Hanging out at home.

My cute little 1 year old haning out and Grammy's...My what big eyes you have!!! ;)

Stay-at-home Day Date with Daddy! He got em all dressed up and took this picture. SO cute!

Came around the corner and caught a rare moment. The girls actually laying still! So cute, them cuddling up. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There's that little smile I love so much! Nothing will brighten up her little spirit like playing outside in the sunshine!!

Awww my sweet little daydreamer. Riding the bike that Grandpa Alan gave her. She's getting pretty speedy on it but I managed to catch her sitting still for once!

Lily found a leaf! One of many to come this fall, I'm sure! Such an exciting treasure! :)

Lily is still too little for this trike but daddy saved the day by pushing her around for awhile. It made her feel like such a big girl, just like sissy!!

I LOVE this picture. It captures Sophie's personality so well. We went on a walk through the neighborhood and she just pranced around and had so much fun.

Lily spotted the playground!! Unfortunately, it had just rained and was really wet so we didn't get to play on it. Right after I snapped this picture a HUGE fit presented itself in the form of a screaming, kicking, thrashing little Lily. ;)

Lily was sooo excited to be out on a walk! She'd been stuck in the house, sick, for a few days.

Sophie Jane just adores her baby sister so much. We have been so blessed in that area! And Sophie is Lily's HERO. Like most little sisters do she copies everything that big sis does!!

My big girl. I can't believe how much she has grown up in the last few months! She's not a baby anymore, but we are really enjoying this KID!! Such a sweet little girl...Love you sweetie!

Me and my littlest. She's just the sweetest little thing and is so adventurous! Always willing to try something new.

Sophie's First Field Trip

Sophie got to go on her first field trip with her pre-school to a pumpkin patch called Bizi Farms and it was SO MUCH FUN!

Boston, Jackson, Kasen, Jack, Sophie, Preston

Sophie had a blast playing with her friends and Lily LOVED the pumpkin patch and soaked in every little thing about it!

Sophie and her best boy Jackson stayed side by side the whole time and explored together.

We brought Grammy along and I'm so glad! Wish we'd have brought Nana! She would have loved it!

Can't wait until next year! I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! Now, bring on the holidays!

Riding Bikes!

Easy Home-Made Mozarella Sticks

Ingredients:

Cooking Oil

Cheese Sticks (However many you desire!)

4 Eggs

2-3 cups of Seasoned Bread Crumbs

Directions:

1. Heat up about 2 Tablespoons of oil in a skillet on medium high.

2. Put the eggs in one bowl and the bread crumbs in another bowl.

3. Dip the cheese stick in the egg and immediately roll in breadcrumbs. For best results, carefully repeat this step, making sure the cheese stick is completely covered in bread crumbs.

4. Now, fry it in the frying pan! It cooks pretty quickly, so watch it carefully!

Serve with Pizza Sauce and Enjoy!!

...What a fun little outing!! If you haven't gone to the new library in Vancouver, check it out. Its really modern looking and there's lots of fun stuff for the kiddo's.

I'm Back!!

Wow! It been a year and a half since I last blogged! My sweet Sophie Jane is 3 years old and has turned into such a KID! No more baby...:( But I love this new stage. I feel like I have a built-in little buddy. She is so creative and smart and keeps us entertained always!

Lily Maye is 14 months old now!! She started walking about a month ago and absolutely loves her new-found independance! She's alot more outwardly sensitive than miss Sophie and requires alot of cuddling and loves and has such a cute little sense of humor. Mmmmm....I love those Princesses!!

Anyways, stay tuned for sweet and funny updates of my little chica's! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do (or at least pretty close ;)

Its a......

GIRL!!!!

Yesterday, January 15, 2010 we had our second ultrasound for baby #2! We were extremely anxious to find out if this sweet little baby was "blue or pink" and just couldn't keep the grins off of our faces as we walked into the ultrasound room. Almost everyone was convinced that this baby was a boy, even me! Its funny how the ultrasound technician just nonchalantly announces the sex of the baby. Here we are sooo nervous and excited and have been waiting for so long to find out, but it seems that every time, the lady just announces it without any notice! We were all a little shocked when she said, "This baby looks like a girl to me!". We weren't dissapointed AT ALL, we just had to, kind of, absorb it and let it sink it! We really weren't expecting this news.

Now, nearly two days later we have become soooo excited to have two little girls!!! We have already chosen a name for her - Lily Maye. Isn't that cute? Sophie and Lily just sound so adorable together. We are very anxious to meet our new little angel and just hope and pray that everything goes well from here on out. Please join us in these prayers if you think about it! :)
