Vacation part 2

2011-10-07T20:03:00.000-07:00

We had a great time at Disney. Sophia had an awesome birthday. Here are a few pictures of our adventure. There is only a couple of Tristan cause he spent the week in his carrier sleeping. It must be nice to be 2 month old.

Vacation part 1

2011-10-07T15:30:00.000-07:00

So I dont have enough time to post more pictures, so here are a couple of pictures of our trip to Disney. I know Tristan is not in any of them but I will post some more very soon.

Sophia loved Disney, and she had a blast meeting all the fairies and princesses.

Tristan Daniel

2011-07-29T07:12:00.000-07:00

Tristan was born July 18 at 7:34pm. He was 5lbs 13oz and 19in long, which made him smaller than Sophia which was a surprise. He was a little jaundice so we had to keep taking him back to the hospital, and he went down to 5lbs 6oz, so they wanted to keep an eye on his weight. Right now he is at 5lbs 9oz so he's gaining weight and his jaundice levels have gone down. Sophia loves her brother and she loves to hold him. She is trying to adjust to having a new baby, but for the most part she is doing great. Here are a couple of pictures.

Trying to catch up

2011-05-13T09:50:00.000-07:00

It's been a crazy few months, so I have fallen behind on my pictures. Pat had surgery again, I am taking my last class before I graduate, we found out we are having a boy, and Sophia keeps me very busy. Everyone has been asking for pictures of Sophia, so here are a couple of pictures of the last few months. Easter
We bought Sophia a big playhouse for our back yard, and that is where she spends most of her days.

Sophia loves horses ,and since we are not getting a real horse Pat got Sophia this horse that she can sit on

Holiday Season

2011-01-10T10:12:00.001-08:00

Here are a few pictures of our holidays. Sophia had a lot of fun this Christmas, and she was so excited because Abuelo gave her a bike for Christmas. For New Years we went to Idaho to visit my friend Megan and she took a few pictures of us. We took a couple of pictures with her dog Hazard because Sophia LOVES her dog, which is funny because she is scared of most dogs. Thank you Hazard for posing with us.

Like I said she was very happy to get a bike from Abuelo. She told everyone she talked to that day.

She says this is her spotting scope.

Halloween

2010-11-13T08:44:00.000-08:00

I am a little late on these pictures, but since I started working I seem to not manage my time as well. Anyway for Halloween we got Sophia a fairy outfit that she would not wear. She wanted to wear her kitty tights and she could not see them with the other outfit. So really what she ended up wearing was a shirt that said "I love fairies" on it a little skirt, her tights of course, and the wings. Can't forget the wings because that is her favorite part. SHe still wears them around the house, and that is why I find glitter everywhere. Pat wanted her to wear the tiara, but she only wore it long enough for me to take a couple of pictures. She likes her hair free. So here are a few pictures of the trunk or treat at church.

This is Sophia and her friend Jerzie. They are inseparable

Two Years

2010-10-20T15:14:00.000-07:00

I decided to take Sophia's two year portraits, because anybody who knows how lives too far to take the pictures for me. Here they are:

The end of summer

2010-09-28T16:27:00.000-07:00

This summer we have actually kept pretty busy, but the end of summer was really busy. Sophia and I made lots of crafts for the house, crochet a blanket (which I don't have pictures of), made clothes, and I learned how to make bows for Sophia that she actually keeps in her hair. My dad came to visit for a few days. I had my wisdom teeth removed. Sophia turned two, and we went to Yellowstone. It was a fun summer. I have to warn you it is a picutre overload so enjoy. This is what we have been doing the last couple of months.

Made some art for Sophia's room. I know the words are not centered, but I put them there before I hung the other things
This is my favorite one

My dad got Sophia some bedding and she was very excited to lay on it

I made Sophia a growth chart

Sophia and Abuelo playing with her grocery cart

It's hard to get 4 people to look at the camera at the same time

Sophia's new tea set courtesy of her friend Jersie and her mom

She blew her candles all by herself. She was very proud

Our Trip to Yellowstone. It is beautiful country

Old Faithful

Keeping busy

2010-08-09T17:25:00.001-07:00

Pat has been gone for a few weeks and Sophia and I have tried to just keep ourselves busy. We have been to the park A LOT, to the fair, and to the pool a couple of times. The pool has a splash park attached to it, so Sophia can in the water without having to be inside the cold pool. We have had much fun. Here are a few picutes. I did not have the camera with me when we went to the fair, but she had a blast at the fair. We did not get home till 10 o'clock at night.

