  • Play date at the park..

    Sophia, Nate and I recently went on a much needed play date to the park. If we havent told you before, Sophia LOVES the outdoors!! We try and do as much as we can outdoors with her as she enjoys it so much. One evening after dinner we took her to the park, and we had such a good time enjoying each other’s company and playing with our girl..

    Daddy caught this precious moment- my heart overflows with love for her!

    We are making so many deposits of love into our bank account!

  • 4th of July BIG beach post!

    Over the 4th of July at our stay at Grandview, we took the kids out everyday most times twice a day to play at the beach and boy did they LOVE that! Like i stated in my last post, last year Sophia did NOT like standing, walking or sitting in the sand. However, this year she conquered that! She was hesitant at first, but then overcame that after seeing how much fun her cousins were having. In fact, it became a struggle just to get her to leave the beach, they had a blast as you will see in the pictures.

    Almost everyday she wanted to wear this lifejacket out to the beach..

    In between playing at the beach, we also played on the playground. Sophia loved being able to swing in a “big girl” swing all by herself 🙂

    As you can see the kids had a fabulous time and so did we!

  • Independence Day!

    We love July 4th. We love it because it represents Summer, freedom and celebration. In celebrating we always make the most amazing memories. We joined Grandma & Grandpa Mund, Aunt Steph & Uncle Levi and your cousins James & Cole again for our yearly vacation up North. This year we went to Grandview Lodge. You were all dressed up like a little firecracker and had so much fun playing with your cousins.

    You conquered walking in the sand at the beach and had a blast playing in the water. You also learned to play croquet, mastering it with mommy’s help.

    WE HAVE PIGTAILS!! Plus she conquered not liking the sand like she did last year.

  • Halloween 2010

    Sophia’s second (first being able to participate), Halloween was such a blast!We chose Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz for her costume, and let me tell you she was SO adorable! We dressed her up and went over to Auntie Steph & Uncle Levi house and had dinner. After dinner I went with Steph and the boys trick or treating while Nate, Sophia, Gma and Gpa stayed home to hand out Halloween candy. We did not take Sophia out this year since she had a cold and we didn’t want to make it worse. Sophia had alot of fun playing with her cousins.

  • 101 Market Corn Maze ..

    This year we were also able to go to the 101 Market corn maze for some fun and to get pumpkins for carving! We went with Grandma Julie, Auntie Steph, and cousins James & Cole. The kids had so much fun playing in the corn pit, going to the petting zoo, and playing in the bouncy house. James also got to race his rubber duck in the water!

  • Apple Jack Orchards.

    This fall we made sure to be outdoors as much as we could before the freezing weather came! This is such a great time for doing fun new things as well. Sophia is at the age where she loves exploring new things, and is so intrigued by it all. We also love being able to bring her to new places and be able to experience those “firsts” with her.

    We went to Apple Jack apple orchards and took Sophia on her first pony ride. She loved it and was so upset when we took her away. She was quickly distracted by her cousin James that came with and the two of them had a blast playing on the hay bales
