Puppy Love

I love my doggie so much that I cook for him...


Feed him letters to make him smart...


I always make sure he gets exercise and strength training...




And last but certainly not least, I make sure he always looks as pretty as I do...

Sick Sucks

RSV 2009 has hit the Karras house. Yippee! : (
Sophia is such a trooper. I couldn't be more proud of her. We were way more freaked out about her breathing treatments then she was. In fact, she was calm, collected and likely irritated that her momma was so proud she had to run for the camera to document her grown-up-ness. The good news is she seems to be on the mend and I expect tomorrow she'll be running around with underwear on her head as usual.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's day started out great...a little breakfast, a little dress up, a little snow gazing. Then it went horribly wrong....a little coughing, a little snot, a little fever : ( At least I had mommy and daddy to snuggle with me and love on me. After all, isn't that what Valentine's day is really about?

Valentine's Day Fun!

Yesterday I invited all of my friends over to celebrate Valentine's Day. Mom decorated the house with a million "heart-ins" (soph's word for heart) and made some heart shaped mac-n-cheese and heart shaped pizzas. There was a lot of love in the house. Luci, Liliana, Addison, Ailey, Ashlyn, Kelsey & Tallulah all came over. Poor Luke was the only boy. He was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the pink and hair pretties so he hung out by the door and shouted CAR! CAR! CAR! to all the cars outside. I think it was his way of protesting the love fest and affirming his boy-ness. Anyhow, we ate our festive dinner, made a craft for our daddies, ate cupcakes and exchanged valentine's. It was fantastic. Mom is still a bit lightheaded from ingesting a record breaking number of conversation hearts but no need to worry, I'm sure she'll rally and polish off the remainder today.
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!!

First Off: Apology...

For such a crappy video. It was taken on my phone which I didn't realize had different settings for camera quality. Apparently I had it on the "Grainy as Shit" setting. : )

Anyhow, here are a few video's of weekend fun with GG. Thanks for visiting GG!!!

Being silly with GG

Tiger roaring at the zoo. Can't see him unless you look close but you can definitely hear him!

Polar Bears

January Boring? Never!

Snow? What snow? You can have just as much fun inside, people (and outside). No need for all the dulldrums! If January is any indication, this is going to be a ri-donk-ulous year!

Tea Party and Bounce House with all my friends at Ailey's



Ice Festival with Luke!

Indoor car washes


Elmo Live with Ailey!

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.

18 Months

On my way to the terrible two's at warp speed : ) For now, I'm still a princess.


18 month stats:
Weight: 23 lbs - 25th%
Height: 32" - 60th%
Head: not sure the inches but between the 10th% & 20th%

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...
