More February fabulousness

Sophie had her 100th day of school and was supposed to make a shirt to with 100 things on it, she chose rhinestones, she was really excited to GET STARTED, not excited for me to take a picture of her wanting to get started while I took a picture of her! It turned out real cute, we made it in a heart shape.

IMG_0017Hey hey, I found a photo of her on “100 day” on my phone!

Here’s a few things she wrote in her little 100 day book:

I wish I had 100 … PEKUHCOOS. (pikachus, the pokemon)

I wouldn’t want 100 … SPITR BITS. (spider bites)

I can make 100 … ZEROS.

I can eat 100 … CASUDU. (quesadillas)

I could never eat 100 … CANDE.  (candy)

Having 100 … CATS could really be a problem!

In 100 years I ohpe that I can … LIV FORR A WAE. (live far away, she drew a picture of Italy, oh no!)

If I had 100 dollars, I would buy … NINGATURTLES because … THEY ARE COOL.

JUPEG is something I could do 100 times without stopping! (jumping)

The best part about hundreds day is … GIT POKADOG because … COOL. (get polka dog?  I think she made a dog with 100 polka-dots)

We also had some visitors in February!  My parents and Matt and Cami came for a visit, we had so much fun, of course!!  Here we are doing some Just Dance on the Wii.

My mom wanted to celebrate Sophie’s birthday while she was in town, it was just a few days before her actual birthday but she felt pretty spoiled to get to go have a birthday party at chuck-e-cheese and open presents! (Sorry about the iphone photos at Chuck-e-Cheese, I forgot to bring my camera!)

Grandpa made time to try out her new bat and ball in the front yard when they were trying to leave the next day.  She LOVES them! (both her grandparents and the baseball/bat)

The Lawrences brought over these little foam masks around Valentines day and Jacob thought they were so cool and I got such a kick out of him wearing them I had to take some pictures.  He was really into accessories that day, with the pokemon hat (thanks Uncle Jonathan!) too.  Jacob also loves wearing those spiderman slippers (thank you Susan!), oh man I DIE, I know I’m his mom and think everything he does is so cute but… isn’t it so cute!?!?! Winking smile

Here’s a few more random phone photos that I thought were noteworthy:

The girls brought their scooters to the skate park one morning, they loved it!  They only went down the small hills but felt like rock stars doing it!  I came out of my room to see Jacob and Tessa doing this on the stairs one morning, YIKES!  Before I told them to stop I said be careful and took a picture to text Dan. SmileWhat could possibly go wrong?

Morning at the park…

We went to Texas Roadhouse for a school fundraiser one night and got the girls’ faces painted, she was legit!  Tessa seemed to be a little scared of her reflection but Sophie was sure into it.

Sophie pampered us at the muffins for mom’s day at school, Tessa was trying to relax…  I couldn’t help but take this picture of the girls snuggling watching a movie, Tessa was scared of one of the characters so Sophie told her to “come here” and she held her, MELT MY HEART!  Oh so sweet.  Just tonight after scriptures Sophie was ticking Tessa and said, “we sure are best friends, aren’t we Tessa?”

Not quite so sweet, but still cute! Jacob.. eating dirt.

I want to plant a vegetable garden and a flower garden but I am scared to, we have TONS of rabbits who eat everything, plus Jacob! j/k  If you have any dealing with rabbits tips I would love to hear!

Sophie’s 6th Birthday

Sophie wanted to bring pokeball cookies for a treat to her kindergarten class on her birthday.  I told her that some of her class-mates may not know what pokeballs are, so she drew this helpful sign.  Dan’s got her SO into pokemon lately!  I think it started because he thought she might like it and showed her a few episodes, now they happily watch it together on Saturday mornings. :)  I think she’s adorable!

Here’s Sophie opening presents early in the morning on her birthday, she is always spoiled by her wonderful grandparents.

Sophie wrote the 6 and her name on this cake by herself, pretty cute.  She’s already in her favorite PJ’s, one of Dan’s shirt the girls lovingly call, “a daddy shirt!!”

I went over my usually very strict birthday present budget and got Sophie a new bike.  She really wanted a new one, her old one has been too small for her for 2 years now!  She still tried to ride it last year with her knees hitting the handle bars, poor girl.  She has been telling me for months she wants a new bike and she was so persistent!  Everyday when she was leaving for school she would remind me I needed to go to the store while she was gone and get her bike, then she’d ask me afterwards if I got it.  She’s still on training wheels but she tried 2-wheels for the first time a couple weeks ago, she still needs more practice, but she’s excited!

I love you Sophie!  You are so energetic, imaginative, fun, ticklish, and obedient (almost all of the time)! Our family is lucky to have you!!
