Pumpkins, Grandparents and Longhorns

While Papa Roger and Grandma Connie were here visiting we went to the pumpkin patch. Sophia was not too keen on feeding the animals. We picked out five small pumpkins and one big pumpkin to carve.

And we went on a hayride

Are these not the cutest siblings you have ever seen?!

Jared fed a Longhorn.

He's finally a Texan

(Sic 'em Bears)

18 months baby!

Micah is officially and year and half!

Weight: 28.6 lbs (75-90%)

Height: 35.3" (97+%)

Head: 19.5" (95%)

He wasn't too thrilled with the band-aid

on his finger after the iron test.

Not much has changed since the 17 month update.

Except two teeth finally broke through on the top.

6 total teeth now.

2 pushing on the bottom, incisors, one year molars

and two year molars all ready to cut.

It's gonna be a rough couple of months!

I say that, but little man is rarely sad.

Tall, dark and handsome!

He's mimicking more words and sounds.

dada, mama, uh-oh, mmmmmmmmo with a head nod (more)

We love MJ!

Frisco Fields Church

We've launched! There are a few pictures over under the Shutterfly Pics section (to the right) if you want to check them out!

And here is a quick tour of the facility...

Sophia is FOUR!

Sophia turned four! She had her usual breakfast (waffle with peanut butter, syrup and a little syrup on the side "to dip") on our "You are Special Today" plate.

We took cookies to school for snack time and they sang to her.

We made Angry Birds cupcakes for her bike riding birthday in the park

Grama Doe and Boopa gave her a bike for her birthday! We went to Toys R Us to try em out and she picked out a very special Tinkerbelle bike.

They also sent a princess helmet and a shirt that says "I Love my Bike" :)

Side Note: Grama Doe is the BEST at themed gifts for the kids

Unfortunately, even though it hadn't rained in Texas for months,

a storm rolled through so we had to move the party indoors at our house.

I don't think she minded one bit. And now she has these cool rain boots from Ashie, Katy and Emily so she can face the elements if it happens again.

Happy Birthday Sweet Sophia!

First trip to the Dentist

Yea, I know. She's four. She should have gone two years ago. Don't judge me. ;)

Sophia had a count down chain for her trip to the dentist. She couldn't wait to go and have clean teeth. She was awesome (duh). They gave her some sunglasses to wear and pulled the TV up so she could watch Tom and Jerry. "Mom, Tom and Jerry are hilarious." Both the dentist and tech said she was the best patient they had all week. She loved the spit sucker and got to get a prize from the treasure chest when she was finished. She's great at brushing and everything looks great!

Now we're saving up for mom's trip to the dentist.

I can assure you that I will not be as easy as Sophia.

First Day of School Success!

Now that the church has officially launched it's time for blogging catch up! Here we go!

Sophia's first day of school was a raging success! At the Meet the Teachers night she met Tito, the class Tiger. He gets sent home each Wednesday with someone in the class and has adventures that the student is supposed to "write" about in a journal. She carried him around the whole night and was a little sad to leave him behind.

Well, guess who got to take Tito home the very first day of school?! She was so excited.

Tito got to ride home in Micah's car seat because brother was home napping.

We stopped at Sonic to get a special drink and went home to recap the day.

They learned the "Rules of the Classroom" rap and each got some sweet shades. She has some moves that go along with the rap.

They had a treasure hunt to learn where everything was in the school.

Sophia got a cool map.

We're now a few weeks into "school". She knows the drill. Helps me pack her lunch and snack, packs up her backpack, grabs her nap mat and says, "Let's not run late mom!" Once we get there, she puts eveything in it's spot: nap mat, lunch, snack, water botle, backpack, lunch... finds her name for attendance, walks in and never turns around to say bye.

Safe to say she loves it there.

We're pretty proud of her.

First Day of School!

This is how she woke up.

I told you she couldn't wait to get that last link off the wall ;)

Our Sophia, all ready for her first day of school.

And with the nap mat of course...

Here she is in from of her classroom

and her cubby

In she goes!

Didn't even turn around.

See you in a few hours my sweet Sophia!

In the meantime it's just me and this guy in the quiet house.
