food!

man- I have been trying to write this post for a week now. Everytime I try something happens like my camera battery is dead or the computer shuts off on me

Anyway, last week we started feeding Sophie rice cereal before bed each night. She loves it! These pics are from her first time.

Love this girl!

A couple things for my mom and Sophie's tech skills

ok, my mom bought Sophie a bumbo (this cute little chair for Sophie to sit in) and Sophie loves it. I took this video of her playing with the chair.


Also my mom likes this smile of Sophie's and wanted a picture.


We had Sophie lying on the ground watching Sesame Street on Josh's computer. We left the room and thought Sophie was asleep. The movie stopped and a few minutes later it played again. We came in the room and this is what we saw. Sophie had restarted the movie.

She's loves sitting on daddy's lap while he plays computer or video games. When we watch a movie or he is playing games Josh will hand her a controller and she'll play with it. It looks just like she's knows how to use it.

today

quick rundown of my day- good but busy
I wake up at 8:00 and call my mom real quick to ask her a question before she goes to work

8:20 I jump in the shower before Josh has to go to work

8:40 I feed my hungry daughter and wish Josh a good day at work, then I get dressed for the day and look up a recipe for my dinner trade tonight

9:00 leave the house to get gas and go shopping at Walmart, hopefully before Sophie is ready for her nap

10:00 still in Walmart with a squealing girl in the cart

10:20 home and put Sophie down for a nap

11:00 stop doing dishes and cleaning my kitchen to make pizza dough

12:00 wake up Sophie and find she has had a diaper explosion, take care of that

12:45 I feed Sophie and then run out the door

1:15 get to Gator Jack's in Rigby and realize I am early for my lunch date, take a breather in the car

1:30 lunch with a friend visiting from Utah

3:30 resurface and realize I need to get home to make dinner

4:00 actually leave Rigby

4:25 run in the house to put pizza dough in the oven, while rushing around getting the toppings ready

4:45 top the pizza and return to oven

4:50 feed Sophie

5:10 get in the car with Sophie and rush across town, I'm late- can't find my cell phone so I can't call

5:20 drop the pizza, grapes, and cookies off and make plans for tomorrow

5:30 quick stop at the dollar store

5:40 put Josh's pizza in the oven and worry that maybe I am sharing yucky food

5:55 typing this blog and waiting for Josh to get home

All the things I had hoped to do today:
laundry
clean up and repaint the bookcase that is sitting in our garage
wash down the pack and play we bought last week
blog about last week
have dinner ready earlier so I could visit when I took it over
clean my bedroom

oh well, it has been crazy but good day

Fly on the wall

If you were a fly on the wall of my house right now...

You would see groceries for our camping dinner around the house.

You could watch me hurry and clean my house for a last minute visit from an old roommate (and come up with something for dinner).

You would see Sophie cuddling with her Boston Teddy Bear from grandpa while she sleeps.

You would see pamphlets from different health insurance plans and the one we decided on today.

You could tell we haven't cleaned our office since we moved because our computer and printer are at our kitchen table.

You would notice a garage full of projects... bookcases and dressers that need to be painted.

Our House

Here are some pictures of our house. They are pics of Sophie's room, our living room, and our kitchen. They are the rooms that are the most updated rooms in our house. We love our house.

2 years!

I meant to post this yesterday, our actual anniversary, but I ran out of time. Basically, I love my husband very much and all the time it just gets better. In two years we have both graduated from college, we have bought a house, and we had a baby. Pretty good if I say so myself. Last night we pulled out the letters we wrote to each other while we were engaged and cards from our wedding and things. I said at in one letter that how I felt about him kept surprising me by how much I could love him, and I am still surprised. I love him so much. Two down, forever to go!
