Little hikers!

My sweet friend Stacey who lives down the street from us invited McKenna and I along for a hike with her kids pre-school group. It was so nice to be able to go and do something with just McKenna. With the new baby sometimes it feels that we don't get our special time. Dave watched little Reeve and we went up to City Creek. It was such a fun hike and kids were so good. McKenna had so much fun collecting leaves and random things she found on the trail. This seems to be her M.O. When she was in soccer (which she hated) she would just walk around the field and collect garbage. At least after every game the field had a through cleaning from our little one. Side note... speaking of soccer. I wanted to do some painting the other day and asked McKenna to help me. I found some clothes I didn't care if she got paint on. I said "here put these on so you can help me." It was her soccer shirt. She look at me panic stricken and said in a voice about to break into a full blown tissy fit. "Why did you sign me up for soccer?!?!" I said, "I didn't these are your painting clothes." Relieved, she put on the outfit and didn't mind a bit about getting paint on it. So, yeah, my daughter hates soccer. She just cracks me up with her little four year old dramas.

Tia! I am still laughing right now as I am writing this! I can totally see Mckenna picking up the garbage on the field during a game. She cracks me up and I miss her so much! I can't believe how big Reeve is getting. It looks like you guys had fun in Washington. MISS YOU!