Tables

2010-08-05T13:38:00.000-07:00

I was lookign for a table for the birds cage to sit in, and I found three nesting tables at a garage sale for 10 bucks. I sanded them down and painted the one for the birds a few weeks ago. This week I painted one lavender for Sophia, but it just did not look right. So I cutted out soem scrapbooking paper and modge podged it on. I did not know what it was going to look like, but I liked it and so did Sophia. Anyway now all I have to do is find some chairs to go with it. Here are some pictures.

This is the smallest one of the three but it is the only one that I have not painted yet, and it looks exactly the same as the other ones. So this is the before pictures.

This is just a cute picture

Here is Sophia posing with her table.

And this is the after picture.

All things Utah

2010-07-13T07:49:00.000-07:00

They finally let Pat take some time off at work, so we decided to go to Utah for a week. We were extremelty busy the whole time, but we had lots of fun. We went to the water park, to the zoo, the aquarium, the lake, the temple, temple square, shopping, and many more. Now we are ready for a vacation from our vacation. Anyways here is a picture overload from our trip.

Sophia being silly after a day in Cherry Hill.

Weekend full of animals

2010-06-06T18:38:00.000-07:00

This weekend the Farmers Market opened so we went to check it out. They were giving horse rides for kids, so we decided to see how Sophia would do. She did cry, but she cried because she did not want to get down. She LOVED the horse ride. Then we went to the pet store to buy her a turtle, but instead we ended up with a bunny and two birds. She loves her new pets, and mommy loves them because they do not need to be walked.

Here is Sophia giving Benny kisses. Benny is close enough to Bunny that it works out quite well.

Do you think these shoes are safe?

2010-06-04T15:22:00.000-07:00

So I took Sophia skating for the first time. At first she did not really know what to think. She was a little weary of these new shoes I put on her that had wheels on the bottom. After a while, though, she warmed up a little and she had fun. That is until they turned the lights off in the skating area and she got scared. She wanted me to pick her up and I without thinking about the fact that I had skates on picked her up, and down we both went. She fell on top of me so there was no harm done. I on the other hand hurt for days and ended up in the Chiropractor's office. I am definitely not a little kid anymore. All in all we had great fun.

The smallest pair of skates they had were entirely too big for Sophia's tiny feet, so we had some problems keeping them on.

Birthday

2010-05-19T08:13:00.000-07:00

My first Birthday in Montana was pretty calm, but it was really nice. The day was beautiful and the temperature in the 80's so we got to wear shorts. I got some workout stuff including a video that kicked my butt, a purse, some flowers, and spent the day with Sophia. Went out to lunch and had ice cream for desert. It was a nice day. Here are a few pictures that Sophia and I took on my Birthday.

Gotta love the creepy arms coming at you!

Can't tell that she is dancing, but she had lots of fun.

At the end of the day she had crazy hair and no more smiles for the camera.

Easter

2010-04-07T08:36:00.000-07:00

For Easter I hid or more put eggs around the house so Sophia could find them. She actually had a lot of fun finding all the eggs, and finding the candy that I put inside the eggs. Now I have all the eggs roaming around the house, and I have pick them up everyday. Here are some pictures.

With Abuelo y Abuela in Washington

2010-04-07T07:59:00.000-07:00

In March Sophia and I drove to Washington to visit my dad. It was a long drive, but it was fun. I had never been there, and we had not seen my dad in a while so we decided to go. We went to the aquiarium, and we went to the pool almost everyday, which was Sophia's favorite time. We had a lot of fun. Here are some pictures of our trip.

We got to see a lot of animals at the aquiarium like these others and some really big seals.

Sophia got to touch the starfish, which was exciting because she loves the water.

Playing with Abuelo. Abuela made the mistake to let Sophia feed her a grape, and Sophia kept giving her more and more grapes.

There is no place like the drawer

2010-03-20T10:56:00.000-07:00

Sophia like to find the stranges places where she tries to fit herself, and this is just one of the many. The kitchen drawer! She took all my zyploc bags out of the drawer and sat in it.

Family pictures

2010-02-15T15:43:00.001-08:00

Here are some pictures that we got taken this weekend. They were supposed to be family pictures, but of course we ended up getting some of Sophia by herself. She is just too cute to pass up.

