SOPHIE

Sophie is such a funny little girl! She has grown up so much and has become quite the jabber mouth. Some of her favorite things is say is "why?", "cause", "hewwo", "binty", "toot", "puppy", "more peese", and "tant tu". Her favorite songs to sing are the ABC's, Sunbeams, and Old McDonald. She loves to watch Dora the Explorer. She can count to about 14 and just loves her "puppies" (sisters). She is super silly and can't sit still, especially in Sacrament meeting when a couple weeks ago she decided to go to the top of the stand and run back and forth saying "hewwo"...yep I didn't know what to do because running after her would have caused more attention and she would have just screamed and ran away from me. Luckily I lured her back with an empty wrapper of fruit snacks. Very embarrassing! Sophie gives the best loves and kisses! I can't believe that she turns 2 this month. She brings so much fun and personality to our home! Gosh I love her!!!

Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day I got to go to Emma's preschool for a little party. I love when I get to spend alone time with the girls because it doesn't happen enough! Valentine's day was on Sunday so we celebrated with heart shaped pancakes for breakfast and a yummy dinner after church! I made BJ's favorite food, his spaghetti recipe and tomatoes with fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. YUMMY! Then for dessert we had crepes filled with Nutella, strawberries, bananas, and ice cream. Mmmm! That is a lot to LOVE between the food, my hubby, and our girls!!! I am so LUCKY!

Christmas Eve Pajamas

Christmas Eve at Grandma Charla's & Grandpa Paul's

It is a tradition to go to Brandon's parents house on Christmas Eve. We eat lots of yummy food, break a pinata, exchange presents, & the kids do the nativity. Here is a picture of Emma when she was going to be a lamb (not so happy) & then instead she got to be Mary (a definite change of attitude. Don't worry though, she didn't get to be Mary because of her bad attitude, it goes by age & the one who was supposed to be Mary didn't want to).

Date with Grammy, Papa, & Chase

For Christmas each year my parents take us on a date with them. This year my brother Chase had just gotten home from his mission so he got to come with us which was a lot of fun. We rode the Front runner to Salt Lake and then went to an Imax movie and then to dinner at Biaggi's. Spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do!!! Thanks Grammy & Papa!!!

Christmas Dinner Exchange

For Christmas this year instead of drawing names we did a "Favorite Things" exchange. So we each spent $10 on everyone (the same thing, different colors) and we decided it would be more fun to exchange the gifts at dinner. We went to Windys Sukyaki and in between each course we would open one person's gift. It was so wonderful to spend time with the girls and much more fun than drawing names!!!

The Varmit

Yep! She is a little stinker!!!

Go Aggies

Maddie did the Aggie Cheer Camp and then got to perform at half time. She loved it and did a great job! The other girls had a lot of fun watching the game. We love the Aggies!!! 11.7.2009
