The Party

We celebrated with my family

The birthday girl requested flowers on her cake

(after seeing Doug and Ashley's wedding cake that's all she talked about)

She also wanted balloons, candy, and goodie bags

Some of her favorite gifts: a Cinderella Barbie Doll, Angelina Ballerina plush doll, and the gift she got when we got to Texas- a water table for the back patio.

Peepa made the girls matching rings out of some silver he had, they just loved them.





Funny thing about the tissue paper pom-poms- I sat down to practice making them one afternoon and my Mom said let me show you how we use to make these when I was a kid. She then proceeded to show me the exact way that Martha Stewart makes hers. My Mom has never read or seen a tutorial for Martha's. Apparently Martha has nothing on my Mom ;)

3 years

Sophia celebrated a birthday while we were in CA this last summer. Since she loves the beach so much I thought it would be the perfect place to capture some 3 year memories.

Who cares if it's been 100*

When you have a hose, backyard, and a Dad

you're all set for the heat!

We know our grass looks dead, we're hoping it's just in shock from the heat and hasn't already died

Talk'n bout my girls

Here's baby Scar- Scar (as Auntie Steph calls her) at 2 months old

I love these little striped leggings

Don't you just want to take a nibble?

So cute!

She is such a good baby. She hardly ever cries. She is so happy all the time. She loves it when we smile and talk to her. She almost always responses with a smile and giggle. She loves to suck her little thumb and also her little fist.

We are so blessed!











Sophia's new birthday shoes

And a couple of my other cutie.

I still have lots more photos to blog from our time here in Ca. It might be a couple more weeks though till I blog again. We leave to Texas tomorrow to be together again as a family. We can't wait. There will be lots of unpacking and settling into our new place. Thank goodness Grandma is coming along.

Bree's Birthday

Swimming, pizza, and lots of play!

Bubbles

Sophia and cousin Bree had a sleep over a couple weeks ago. They had so much fun together.

Especially with the bubbles.

Building a Fence with Peepa

Sophia loves to help out around the house. Many times a day I hear her ask, " Can I help?"
