Ouch


Ouch. The laundry dry rack thing got the best of Sophie's cheek this weekend. She eventually got over it. I don't think daddy has yet.

Take me out to the ball game....

So Excited - Our neighbors called us up and asked if we wanted to go to the FM RedHawks game on Friday night. They said "we owe" them...so, we agreed that we'll take their free tickets, drink free beer, and hang out with them for a while. We do owe them after all.




This is Sophie's FIRST baseball game. She was so happy to be there


She cheered for the RedHawks the entire game!

She really is a student of the game. Watching very closely. Learning all of the players, stats, etc. so busy.






Hawkeye didn't make a great impression. But, what do expect when a huge red bird comes up and tries to play with you.

Gymnastics - Olympics 2020

Yesterday was Sophie's first day at gymnastics. She LOVED it. Pretty sure she'll be in the Olympics some day. Her favorite event is the balance beam.



When we were in a circle, and did "Bop Till You Drop", Soph did her own thing for a while. She eventually got into it - but her favorite part was watching all the kids.


She met a boy at class - and I think she's already flirting with him....she'll laugh at anything!




She was so busy - she tried just about everything!

After Gymnastics - we went our for dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. We probably should have ordered her her own salad bar - she ate a few plate-fulls of her dads! Playing makes a girl hungry I guess!

Her other "new trick" is smiling on command. It's not just funny to see her do it, but her smile really shows off her new teeth.

It must be summer....

Big weekend - The old Brakke's played in the annual Randy's Bar Golf Tournament (and did okay), while Sophie spent the day at some friends.

The next day was a perfect summer day! We played outside. Sophie is getting so good at running - on the cement. Well...maybe we have an accedent every now and then. She's really getting her 'summer legs' in shape!
