Maternity pics

     I got maternity pictures done a couple weeks ago by my amazing sister in law Hanna. Check out her photo blog here. I love the way they turned out. I wasn't going to do maternity pics this time around. I don't really know why, maybe I didn't feel as cute and little, maybe I just didn't feel like it, or because I had some from Sophia that I loved and figured that was good. Then I decided I guess I would love some of Sophia with my belly and it would be really fun to be able to show both kids what I and our family looked like while we waited for them to come. Thankfully Hanna was willing to do them for me and had an amazing eye and got some fabulous shots! I am so glad I decided to get them done. Bonus, a good excuse to buy myself a cute dress!

Such a good, rare family pic of all of us smiling! Good job Hanna!!

This is seriously our life. She cracks me up! 

She hugs my belly all the time! I love it! 

Love these two! She adores daddy! It is to precious!

The pic above and the pic below are my two faves! Sophia is just a doll in them! 

Didn't Hanna do so good?! I am getting more and more excited to see what this little guy looks like! Think he will be a Sophia and Tyler mini me? Or look like me this time? I just can't wait!

Pictures Finally! and Easter

     This last weekend we spent up at my parents house for Easter. It was so nice and relaxing! I of course forgot my camera and am kicking myself because Sophia was so stinking cute! She absolutely loved the easter egg hunt, but I am getting ahead of myself. We started the weekend off Saturday morning going to Shelby's work and taking part in a community egg hunt and breakfast. Little Tyler(my nephew, Shelby's son, we call him that to not get confused with big Tyler my hubby!) scored on the egg hunt. We also took pictures with the easter bunny. Sophia didn't cry she just looked at him like what is going on. It was pretty funny!

     Saturday after the hunt the girls all went to the new city creek center for Briana's birthday while the boys went on a motorcycle ride. It was a lot of fun, insanely crowded but a lot of fun! We didn't make it to all the stores, mostly because I really started to hurt after 3 hours of walking around, it helped that every store we went into was HUGE and any line we waited in was forever long but we will be back I am sure! Saturday night I helped a dear friend out and did her hair and spent some much needed time catching up with her and one of my other favorite people in the world! We always end up staying out till all hours of the night and it is always a good time!

     Sunday we went to church and had some fun outside. The weather was beautiful so we had the egg hunt outside and inside. Sophia was so stinking cute! I wish I would have recorded the entire thing because it was adorable! I showed her once what to do then she took off and loved it. She got so many eggs and candy it will last us a long time. The easter bunny(my mother) even got little baby boy a basket and it was full of adorable boy clothes! I loved it! We are starting from scratch again in the clothes department so it helped a lot! Then my grandparents came down from Logan and we had a fabulous dinner and visited with my brother on the phone. All in all the weekend was fabulous and we all had a blast! Now some picture updates of my adorable daughter.

The gorgeous flowers Tyler got me to help me feel better! 

See where Sophia gets her hair from?! My favorite people with their froed out hair!

One day Sophia found a pin and decided to unzip her pjs and draw all over her belly. It was pretty funny!

One of Sophia's favorite games to play with dad is wear his hat and hide in it till dad finds her. 

Shelby got the girls these easter hats and Sophia's is really tight on her head it kinda makes her look like she has a mullet but she loves to wear it! It's pretty funny!

Another new favorite of Sophia's is to wear my clothes! ha ha Sometimes we have to get creative to get them to stay on her.

My child never does this, but she fell asleep on the couch all by herself. It was so rare I had to snap a pic! 

The one crafty thing I have done lately is spruce up this pair of boy flip flops I bought Sophia with some lace.

OOH AAH! ha ha She kept pointing at them saying pretty! ha ha I love the way they turned out and they were so simple. Anyway sorry this post got crazy long! Enjoy! 

Silly Baby

     Sophia has one of the goofiest personalities I have ever seen on a baby. I wish I could keep  a camera on her all the time so I could show everyone how funny she is. Seriously though I rarely have a dull moment with her around. I love it! Needless to say this is going to be a picture post.

      I know I already showed you the pictures of Sophia with the news paper but I took like five photos so here are a couple others.

Sophia has these PJs that have a hood and are a little small. I put them on her the other night and put the hood on and she gave me this scowl ha ha. Then i started laughing and she went and looked in the mirror and cracked up! It was so funny! She new she looked ridiculus!

She likes to stand on her head and walk around on her hands and feet like the kid off the jungle book.

At grandma Robertson's house over Christmas break Sophia found this old old polaroid camera that she kept trying to take pics with. it was really cute!

Trying to wear dads coat. Ha ha it was way huge. His coats are bigger than me, let alone Sophia!

We went to the car show this weekend and Sophia was getting sick of riding in the stroller. We were letting her hold our hands but she drops to the ground dead weight when she wants to walk  on her own. The only problem is she just runs away. So we just dragged her backwards around so she could see what was going on. Ha ha She loved it. She was laughing the whole time and kept making us do it.

AND my absolute favorite I straightened Sophia's hair! Normally her hair is curly and unruly! I straightened it and couldn't believe how long it was! She looked like a totally different person. She kept looking in the mirror and rubbing her head like it was so soft and straight ha ha! It was cute!

Crazy HUH? Tyler and I both just kept looking at her! ha ha These pictures aren't even half of the goofy things she does all the time! I just love her hilarious self. Anyway thanks for letting me brag about my hilarious child! Have a great day.

Family Pictures

     SO finally after three failed tries we got our family pictures done! It was freezing cold, and we got kicked out of our spot by the cops, but we got some done and they turned out great. Thanks so much Hanna for putting up with the cold weather and spending your Sunday afternoon with us! 


     Sophia did really well, she was in a great mood and she just wanted to run around rather than sit still and take pics, but we did get a few of  her smiling.

     Tyler made the Merry Christmas sign! What do you think? I was pretty proud of him. I gave him a little direction but he pretty much did it all. I told my husband he would be super crafty before he knew it, he wasn't so sure about that. ha ha Anyway maybe I'll do Christmas cards now so everyone can see how crafty Tyler has become. 


     Oh also if any of you are interested in some great pics done by Hanna Here is a link to her blog. Her prices are so good and she does a great job! Thanks again Hanna!
