Stupid Trick of the day

Well we had an eventfull day. Sofie and I were going to go to Story time at the library and didn't quite make it. I was pulling out of the driveway and our garage door opener wasn't working so I pulled forward to close the garage door and jumped out forgeting to put the car in park. Here is the result of that two second error.

It was all happening in slow motion, I was running trying to catch up to the van to jump in to stop it and the next thing I know the van knocked me down. I am pretty sure at this point is where the van ran over my leg. I jumped up and put the car in park after it stopped. I turned it off and ran around to get Sofie out. My leg was in some pain, so when I got Sofie out I looked at my leg and it was rather swollen. I had already called Nathan and he was quickly on his way home. I thought I should probably get to the doctor to have my leg looked at and also to check the baby. I called my friend Lissel, all I said while sobbing is "I have to go the the hospital and I don't have a car". She said I'll be there in 5 min. So we get to the ER and they begin doing all the things that happens when you get to sit in the ER forever. Thankfully nothing is broken. They did have me watching for signs that would signal a muscle that is dying and a emergency surgery where the doctor said they would pretty much have to fillet my leg open. I said that's o.k. but I need a blessing now. So anyways Lissel thankfully took Sofie home with her and took care of her until we were home. Nathan and I finally got home and I got a blessing. We had the tow truck come and pull the van out, they towed it to the dealers and guess what, nothing is wrong with the car. Can you believe that after running it through the garage the only thing is a couple scratches and dents. The only thing I can say is that we are truly blessed. I keep thinking of all the different scenarios and this one had to be the best one for something that was going to happen. If the car was in reverse instead of drive who knows where the car would have stopped, probably in the neighbors front room. All in all I have to say that we were really being watched over today, and I am grateful for a Husband that just said it's no big deal it can all be fixed. But everything and everyone is just fine. Sofie didn't even really know what had happened she was just sitting in her seat eating her fruit snacks and the baby is fine too. The heartbeat was normal and everything sounded good.
Here is my leg, I am sure the bruises will change to nice shades in the next couple days. Maybe I will post more pictures later.

Birthday, MTC and random pictures

In the last couple of weeks My parents and youngest sister Laura drove out to Utah to drop Emily of at the MTC. She will be leaving for Australia on Monday, I am sure she is ready to be out in the mission field. We had a birthday party for Sofie when they were here, and she also got another package from Uncle Shawn and Aunt Lanita. She is one rather spoiled little girl. We have been going to the library on Wednesday mornings for story time and Sofie loves it. Every morning when she wakes up she asks to go the the library. We also found a place called the family center where they do story time and preschool prep on Tuesday and Thursdays but they aren't as fun. They don't sing or dance like they do at the library one.
Taking Emily to the MTC, Sofie is such a goof ball.

The birthday party with my parents. Thanks Mom and Dad for everything.


The shoes and coat that Uncle Shawn and Aunt Lanita sent. In the picture where she is opening the box she is saying "shoes". These are all princess shoes and she loves them.

Sofie is helping me make coffee cake. Usually I put on a movie and sit her in front of it when I am trying to get something done. Today I decided why not let her help. I had to stop her from dumping the whole jar of cinnamon in the bowl and trying to dump the whole bowl from great heights but we did fine and the cake turned out great. (like our jello, stove top and twizlers in the back ground. Maybe I should have cleaned up a little bit)
Our little movie star. She went to her friend Elena's birthday party and had a candy bracelet all over her arm so she needed a bath. The glasses and necklace came from the gift bag, and that is her princess towel.
Just a cute one of her sleeping.

No pictures with this one but a cute story. I finally talked Sofie into trying to feel the baby, She was singing to him and telling him "come here baby". Then later in the day she went up to Nathan and pulled up her shirt asking him, while patting her belly, do you want to feel the baby. She is so funny and you never know what she will come up with next.


*****Wow I just realized that I haven't posted since we hooked up the high speed internet, Holy Cow is it a whole lot faster.*****

The morning after

The morning after her birthday she had to play dress up. She had lots of fun and I finally convinced her to take off the clothes to go to the doctor. She is in the 50th percentile for height and weight and she is doing great. Luckily no shots now until she starts school, which I am sure will come way too soon.

Sofie's 2nd Birthday

We had a little birthday party for Sofie today. We had the Cox's and the Dalton's and Chris, Alyssa and Ethan over for cake and ice cream. It was a lot of fun, Sofie had a blast running around with all the little kids. She got great things from everyone.
I love this picture of Nathan and Sofie. This is how she looked before church, she didn't look like this 3 hours later.
Here is the back view of her hair and her pretty little bow.
This is the little Nemo cake that I made. I looked all over Utah for the cake toppers and I happened to find them by accident at the dollar store just down the street, go figure.
She was really scared of the candles. That was something unexpected.
These are some of the little girls that came over. Sofie in her new tiara, She is now officially a princess. As if she wasn't already one.
Another one of her funny little faces.
Chris brought things to make bubbles, this was a big hit with all the little kids. They all ended up very soapy, but very happy.

HELP!!!

Would someone with high speed internet tell me if the baby countdown on the side is working. Our internet is too slow and I can't tell if it works. Besides the fact that I am completely computer illiterate, which doesn't help matters. Guess what though the problem with faster internet will astonishingly be remedied this next week. Nathan and I bit the bullet and signed up for high speed. There have been some issues with people not being able to get a hold of Nathan for appointments for church and with Nathan going back to school we figured it was just time to do it.

Happy Birthday to Sofie!!

For Sofie's Birthday (a little early) we pierced her ears. She was so excited to have earrings, but then they did it. I was holding her and she tensed up, she started crying and then I started crying. I looked at Nathan and said how did we do this to our child. I think she got over it long before I did with the help of a lollipop. She couldn't seem to get comfortable last night for bed, she likes to sleep on her belly and wasn't able to do that. But she really likes them and will touch them and and just say earrings.
Here is another treat she got after the ordeal. (Ice Cream)
We went to pick Nathan up from work on Friday and Julie his boss had a present for Sofie. I love her expression in the first picture. This is pretty typical response for just about anything new. But I think it was because of the shoes that were attached to the outfit. She is all about the shoes.
The other day we were able to go the the zoo with out friend Melissa and her little girl Zoey Her Mom and some other family members. They were able to get us in for free and it was great. Sofie had a great time and as you can see by the second photo was getting a little hot. The last picture is most of the kids that went with us.

New Pictures

Oh, what a girl can do in high heels. If I don't keep my bedroom door closed she is in my closet digging out pairs of shoes.




A lady at Nathan's work gave us some things for Sofie and the new baby. One of the things was this helmet. She would not take it off the first day we got it. She had to wear it the whole way through dinner.

I guess it's pretty boring around here. Sofie invented a new game called swinging from the table.
