Sophie is 6!

Holy cow do I feel old.
My little girl is 6!

We no longer live in the snow-covered state, so we got to celebrate outside!
It was awesome.


We did treats and gifts at the park.
For her treat, Sophie picked oatmeal raisin cookies.
Yummmmmm.

I didn't get oodles of pictures because my plans were ruined by my lack of directional awareness.
We quickly did gifts then shot off to the movies.
Sophie wanted to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.


She has since been shooting everyone with her gifts.
I was woken up with an arrow to the face this morning.

Worth it.

Mya is 3!

At some point this year, my toddler grew into a full blown child.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that.

Christmas 2013

First off...

THANK YOU!

We have such amazing family.
We didn't really have a Christmas fund this year, and planned to get maybe 2 things for each kid.
That still counts are Christmas, so we didn't feel the need to go asking around for any help.

It came anyways.
You guys are great, we love you.



On to pictures!

Sophie asked for 2 things this year.
A telescope, and boots.
My kid effing loves science.

After all the family left, we still had Papa and Grandma Taly staying with us.
Since the weather here in Texas is awesome (sorry Utah people...not really), we spent a day at the nature preserve.
