My Reader...

I cannot believe the progress Ella has made with reading since she started Kindergarten. She got these books from her Darlin for Christmas and loves to sit in our window seat everyday and read them. She is such a big girl and can read the whole book all by herself! There are 150 pages in these books! I am so proud of her and what an amazing little girl she is. She is doing so well in school altogether and absolutely loves it! I am such a proud Mama!

I'm Back!

Just in my last post I said that I would be posting more often this year and of course I haven't posted in weeks. There are reasons for that though. We finally moved! We haven't had Internet until two days ago. We are so happy to be in our house and we love it!!! I have so much to do until everything is finished and just the way I want it, but when it is I will post some pictures of it. In the meantime little Soph Soph turned 3 months on the 14th! She is such a joy in our lives!

Here's a little info about Sophie at 3 months.

1. She is very smiley...if you talk to her and play with her she will surely smile huge at you.
2. She is very ticklish and has already laughed out loud several times.
3. She Love's her big sisters and I can tell that she is already frustrated that she can't do the things they can yet.
4. She loves laying on the floor and playing with her baby gym.
5. She is constantly sucking on her hand...I think she might already be teething.
6. She is a really good sleeper at night, mommy is very thankful!
7. She loves riding in the car and listening to music. She is always happy in the car!
8. She still wants to nurse every two to three hours during the day...she is a little chunk monk.
9. She absolutely loves her bath time. I think it is her favorite thing in the world so far. She kicks and splashes and coos the whole time.
10.She loves her mommy and daddy the most right now. She is already getting stranger anxiety. I'm really ok with that. It's nice being wanted.

A few three month pictures...



Love her profile!


There she is sucking on her hands!



Love the look on her face in this picture! Don't know how I captured this one!

Truckee...

We went up to Pete's...Lindsey's boyfriend cabin in Truckee this past week for a few days. It was so beautiful and fun and there was so much snow! The girls went sledding, they built a snowman with daddy and Pete, and we went ice skating the last night which was very cold, and maybe my skates didn't fit right and they were killing my feet...but still the girls had a blast and that's what counts right?



Darlin got the girls matching ski sweaters for Christmas...how cute is that?




Love my girls!


This girl loves her daddy!


Probably my favorite picture of Sophie so far!


Love this picture!



Oh look at these two love birds!

Mommy hung out with Sophie in starbucks the second part of skating.

Some pictures I wanted to share...

Before I get started on all of my Christmas pictures I wanted to post a few pictures from the last month.


A little photoshoot I did with the girls outside our house.

Ella and Emma were in a Christmas program at our church. Ella had a memory verse that she said in front of the whole church and did so good!
The girls in their Christmas outfits!

Happy New Year from our family to yours...




We had such a wonderful holiday season this year. Can't believe it's already over. I have so many pictures to share and plan on doing that at some point...ya know when I get a spare moment...which I don't have many of those these days. I really want to try blogging more frequently this year about the small details of our life, so many good memories and moments that I don't want to forget.
