A Dobbins' Day

Happy Summer Everyone! I'll be back in August. I might update and I might not. So far I haven't been that good at it. Sorry. Enjoy some relaxing times this summer, I know I will!

I've been trying to get some posts caught up, but now I need to step back into the present to tell you a few things that have been going on. This first is about this little lady, and then I'll do a post about Cannon's leg. Hopefully I'll be able to continue to go back, but I might just have to move forward. Time keeps on going! (This is the post that I did for my sister Sara's blog.) WELCOME SOPHIA GRACE! This little girl sure wasn't ready to make an appearance! She was a week overdue, when the Dr. said it was time to induce. That didn't go very smoothly either. She really didn't want to come, but after over 24 hours of labor she came by c-section. Mom and baby are doing great. She was born on Thursday, June 3rd at around noon. She is 6 pounds and 13 ounces and is 19 inches. She really is quite perfect. Alber says that she is beautiful just like Sara. Great Grandma Coral just loves her and was glad that she was able to come see her. I can't wait for...

We set up the dying area outside, just in case there were any spills. We had a TON of eggs. Each kid got to do like a dozen. They loved it. The older boys were more patient and would keep their egg inside the cup for a long time in order to get a darker color. The little kids just liked plopping them into the cups as fast as they could. We're getting excited for the Easter Bunny!

The kids just love playing outside in the playhouse. It is filled with everything they could need to play house with. Sometimes its just the girls and their "babies" but this time the boys played too. They had a restaurant with an outdoor cafe style table this time. I just love how their imaginations have fun.

We went to Missouri the first weekend in April. The first thing that the kids did was play outside on the trampoline. They all had a blast. The big boys even slept out there one night. It was fun to watch them playing.

The following pictures of Isaac's lacrosse game are brought to you by: Isaac has really played well this season. He mainly plays defense, and he is great! I like to watch him play. Lacrosse is a very exciting game to watch. Its kinda like ice hockey on grass. These next pictures were taken "paparazzi" style. Even Sister McDonald got caught!

Hunter has been playing great this season. He is really good about getting the ball and throwing it to the base (even if the person that is supposed to be catching it isn't ready). When there is someone ready, he's gotten a few kids "out". They started letting them take more than one base when they hit, and one game he hit a triple! He says that he's glad the season is over, he wants to do something else. I think he's enjoyed it though.
