one more makes four

We are adding to our little family. We are going to be having a baby in December, that makes us about 15 weeks along. We are very excited and a little nervous. I am due on the 16th but will most likely have to have another c-section so it will probably happen between the 5th-10th, which is o.k. it will be a little farther from Christmas. Right now we are completely rearranging our house to get ready for this new addition.

We also just got back from vacation and need to get some pictures posted. We had a great time visiting with Family. We were able to see Nathan's newest nephew Ty who is super cute and so little. My youngest sister Laura graduated from high school, and my sister Emily was able to receive her endowments in order to go on her Mission to Australia. We had a busy but fun two weeks and are glad to be back home in our own beds. Now we are headed to Idaho for the weekend to attend a Rock Family reunion. It might be a couple days before you get any pictures, sorry.

We have been sick the past couple of weeks. First we had a stomach flu that was nasty. I got it a couple hours before Nathan and he didn't believe me he thought I was being a wuss. That thought changed at midnight when it hit him. Know we have a cold. Sofie is I hope getting over hers, mine is in full swing and Nathan is just getting in to his. I am sick of being sick. Anyways, I know you all wanted to hear about that, but here are some pictures of Sofie. Since most of you (grandparents) just want pictures and less writing I will say very little about each one.

This was a styrophome(sp) sheet. Ever try to clean these out of a kids nose? not easy!

She can get around pretty far in some pretty high heals.
I guess we don't feed her enough.

Grandpa and cousin Ethan.
It's so hard to get this kid inside anymore.
Just a funny picture. She put it on herself.
O.K. one story. We bought this dress for her after we went to dinner one night at cracker barrel. We thought she was done with the flu. Well she wasn't while in the middle of dinner it all came back up and sprayed the whole table. The poor waiter was so nice and cleaned it all up for us. We needed diapers so we went to Costco with her in a diaper and a shirt. Talk about red neck. so we put this dress on her and Nathan said she looked like Homer in a mumu. What a day.

Sofie has a few favorite things right now including tractors bikes(motorcycles) and airplanes. I think she will be a lot of fun for her cousins to hang out with in a couple of weeks.

(side note: my brain is fried so I know there are spelling mistakes in here, but I just can't think of how they are spelled.)

I did it!!

We needed a new pillow for Sofie, so we went to walmart. (which by the way we just have to pull into the parking lot and she starts saying "sticker" "sticker" pretty sad huh.) We got her a small pillow so I decided to make her a pillow case for it. You would think with how well people in both our families sew that I would know how. Well I can get by with the basics and that is it. We went to the fabric section which is rather small and Sofie saw a lady with frog material all I heard for the next five minutes was "frog". So we found another material that was more girl colors and some other material that matched for the pillow case. Today during her nap I decided that I would break out my sewing machine and just do it. Well I did it! Just don't ask to see it up close becasue I wont show you, It is a pretty sad looking little blanket. Luckily all Sofie cares about are the frogs. We taught her what a frog says the other day and now she loves to say Ribbit. She is too cute.

Sofie's Toys

Peggy gave these stuffed animals to us for the baby shower before Sofie was born. Sofie loves them, The dog has been a favorite and the other day we needed to wash him so we gave her the duck. I think I need to find a replacement just in case something happens to them.She sure is a girl she loves the dolls and purses, shoes and cell phones, but she also loves planes and cars and playing with the boys. She can sure hold her own with them.

It's Spring!!

The other day Sofie and I went outside and took some pictures by our daffodils. It was a pretty nice day out. Then the next couple of days turned out to be cold, rainy and snowy. Big Bummer. Oh well this weekend should be nice.
Sofie tracking down the neighbor John. He left without asking her, Big mistake.

Last year at the same time, what a difference a year makes.

Me and George

Sofie got a Curious George doll the other day at Target. And Nathan received balloons for his birthday from his boss that had these eyes on it. Sofie felt the need to pull the eyes of the balloon and attach them to George.Then Nathan felt the need to attach them to Sofie.


Sofie felt the same way.
And one more picture of pigtails. I wish she would keep them in longer than 3 seconds.

Auntie Sarah is here.

Aunt Sarah was able to visit us over spring break. Sofie loves having her around, all she has to say is Auntie and Sarah will do just about anything for her. Sarah did her hair in pigtails for Sunday. My baby finally has hair for pigtails. She was so cute.
Goofy picture of Sofie but a good one of Sarah. I think Sofie will get over it. This was the first attempt and pigtails on Saturday.
