It's really amazing how spunky this little girl can be. She really has a personality that's all her own. She can be very sarcastic for a four year old and some times very naughty. But, she certainly loves to pose for mommy to take pictures.
Mikayla, our little helper....This little girl wants to help in everything she does. She is such an easy going kid and she's a very well behaved young lady.
this was her pose idea....in front of the school building 
Mikayla finished up her last season with the U8 group...she will be moving up in the Fall...she has some pretty funny candids here...what a stride....
here she looks like she knows what she's doing.....you go girl!
some extra photos on the sidelines.....
she almost looks like she's doing a little dance here....{note: she's looking at the parents not at the ball}
now I know where Alexis get her funny soccer face from....again I have no idea what my children are thinking...HaHa
Alexis took a trip with her preschool to a local greenhouse...they learned about all the things that help plants grow....
he really had their attention...
another round of poses.....sorry I just can't get enough of this beautiful little girl
play break....
back to photo op....
Mikayla was invited to a skating party....this was interesting since the girls really never had a good opportunity to learn to skate....lucky for us the skating rink had these clever braces for young learners....sorry pictures are not so great....it was very dark inside the rink.
more soccer candids....this one cracks me up....she was all by herself, nowhere near the ball...and she trips....we really should have named her "Grace"
not quite sure where the ball is, but it looks like they are all headed in the same direction...not sure where all the yellow team is....
sideline shot....
over Memorial Day weekend, we joined a group and went camping near a local amusement park....we spent a few hours at the park....

over Memorial Day weekend, we joined a group and went camping near a local amusement park....we spent a few hours at the park....right inside the entrance is the skylift....as I'm not a huge fan of heights, I quickly volunteered to sit with the little ones and wait at the bottom, on the ground....Joe, Samantha, and Casey enjoyed the ride.
one of the first rides that all the girls went on was the swings...Mikayla was not too fond of the ride...in fact she was crying during the ride, she didn't like it at all....all the rest of the girls loved it
this was a big deal to Joe and I....since we both are retired race car drivers, it was extremely awesome to have a child that was thrilled to get behind the wheel...She was so excited and she did amazing....I think she has it in her blood
just plain thrilled....no hesitation
look at that determination....she had so much fun....and we were thrilled for her
look at her maneuver the turn....she was a little wide....we could help her with that
Alexis was absolutely fearless with all the rides....she was so excited to ride with daddy on this ride....
Mikayla was content with watching from outside the gate...
Sam sat with Mia on the same ride....
Joe's having some fun....Casey enjoyed the seat across from Joe
the ride was really spinning now....and Mikayla was just content watching
the next day we packed up and headed to the pool at the amusement park....as we were waiting for the guys to meet back up with us after they parked we had a little photo op....
the girls in their cool shades....
right before this Mikayla cracked her head on the tree....she put on a nice smile for the camera...
they had a great time in the water....it was way too crowded for me....I was ready to go back to the campground as soon as we walked in...Mikayla was in the water as long as she could, she really had a good time...
and my handsome husband enjoying some cold ones back at the campfire...
our school district does a DARE program for all the students in 5th grade...it is run by the local police and they do a nice {very lengthy} graduation for the kids at the end of the year....here Casey received her diploma from the officers
then to my surprise, she got up with a chorus group to sing "Lean on Me"...it was very cool...and yes that kid does have a huge mohawk
Mikayla's soccer team held an end of the year party with the kids playing against the parents...we had a lot of fun and the kids loved the part when they got their medals....their coach also gave them a magazine cover photo...very cool
and of course some candy....

the older girls took off, so we didn't get any photos of them...
Alexis was enjoying the shallow water, she just kept going up and down the steps..