I can fit in here!!

2010-02-13T08:17:00.000-08:00

Lately Sophia has been getting into really small spaces. The other day I found her inside the kitchen cupboard, but I did not make it in time to take a picture. Yesterday I was in the computer and I saw this happen. It took a lot of work, but she made it in. After she got herself inside the bookshelf she did not know how to get out. She got a little upset, but it was so funny. The good news is that she figured it out, and I got the pictures.

I didn't do it

2010-02-13T08:04:00.000-08:00

One day I was cleaning the bathroom, and I was under the impression that Sophia was watching Dora. When I came out of the bathroom this is what I found. She was having so much fun that I just could not get angry. When I went to pick up all the cereal she started shoving it in her mouth as fast she could.

I love the snow!! Who knew?

2010-02-03T07:51:00.000-08:00

The other day I was being lazy and I did not want to work out, but after a while I felt guilty about being so lazy so I decided to shovel all the snow that we had on our porch and driveway. So I put Sophia in her snowsuit for the first time and decided that it was time for her to get to know the snow. This is very important since we live in Montana and there is a lot of snow. Anyways we went outside and I set her on the porch next to the snow, and she thought that was awesome. She played with the snow and soon she was sitting in the snow. She had a blast. At one point a looked at her and she was eating the snow. I was grateful that nothing had touch the snow since apparently snow is very tasty. We played outside for a very long time and when we came inside Sophia was sad, but I was cold so we came inside. I have to say that I was very proud of myself because I don't like the cold, but it was so much fun to watch her in the snow that we were out there for about ab hour. Anyways here are some pictures of Sophia in the snow!!

The last two months

2009-12-07T07:38:00.000-08:00

The last two months have been rather busy for everyone, but especially for my very busy girl. She learned how to go up and down the stairs and now that is all she wants to do all the time. She thinks it's hilarious. She laughs the whole time she is going up or down the stairs. We finally moved to Montana, after 7 months of waiting. Since she is a little lazy or prefers to do what she already knows and has shown no desire to walk we bought her a little car that turns in to a walker. She loves the little car, and she will walk with it but that is as far as she will go for now. Her hair has gotten much longer, but it is hard to tell because it has also gotten curlier. She definitely got that from me. She is also very busy. She gets into everything, and she is a very curious little one, so I have to always know what she is doing otherwise it could mean trouble. A few weeks ago she got a hold of her teething tablets and somehow managed to open the bottle. By the time I noticed they were all over the floor and she was shoving them in her mouth. I went to pick them up, and as I was doing that she was shoving them in her mouth faster. I am not sure how many she managed to eat, but I was grateful that they were natural and not a bunch of tylenol. She has finally learned to keep her socks and hat on when we are outside, but the fact that it is -10 in Montana today might have something to do with that. Anyways I posted a few pictures of the last couple of months.

One year old

2009-09-23T18:02:00.000-07:00

Today Sophia turned one. I can't believe it has been a year already. People tell you that time goes by so fast, and they are right.This last year has gone by so fast. She has changed so much in the last year that it is hard to believe. She did not cralw till she was 10 months old, but she has gotten very fast, and now she gets into everything. When she knows she is nto supposed to be doing something she looks at me and laughs. It is very cute, and a little annoying. She loves music and she dances to any song. She even dances to the hymns at church. She stands up and she is very proud of herself when she stands. She can say hello, hi, mama, dada, and when we pray at night she says meimei when I say amen. It is really cute. She has finally gotten her first tooth and she loves to feel it with her fingers. I think it is good because she does not want to eat baby food anymore and there is only so much I can feed her since she does not have any teeth to chew. She makes my days wonderful and I am happy that I get to stay home with her everyday. For her birthday I made her a cake and she had a blast eating it. there was cake everywhere. I am posting her birthday pictures. it was so much fun to watch her eat the cake.

It was a great Birthday and Sophia had so much fun eating her cake. There was cake everywhere, and when I say everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE! I thank Heavenly Father that he gave us the opportunity to have Sophia in our lives. She is wonderful. Happy Birthday Sophia!

My First Ponytail

2009-08-13T11:53:00.000-07:00

Sophia's hair is finally long enough to put in a ponytail. I have to say that this is very exciting. I was so excited I went to the store and bought all kinds of ponytail bands to use on her hair. The first ones I tried are very hard to get on her hair, so needless to say she does not like the procedure. The good thing is that she forgets that they are there and leaves them alone, which is very exciting because she takes everything else off. I was so excited that I decided that this is a worthy blog moment. She very rarely smile for the camera anymore, which I find annoying, but I am hoping she will grow out of it soon.

