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!

WOW!!

Can you believe what is going on right now? WOW things sure are changing. I took this picture over the fourth of July. We were heading up to Boise and stopped to fill up. I died at the gas prices. For sure I thought we would hit the $5/gallon mark. Now less then 6 months later some places are at $1.20/gallon. I hope friends and family are doing well through these tough times.

Climber

Sophia has found a new love, climbing. It does not matter what it is, she will climb it. Not only are we climing thing we have figured out that everything moves and we can climb on one thing to reach up to the next

Halloween

The weekend was great! Sophia was able to go trick or treating twice. The sitter took her to the mall to trick and treat and then Luke and I took her in the evening. She LOVED it!! I am sure she ate enough candy for the year. She looked adorable in her flower costume. On Sat Luke and I went to the Jazz game. It was nice to go out on a "date" Thanks to Jill for babysitting and coming home to a sleeping baby and a clean house.
