My baby turns 4!!!

Today is my beautiful girl Sophie's Birthday. She turned 4! I can't believe it. I am devastated that she is growing up so fast. She will start preschool this year, next year highschool, boys and dating, then college, then she will be gone.AAAAHHHH!! It will all go so fast. These four years have flown Mike and I just want her to stay small forever. Never grow up!

Daddy was so sad because today is his first final he had to leave so early, he wanted to start her birthday early so he could be here. So 6:30 the presents began. 

Sophie was so excited about her first gift, what could it be......

A big black dog! She has been asking for this for months!

Look how big he is!!!

Mj was feeling a little left out, so we left him open a gift.

Sophie's newest love is Barbies

What a Great morning, so much stuff!

I guess Santa won't have to come, hahaha!!! 

We Love you baby Girl!! We are so proud of you. The day we had you was one of the greatest days of our lives!! Thanks for choosing to come to our family. Thanks everyone for making this a special day for our little princess! Love you all!

TrOuBLe!!

Putting together MJ's first T-ball set and oh yes the real T-ball metal bat.

All this face means is, TROUBLE!

And this is about the only time he is not in Trouble!

Here is MJ's partner in Crime.

Head sold separately, hahaha!

Halloween!!!

Couldn't be happier with the success!

Halloween was so much fun!!!

This picture was taken by Sophie around 6:00am the morning after halloween. She handed me the camera later that day and these are some of the photos I found on it. Totally caught in the act!

CUTEST THING YA EVER SEEN

Do you ever find yourself ?.......

I am sitting here looking at my little girl laughing to myself as I find myself thinking and doing things that my parents did!! Things I swore I would never do because it bugged the Heck out of me. What have I become????

*If you ever asked my dad for any type of food, he would always take a bite first. The hugest bites out of apples.

             -I do this every time to my kids food, especially apples.

*I hated doing chores every week growing up please I had such better things to do.

             -If all my chores aren't done every saturday morning, everybody else gets the wrath. I am so happy sunday morning.

*I could never understand why we had to clean our house before we left on vacation. We use to always say, "mom this is so dumb why do we have to clean? Incase someone robs our house and thinks oh wow this house is clean."  

              -Basically I like a constantly clean house.

*When my kids ask why? I tell them "because I said so and I'm in charge"

*I couldn't stand waiting for my dad to check all appliances to make sure they are off before leaving somewhere.

             -Ok I admit it, I don't want something to start on fire.

*This is so little kid of my mother but I love it, randomly my mom will buy a candy bar for herself while grocery shopping. Then keep it in the cupboard for whenever she desires.

             -I love to do this! Come on we mothers deserve it!!

*My mother and mother in law always kept the good treats in a different cupboard. A little higher up than most could reach. 

            -Mike makes fun of me for doing this. "this is so something my mom would do," he says. But come on the Jordan Almonds deserve a special place. They can't be eaten lightly!

I guess at some point we become our parents. And I am perfectly ok with this to a degree, hahaha. Mike and I have the greatest parents in the World. We Love you guys!!!!!!

Yep, We're Still Swimming!

Just laying out and jumping in to cool off.

Dinner at Bru's room, one of our favs!

MJ just ate a lemon, not quite sure....

Sophie's favorite buddy Mike. I know, another Mike that is all we need, haha!

Look what MJ found while mom was out running and Dad was in charge.

Is it fair that my daughter is so much prettier than me, hhhmmmm.

You can't get more handsome than this!

MJ showing his "Michael Jordan" air time! Where would we be with out our dad's help?

So Happy Together!

I live for little moments like this, Love ya Sis!

When Dad's around this is where my kids want to be.

Lovin' Livin'

I Don't even know how to express how perfect and special these kids are. I love them sooo MUCH!!!

These Swords come everywhere with us. Here he is practicing his amazing skills!

Smiles are contagious!!

How perfect is this little girl. She was so tired she just couldn't make it to a bed.

Drum Roll Please.......... This years Halloween costumes, the one and only gorgeous ARIEL and her protector BATMAN!!

Showing you the moves of Batman and a mermaid princess.

My Big Guy!

Today Sophie had preschool, she loves this day. So do I as it gives me the opportunity to spend a little time with just my Champion boy. I don't know what it is but for some reason when he is by himself he truly has got to be the best kid in the world. But when big sister is there that is questionable??? He is such a Stud and so Handsome. He melts my heart. I just love him! I know that Heavenly Father gives me these little moments to remind me just how fortunate and lucky I am to be a mom Thanks MJ for a fun morning! I think we would both agree that sometimes nothin' tastes better than Fries and Diet Coke ;)

I love these KIDS!

I don't even know what to say......

You gotta LoVe the HeeLs!Nothin better than a Costco Lunch
