Diva!

Mia with her goggles on for the senior assassin game she is playing at Camas! She has a person she has to shoot with a water gun during the week, but if you have on goggles you have immunity and can't get out. We shall see how long she makes it! Winner gets $1800!!

Nyla loves playing with the face paint!

She spent almost 2 hours painting her face!

xzzcccccccccccccccccc

In the mail was a flyer for University of the Pacific and OSU, her final two college choices! 

What will she choose???

Nyla wanted to have a baby in her baby carrier, too!

So precious!

Nyla loves dogs! Well most of them, as long as they are chill and don't jump up on her!:)

Volunteering in the concessions for track!

Dancing with her BFF!

Big sis-little sis! They love their time together! So sad they will be apart in a few months!

Nyla wanted to join in on Senior assassin, too!!

Happy 3rd birthday, Noah! Nyla was so happy to celebrate on of her bestie's birthdays!

Such a cute family! Looking forward to caring for their baby girl later this year!

This is what a 2 hour birthday party, a baseball double header, and 3 b-ball games, and no nap looks like! Get to snuggle with Sittee and her binky/blanky at the last b-ball game!

Love cheering on Kyrie with these two special women! Oh that sounds weird calling Mia a woman now that she is 18!!!
