A few quick pictures

Mike and I ran a 5K this afternoon. Mike did great (finished 5th overall). I beat my goal time and came in 4th in my age group! It was really fun and we're planning on doing another one in May!

Since Mike finished way ahead of me, he was able to get a picture of my as I got close to the finish line.

The girls helped daddy put together their new picnic table.

We went to a little friend's birthday party...they rented a fake train and the kids loved it!

Sophie's second soccer game was yesterday morning. We lost pretty bad, but it was also absolutely freezing, so I don't think anyone cared...we just wanted the game to be over!

The spectators all bundled up

Elephants, soccer and birthday parties!

Our zoo welcomed back it's 2 elephants last week; they've been away in Tulsa trying to get pregnant, and our zoo has been making a new habitat for them while they were gone. We went to the unveiling on Thursday...it is really cool!! Hope all the grandparents are ready to go back to the zoo when they come visit again!

Sophie had her first soccer game on Saturday. She was excited to play (although when we got to the field, I had to bribe her with a movie to get her to play. She must have gotten shy all of a sudden!)

Poor Elsie...she wanted to play too!

Our coach quit at the last minute, so as you can see from this picture, our new coach is the one and only Mike Rabus!!!!!! He did a great job and has a great future as a soccer coach!

Sophie is so girly...she's twirling her hair during the game!

You can see her blonde pigtails as she runs after the ball.

After the game, we went to Elsie's friend Gehrig's birthday party. She spent most of the time in a barbie jeep with her other friend, Jackson.

These are just some cool pictures that Mike took of the kids.

Our handsome boy all dressed up for church (you'll have to excuse the drool!)
