Packages are fun!

We received a www.diapers.com order and Sophie thought this was the best present ever. She had so much fun playing in the box and with the packing material that I had to grab my camera and get some fun shots.

New Shoes

 Where do these go?

 Early walking video shot in June

Mama what are these?

Since Sophie was walking we had to go to Stride Rite and get her some shoes. It took a little while to get used to the shoes but after about a day I would say we had it down.

Here are some pics of Soph and her new kiks! And a video of when she was first walking. 

Sophie's first trip to Disneyland

On the Jungle Cruise

This summer took Sophie to Disneyland for the first time. I am not a big amusement park person I didn't go frequently as a child and it honestly isn't something that I crave or even really want to do. But when were invited by my best friend and her family of course I was excited to go. I was unsure on how Sophie would do but life is too short to pass up opportunities that might not come along again and if we needed to leave early that was always an option. So off we went to the happiest place on earth. Getting to see Disneyland through your child's eyes for the first time is amazing. Sophie absolutely loved it. We went on It's a small world which she stood up and danced to the music the entire time and looked at all the funny characters on the ride. We also went on the Jungle Cruise which she loved. She is a huge fan of animals so she really thought that was fun. It was a great day we got to spend the day with my best friend Shannon, her husband Kenny and their 3 kids.  One of the best days of the summer for sure. I will always remember that day. Love you Webster Family and thank you for inviting us to Disney we can't wait to go with you again!

One of my favorite things this summer was throwing a Baby Shower for my dear friend Sarah. It was so fun to plan and participate in this special event for baby Aidan. Sarah is one of my closest and dearest friends I was so honored to share in this special time for her and her husband. I can't wait for our expanding family's to share, family vacations, thanksgivings, Christmas's and make many memories together. Congrats to the new family of 3!

Spring 2011

Sophie is walking/running, talking, dancing, laughing and keeping us busy. This summer was filled with a bunch of new things for all of us and watching my little lovie explore the world has given me so much happiness and joy. I am trying to soak up every minute so I have let other things slip through the cracks like blogging. Sophie learned to walk at just 9 1/2 months. Which means I haven't had a chance to sit down, enjoy a meal, update the blog or do anything but chase her around 24/7!  She is on the move and ready to explore EVERYTHING. Which we are in full support of most of the time. We also took her on her first plane trip to Spokane Washington for my cousins wedding. We had a great time visiting family that we haven't seen in a long time. Summer was filled with fun, friends, and family time.  Here are some fun photos that documenting our first Summer together as a family. 

Mother's Day

Thank you to my mom for teaching me how to be a good mom to Sophie

Steve made my first Mother's Day so special. My Mom was out of town so Steve made sure the day was all about me. He bought me a very beautiful Sapphire and Diamond necklace and earrings. Then Sophie and Steve took me to breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast spots Bonjour Cafe. He made sure I didn't lift a finger and we spent the day together as a family which was all I wanted. Thank you to my amazing husband for making my first Mother's Day so special one I will never forget. Thank you to my amazing daughter for making me a mom. It is the best and most important title I will ever have. I love you Sophie more than words can express. You fill my heart with more love every day.
