Sofie's stockings

Sofie was playing with the stockings the other day and wanted to put the "Shoos" on.


This picture is really for Nathan. I was trying to email it to him but our email attach button says error on page when you try to attach anything. But it is a picture of our Christmas tree obviously. Sofie loves the decorations but she can't get to them. In the bottom of the picture you can see a little bit of the barricade that Nathan built. For this year it will stay how it is, hopefully next year we will paint it and decorate it.

A little bit of trouble and a whole lot of cute!

Sofie dumping out her fish and wondering where the ones in the bag went.

Sofie discovered how to climb up on the table.

Like my lobster claws.
Just a cute picture.

Cousin Ethan and random pictures

We were able to see Chris, Alyssa and Ethan last week. Here are a couple of pictures of Sofie and Ethan together. Sofie was giving Ethan a cute hug and then suddenly a poke in the eye (sorry Ethan)









Sofie found a new toy to play with (Ethan's car seat). She loved the buckles and obviously thought she had a new seat.
She put her Bronco hat on all by herself. She was pretty proud of herself.



We bought this little seat at a garage sale and Sofie loves it. Here she was chillin with her string cheese. I love this picture with her smile.

The other day I was trying to make dinner. So I taped some paper to the table and gave Sofie some crayons. I started making dinner and then realized that it was too quiet behind me. I turned around to find Sofie with a blue mouth and a partially eaten crayon. Then she decided it was time to be done and ripped the paper up. Oh well so much for that idea. Maybe in a couple months.

Our Little Ladybug

Sofie was a ladybug for Halloween. We took her out to two of the neighbors houses and started to go more but it was pretty cold. She was really cute waddling down the sidewalk in her over sized costume.

Happy Halloween

Nathan, Sofie and I went to this neat little place today called Gardner Village. It has all these little shops that are full of really pricey and breakable things that little hands are just itching to grab. But really the shops are full of fun Christmas ornaments and villages and there is a petting zoo and also horse drawn carriage rides with witches as the tour guides. It was a really fun place to go on a slightly cool autumn day. They decorated really neat with all sorts of Halloween items they had fake witches and literally hundreds of pumpkins, it wasn't the scary Halloween either. We took quite a few cute pictures of Sofie today but here are just a few. We might go back when she is wearing a slightly more fall looking outfit, Hope you enjoy.

Fun Games

Sofie, Nathan, and I play a game where one of us is holding Sofie and the other one hides around the corner and jumps out at her. She will grab onto our neck and bury her face in our shoulder and squeal. although in these pictures she is just laughing at us. She is so fun to play with, very interactive now. It is fun to see how much she has grown and changed since she was born. She has also cut two molars this last week, one top and one bottom both on the same side. The poor girl is not feeling well, but who can blame her.

Trip to Idaho

We were able to go to Idaho this last weekend. We had a fun time and were able to help Nathan's Grandparents harvest all their vegetables. They didn't expect the first frost so soon and needed to pick everything or it would all go to waste. Nathan and I had fun, it is funny when you are a kid you don't appreciate things. The smell of the fresh vegetables off the vine almost made me want to eat the things we were picking (almost). They also grow grapes and before we got there they bottled there famous grape juice. Nathan and I drank so much we both had heartburn. Pretty stupid of us. But one of the things you can do with the juice is make jelly, so I made jelly this weekend. It was really good(especially on ice cream). Sofie had a great time with her Great-Grandparents and I am pretty sure they had fun with her. When we were there we got a little snow, here is a picture of Sofie that day and some other fun pictures from the trip. Hope you enjoy.
