Jackson Hole

Yea for vacations and weddings! On Aug 8th my brother Shane got married up in beautiful Jackson Hole. It was so beautiful in Teton National Park, it fit Shane and Robyn to a T. My family all stayed in a great 4 bedroom condo up in Teton Village. The kids loved playing with each and staying up late. The wedding was held in the morning. The girls made great flower girls, while Michael did an outstanding job being the ring barier. Later that night we got a babysitter for the kids-sidenote turned out we had no idea who the babysitter was, but did a great job!- and went to the Snake River Grill (delicious-best part was the HUGE onion rings which looked like donuts) Once dinner was over we all walked to the famous cowboy bar. Probably the last time my whole family will be in a bar together :)

I am excited for Shane and Robyn they make a great couple. They are both so in love with each other. I am glad to have Robyn join our crazy family

Shoes

my little sweetheart. I love her to death. I especially love that fact that she has to wear shoes to bed. At first it was just sneakers, but now we have moved on to black patten leather mary janes. Bought her some slippers, which lastest a day, back to the mary janes!

Just random pictures

Gymnastics

Sophia started a little gymnastics class at Fairmont park last night. She was the youngest one there, but did not look it by all means. At first she only wanted to sit on the mat and watch all the other kids wiggle their toes, jump up and down etc. After about 10min she was ready for the tumbling. A couple of times she did get distracted by the swimming pool and yell AQUA, or go and sit by the little girl who cried the whole time. My little sweetheart with the tender heart, so caring. I hope she never looses that quality.

I think she had a great time. Later that night Luke (who by the way is sure Sophia is going to be a natural) and I looked at pictures we took. When we zoomed in on Sophia's face in all of them she had a little smile.

Can't wait for net week. Hopefully with this class her flips off the couch will at least be done with alittle more grace and less accidents :)

Vacation

Well the last picture you saw was in Mexico at an amazing all inclusive resort-just beautiful!

I wish I had more pictures of it to post-however we decided to go to good old St. George Utah instead. Due to the swine flu our trips was canceled. Maybe another day.

St. George was great. Luke and I took Sophia's along as well. I think Luke read a couple of book and really relax. I on the other hand ran after Sophia. I think when you go on vacation with children its not really a vacation. No naps bedtime around 10pm, and trying to fill the day with activities. We went to the pool, park lots of walk and a jumping house called Kangaroo Jacks. I have to admit I had a great time. After 45 min of jumping around I was exhausted but little Sophia was still full of energy!

By The Way

This is where I will be in 12 weeks!

FOREVER

I know its been forever. I am a person who likes to blog about pictures. So I have decieded to blog about a couple of phots that are on my phone.

First the big purchase. We finally bought a sectional. I have always wanted one and found a great deal on KSL. I highly recommend buying off KSL. Our new (well new us) couch is super cozy, and Luke can loung out and watch sports while Sophia and I still have plenty of room doing our own thing as well.

In this picture you will also notice Sophia TRYING to play with our cats. Ever since my brother got a dog, Sophia has been confused to why our cat will not play tug-a-war, eat the treats shoved in his mouth, or why he does not get all hyper when Sophia runs around on all fours and barks like a dog ( Thanks Shane, for teaching Sophia new tricks)

My next picture is of Sophia (of course) swinging. We live right next to fairmont park. I try to walk up there when ever the weather is nice. Sophia is defiantly our little dare devil.

I love where we live. I could see us staying in our little house for some time. We are close to everything. I am already getting Spring Fever looking forward to walking everywhere.

My last picture is another of Sophia. I like to call her my "spirited" child. She loves to be on the go. Luke's dad made the comment "does she ever sit down to eat"

The answer is no. We always have to be on the go. This morning Sophia thought it would be a good idea to move her breakfast to her chair instead of table. I guess this way she was closer to her Shadow that she was playing with all morning!
