Busy Month

We have had a very busy month! Matthew turned one year old last Sunday. We had a party for him at Uncle Ron and Aunt Julee's house in Lewiston. When Sophia turned one, she barely touched her cake...but Matthew on the other hand was a different story. He tore the cake apart! He also enjoyed everyone singing Happy Birthday to him and getting to play with his new toys.Sophia started swimming lessons last week. She cried the first two days and by day 3 her fear of the water had drastically decreased. She is doing a great job and we are very proud of her!

She also was in her first dance recital on Saturday night. She loved her outfit and felt like a princess!

Baby Backpack

As my friend Emily knows, even before I ever thought of having kids I have always wanted a baby backpack. We bought an REI Piggyback backpack today off of Craigslist and couldn't wait to use it so we took it on a stroll around the neighborhood and through the park....Matthew enjoyed sitting in it and seemed comfortable having Daddy tote him around.

The Circus

Saturday we went to the circus with Chris' mom and stepdad who live in Eagle (Grandma Pam and Grandpa Jim). The kids had a great time and we thought it was pretty entertaining too :)

Sophia loved her cotton candy!

Sophia's first ride on a pony! Yee haw!

Oh what a night...

So, we had big plans to get up this morning and go to Lewiston (Sophia, Matthew and I---Aimee). But, Sophia woke us up at midnight crying hysterically which in turn woke Matthew up. We were seriously up for 4 hours straight! Not kidding! This was the worst night we have had as parents so far. Of course there have been sleepless nights when they were both newborns, but never had we been up for 4 consecutive hours. I took Sophia to the doctor today and she has an ear infection so she is on antibiotics. Hopefully she gets better soon. We'll see what tonight brings...

Easter

Easter was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures from the big hunt!

MySpace and pretty pictures...

So, I cancelled my MySpace account the other day. No offense to anyone....I don't know if people take offense to these things or not. I don't think they should, but you never know. I had a wild urge and just did it! It said it would take up to 48 hours to cancel my account. For some reason it felt very liberating. I have moved on to better things---such as blogging! Which I think everyone should do! It's the latest thing I am trying to push. I guess you could call me a blog pusher.....

One other fun thing...check out http://photocrazy55.blogspot.com/ to view some pretty pictures of my cousin Jasmine.

It is official!

It's official! Sophia is registered for preschool. I got there an hour early to register and there were already 7 people in line in front of me. This whole preschool thing is crazy! But, she got into the class we wanted her in! She is pictured above modeling her new preschool t-shirt.
