Sophie: I want to have a lot of children.
Me: That's great Sophie!
Sophie: I want 3 children
Eliza: 3 is NOT a lot of children!
Sophie: Mom, is 3 a lot of children?
Eliza: NO Sophie, 24 is a lot of children!

Happy Birthday Eliza!

My 4th of July Baby is 9!
Happy Birthday Eliza, you are beautiful inside and out!!!!

Happy Birthday Hannah!

I've been working on scanning pictures so I thought it would be fun to make 

a slide show of Hannah for her birthday. 

I'm so proud of Hannah!  She is never afraid to do what's right 

and makes good choices even when her friends are not. 

Hawaii

The kids had their last day of school on June 12th and we started our vacation right away!  That afternoon we boarded a plane and were off to Hawaii for 10 days. 

We were on Oahu in Ko Olina at the Marriot Beach Club.  It was a beautiful resort with three pools and a water slide.  Hannah and Eliza LOVED the slide.

Bill and the girls after a ride on the slide.

Sophie just wanted to play mermaid.  Here she is doing her "mermaid" pose.

Hannah taking a break from the slide to play mermaid with Sophie.

The Polynesian Cultural Center - 

How do you like Eliza's tatoo?

One of our FAVORITE places was turtle beach.  

Hannah looking good while snorkeling with the turtles.  

They were so close we could reach out and touch them.  It was SOOOOOO fun!

Eliza, Sophie, Hannah and cousin, Kristin, at Pearl Harbor.
