Van Soph

You better believe we'll be auctioning off one of these bad boy paintings in the future.
***Note to parents not smarter then I, finger paints are a good idea in theory.
Who knew that those innocent little containers could explode into what can only be explained as sheer madness.

Scrub-a-dub-dub A Soph in a Tub

I'm being stripped of my mom duties by the day. Pretty soon she's not even going to let me wipe her nose for her. GASP!

Every Princess Needs A Castle

Voila! Is this not the coolest castle EVER?!?!?! My God sister Ailey picked it out for me for Christmas. Unfortunately, mom thinks it belongs to her so sometimes I have to kick her out. Pretty soon "A" and I are going to have to come up with a password for entry.
p.s. NO BOYS

Girls Night. A little pizza, little milk, little elmo...this is the life!

Snow Night & Preview of Sophia, Age 16

Last night right as it started to get dark we decided to take a quick dip in the snow. Should have gotten our acts together sooner in the day but twilight snow play turned out to be quite fun. Sophia's favorite activity was eating the snow.

Upon returning inside she threw the biggest tantrum ever (because she didn't want to come inside), then ignored us and "called/texted" her friends to bitch about how uncool and mean her parents are. Behold, Sophia, age 16...

Luke's 1st Birthday

Last Sunday Luke turned 1! How fast the year has gone by. We've had SO much fun growing up together. Happy Birthday Luke!!!

Whispering Sweet Nothings In My Ear

Luke: "Ok, here's what we do. When she turns around, look all cute and stuff and then when she least expects it we'll jump up, stand on the chair and flip it over."

Sophia: "Don't you think it might hurt? I think she said we should only sit in the chair. I don't know if we should go through with this Luke."

Moral of the story.... Keep an eye on these two. He's gotten rather convincing of late and she's blinded by his charm.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful trip down to Ohio for the holidays and managed to take about 100 too many photos. Surprise, surprise. I'll spare you the 399 photos of wrapping paper flying every which way and just share the highlights. Thank you to all who helped make it such a great holiday. We wish you a Happy New Year & can't wait to see you again soon!
