This is not okay.

Central/Mountain/Eastern/MountainAZ... too many time zones.

I'm not sure this has ever happened before.

I miss my sisters.

Happy 4th!

Micah enjoyed his first 4th of July! Jared spoke at church. It wouldn't be the weekend of the 4th without Jared speaking. He's had the honor for the past six years... well actually a shout out to Christy Fay for taking one of those! :) It was a great message on courage.

We went to our friend's, the Buckmasters, house and enjoyed their pool and great company. We love the community we have here at MMCC. Such great peeps.

Here's Micah trying out the Baby Einstein. He's getting so big! Isn't he handsome??

A little love from Big Sister

Happy Fourth of July!

(Head massage from no-nap Sophia) ;)

Whatever it takes... I guess.

Something I don't want to forget :)

Since Sophia was tiny she has always pulled on her neck when she's tired. She has now progressed to pulling her neck out disturbingly far and holds onto the skin. I have no idea why it comforts her, but it does. I have a feeling she's going to regret it someday when it doesn't bounce back!

BLUEBERRIES!!

Sophia LOVES blueberries. When we visited WA last August, Lori showed her the blueberry bushes on the side of their house. I think that's when the obsession began. Lori, being the awesome Grama that she is, has been looking for blueberry fabric ever since. She made Sophia the cutest blueberry dress... with POCKETS! Sophia loves her a good pocket. :) Here is the finished product, by the blueberry bush, of course.

Lucky little grandbabies

So thankful for the amazing Boopa and Grama

Over the river and through the woods...

Don and Lori live next to a college campus with great woods, trails and a creek. I'm pretty sure Sophia thought she was Dora the entire "hike". And I'm pretty sure Micah was quite oblivious, but very content wrapped up with dad.

"I gotta stick..."

"...and I gotta flower"

"And I gotta stick in my pocket"

(Yes, Twi-hards, it does look a lot like Forks! :))

And here is just some more Sophia cuteness...

Sophia's First Movie

We took Sophia to her first movie while we were in WA. We figured Boopa and Grama could get in some good Micah time and we could get in some good Sophia time. We saw Shrek Ever After. Sophia did great. She sat in my lap for a while and dangled her feet over the railing for a while, then walked around for a while. :) There was only one other family in the theater and they had a small child too so it was an overall great experience for her. She doesn't quite get the whisper yet, but she was all about the popcorn!
