Sophies Birthday

Sophies birthday was so much fun. All of her little girl cousins and friends came over dressed up like princesses and Cinderella herself came to the party. When Cinderella came to our door and Sophie saw her she went running back into the house she was so suprised and excited. her and her friend Kylee could not stop talking to Cinderella about anything and everything. She played games with the girls, told them a story about being a princess on the inside first, they did a craft together she even painted their fingernails. All of the girls were so excited to be playing with cinderella. It was absolutely adorable. She gave each of the girls a lipstick and a necklace and Sophie will not ut hers down she even gave Sophie her very own special tiara from Cinderella. Thank you so much for helping us make such wonderful memories. I know this is something Sophie will be talking about for a long time.

Happy Birthday Sophie

Sophie has grown so much and her personality continues to grow with her. I have always felt that Sophie has this huge personality trapped in a tiny little body but lately she has only convinced me more of that. Some of the funny things she says lately:
"Your making me nuts" (Whenever you are bothering her)

If you ask her How are you Sophie? she says "2"

She is excited for her upcoming birthday and invites whoever she thinks is nice to her. Recently we went to park City for a girls day and she asked like 10 ladies that were working at the stores if they would come to her Cinderella party and "don't forget to wear your princess dress" she even asked the checker at wal-mart yesterday if she would come.

She continues to insist that her baby brother is a girlie and that he can wear dresses and will love the color pink.

I have been trying to teach her that it is important to not be lazy and I turn off the TV and tell her to go play for a little while. Now she turns the tv off on me or daddy telling us "your being lazy"

She loves to wear dresses but lately she wants her Sunday dresses and she goes to her closet pulls them off the hanger and then puts them on on top of whatever clothes she is already wearing and dances around the house.

When she is mad at us for something she says "I'm not talking to you hmm"

Whenever daddy says I love you she says "I love Mommy"

She is constantly trying to boss people around including mom and dad so I always tell her to stop being so bossy. She is also learning about manners so now she tells us "can you please not boss me?"


Sophie is such a beautiful blessing in our lives. I have loved the last three years being her mom and watching her learn and grow.

Targeted UltraSound

We just went in today for the targeted ultrasound. Baby boy Strong looks perfect and healthy. She pointed out that his second toe is longer than his first and that he has really long toes of course we already knew that because jer, me and Sophie all have the long toes. The doctor teased us with Sophie that she could either play piano with her toes or hang from trees so naturally baby brother will have the long toes. When she measured his head she was looking at the computer strange and I said let me guess he has the huge strong head. She just laughed and said OK that is also a trait you are familiar with. Sophie has always been in the 98th percentile for her head and the 2nd percentile for her weight no wonder she is so clumsy. His heart looks strong, all of his parts are there and so far he is still a boy. I know from these pics he looks more like an alien than anything else but I can already tell that he is going to have his dads features at least his mouth and nose look like jeremy to me.

The Pumpkin Patch

We went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch with our family on Tuesday and it was so much fun. Sophie wanted a tiny green pumpkin. She carries it with her everywhere I cannot convince her to put it on the front porch with mommy and daddys pumpkins. This is one of my favorite fall traditions one that I hope to continue as our children grow.
