And............We have a Pre-Schooler!

Sophie was SO excited to go to pre-school. The first thing she told her teacher was, "I brought my backpack and my lunchbox."

I can't believe she is old enough to go to pre-school.......where has the time gone????

Hide and Seek

She's 3!

I can hardly believe Sophie is 3! Where has the time gone? Sophie wanted a princess birthday party....so princesses we had! All her little friends showed up in full princess attire for a morning of princess fun.

Best Friends

Sophie and Aubrey love to play with each other. I love to watch them play...many smiles and many giggles can be seen and heard when they are together...absolutely precious!

More catching up......July

Finally a beach day!
Aubrey enjoying her new set of wheels.Doesn't everybody wear their princess dress and push their baby in the stroller while they walk by the beach?
I love this photo! Our little beach princess enjoying her ice cream cone amongst strangers.....
Happy 4th of July!

A look back at June

It's been MONTHS since I last blogged...where has the time gone? These girls keep us so busy!!! Here are some photos from June.

Aubrey's first time in the pool....and she loved it!
Sophie at swim lessons. A little timid at first but now she loves the pool and is so proud of herself that she can put her head underwater...it's the little things in life.....

And......we have a crawler (4 weeks ago that is)

Sweethearts

Sophie is hugging her sweet friend Ryan. These two are so cute together. Ryan is moving in a few weeks and we are so sad to see him and his family go.

Classic boy/girl. Soph is sitting on the Princess side of the bookshelf reading Princess books while Ryan is sitting on the Cars side reading books about Cars.
So sweet.

It's A Small World.....Sophie style

Eight Months Old

This is Sophie at eight months old. Two girls, oh so different and both so special!

Weekend Fun

A few weeks ago we headed up to the LA Zoo to see the animals and meet Bert, Ernie and Grover who were visiting the zoo! Sophie was so excited to meet them. We stopped at my sisters house afterwards for some cousin playtime.


Busy and sweet girls.
I love this photo of Sophie and Isabelle. The girls were trying to see who could scream the loudest!

Sometimes Mom needs a nap!

Most Days.....

Most days, this is how I find Aubrey right after she wakes up from her nap....so smiley!

Happy 7 Months Old Sweet Aubs!

Eggs, eggs and more eggs!

Easter weekend began with decorating Easter eggs, egg hunts, more egg hunts and Easter dinner with family and friends. Sophie understood much more clearly this year that the point was to find as many eggs as possible and that there was chwacolate (chocolate) in them. Of course the egg hunts were so much fun, but Easter is such a significant time to remember that Christ died to save us all. He is Risen indeed!Sophie and her sweet friend Paige embarking on a very serious Easter egg hunt!
Sophie and Aubrey on Easter morning. We hid some eggs that morning for Soph to find...and for Aubrey to chew on.
We had Easter dinner at my sisters house along with their friends. 6 kids, three 2.5 year olds and three babies....yes it was very busy! This is a photo of five of the girls..Aubrey is missing.
Isabelle is very serious about her egg hunt.