Growing up

2009-08-03T18:15:00.000-07:00

Time goes by so fast. I can't hardly believe that Sophia is already ten months old. She is very fun and it seems like everyday something about her changes. She is quite lazy in her young age. She can sit up and scoot, while sitting, accross the room, but when it comes to crawling she is very lazy. She can get on her hands and knees and rock back and forth, and then she throws herself forward so she can move. She can also do a low crawl that she uses to get accross the room because after a couple of times of throwing herself forward it starts to hurt, but she refuses to actually do a normal crawl. She moves her legs as if she is crawling but she drags her arms when she is doing that. It is actually quite amusing to watch.

She likes to makes faces at the camera, but unless I can catch her off guard she refuses to smile for the camera. She will be laughing and smiling, but as soon as I take the camera out she will stop smiling. I have to say it is rather annoying.

I love this little jumper and she looks so cute in it that I had to take pictures of her in it.

Her hair is getting so long that I can almost put it up in a ponytail. I have actually tried, but she rips it right off her head. Now that she has figured out that I am putting stuff in her hair it whatever it is it does not stay on very long. She has also inherited her mom's curly hair, and she is getting more and more curly as her hair grows.

Even though she is ten months old it seems like just the other day I was holding her for the first time in the hospital. She is turning out to be such an amazing little girl, and I love spending time with her.

Mashed Potatoes

2009-07-15T09:11:00.001-07:00

The other day Sophia was being very cranky during dinner, and she would not eat her food. She kept shrieking and whining. We were having mashed potatoes for dinner, so I decided to give her a big spoonful to quiet her up. She did not take to the potatoes very well. The potatoes were not runny at all so it was a different consistency from the apple sauce she was just eating. It was so funny that I decided to take some pictures.

After that she refused to eat the potatoes. She would not open her mouth, so I decided to put some mashed potatoes on her tray and she if she would eat them that way. She did eat them, which was great because it kept her entertained while I ate my dinner.

She had a lot of fun eating the potatoes. They were everywhere from her hair to inside her shirt, but at least now she will eat the potatoes. She will not wat them if you put them in a spoon, but she will eat them if she can do it herself.

Pool Time

2009-06-27T09:40:00.000-07:00

I was at the store a couple of weeks ago and I found this little kiddie pool, so I decided to buy for Sophia. We were going to go to the lake one day, but it was too crowded that day, so instead I decided to blow up the little pool and play at home instead. It is very nice that Sophia is still too little to know that we did not go to the lake, and she was very happy with the little pool.

The best thing about the little pool is that it came with little toys that she could play with, and she LOVED the rings that it came with.

She had a blast in the little pool. She even loved it better than the lake because I put warm water in the pool, so instead of freezing water it was like bath time, which she loves.

It was a really nice day outside so Sophia played in the pool for about an hour. It is pretty amazing how just splashing some water around with your legs and the rings can keep you entertained for an hour.

She really enjoyed the green stick because when you squeeze it it makes noises. So she squeezed it over and over again and over again.

It was a fun time and after and hour she got tired and laid down on the water, and decided that she really did not like that. That is when we decided it was time for a nap. We also decided that the pool has multiple puroposes. It keeps her entertained for a long time without me having to entertain her, and it tires her out so much that she takes a very long nap afterwards.

Daddy and me

2009-06-14T16:38:00.000-07:00

Pat had to go to Georgia to retrain for a different job, and since he had to leave for five months we decided to take some pictures of him and Sophia together. Most of the pictures turned out very cute, and as always Sophia was all for picture taking time.

Sophia LOVES the camera so when it was time to take pictures she started laughing, which was great because we got some really cute pictures of her and Pat.

Pat was sad that he had to leave and miss so much time with Sophia, but I think these pictures will make it a little easier for him while he is away.

As you can see Pat did not look as good as Sophia does in all the pictures!!!

New Blog

2009-05-19T07:05:00.000-07:00

I decided to start a blog and I have no idea what I am doing, so I am sure it will take me a while to get this darn thing to look like I want it to. Hillary told me it was easy, but I think she lied because I have been trying to figure it out and I have not been able to do much.
