My Awesome Husband

As most of you know, Mike has decided to go back to school. He is getting a bachelor's degree in Networking Security. He has been in school since October and has been doing really well. He just took his finals for Psychology and Programming. Each final was 3 1/2 hours. He did really well on both, but especially his Psyc. final. He got 100%! I am very proud of him and just wanted to share that with you. Love you babe!

Happy Birthday to Suzy

Yesterday was my mother-in-law Suzy's birthday. Some of the family was able to get together and celebrate. Thank Dan and Juli for hosting. We all had a great time. I especially like to see all the grandbabies (and not so babies) playing together.

Latest Sewing Project

With Tara's supervision I made a cart cover for Sophie. Mike loved the fabric and he called it and "explosion of joy." We used the cover at Costco last night and it works great! I think Sophie liked it too, though you can't tell that from the picture. I think I will make a second one, one for each car. Oh, it can also be used for highchairs too. There is a bag that attaches to it for it to fold up into, but I did have enough of the same fabric to make it, so I am on the hunt for more fabric.


This is a McCalls Pattern and it also includes a pattern for a double cart cover (it has to sets of leg and strap holes.)

Important Online Research

As I was doing some important online research (looking for birthday outfits for Sophie) I came across this totally cute site called Sophia's Style! You have to check it out, it is fairly reasonable.

Sophie's Two Front Teeth

With in days of getting her first tooth, Sophie's second one on the bottom follow. I waited a little while for them to be easier to see before I attempted the picture taking again. Now they are pretty obvious. Once again my accomplice Tara took the pictures while I held Sophie hostage.

Valentine's at Monster Jam

For Valentine's Day I was working a booth for Maverik at the Monster Jam show. I was able to get tickets for Tara, Ryan, Mike and I to watch the evening show. It was super cool and we all had a really good time!

The truck in the left is the Maverik Monster Trakker.

I love you Hubby!


Tara and Ryan thanks for coming!

The After Bath

One day after a bath I decided to do a photo shoot of Sophie.

Sophie's first tooth

On Friday, February 6th Sophie cut her first tooth. It is on the bottom and on her left. Tara and I tried to take some pictures of of it, but none of them really came out. Something about someone jamming their hands in your mouth to take a picture just doesn't spark a cooperative nerve. As it comes in more I will try and get a better picture.

Valentine's Cookies

Chelsea, Angie and I decided to make some Valentine's cookies. This was my best work when it comes to cookies frosting/decorating.

Tayen Talking - Sophie Watching

This is a picture of Sophie I pulled from a part of the video clip that I took out. For some reason Sophie was having a sad evening. She had little tears in her eyes and everything.=(

Sophie and her cousin Tayen were hanging out and Tayen was talking up a storm while Sophie just sat back and listened.
