Happy 3rd Birthday Sophie!

Sophie bug is officially three years old! She is so independent, sweet, determined and has a bit of a diva side. :) She has her three big brothers wrapped around her little finger, and loves to have tea parties with them! Sophie is still loving her gymnastics class twice a week, and looks forward to learning new tricks each class. She also started preschool this year, and is loving going to school like a big girl. She loves her teachers, and looks forward to going every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Since her birthday fell on a Wednesday this year, Sophie got to take cupcakes to share with her friends at school! She had lots of fun celebrating at school, and then we had a little celebration at home. We had Mac n Cheese, one of Sophie's favorites... although she would've preferred just having cupcakes for dinner! She opened up her presents, and had a great day of celebration!

Happy Birthday Sophie Grace! 

First Day of School!

Where did the summer go? We had so many fun adventures that it went by so quickly! It was a big start to the school year for everyone. Caleb started 2nd grade, Tyler started 1st grade, Garett started his LAST year of preschool and is going M-F, and Miss Sophie started her first year of preschool, and she's going on M, W, F. They all seemed excited about the school year starting, and it is going pretty well so far! Sophie was SO excited to start going to school like her brothers. Her favorite part seems to be carrying her pink backpack!

Sophie's Birthday Party!

Over Labor Day weekend we celebrated Miss Sophie's 3rd birthday a few weeks early! She didn't seem to mind! We had some visitors over the long weekend so it seemed like the perfect time to celebrate. One of Sophie's favorite things to do is to have tea parties, so she had a pink lemonade tea party! We had lots of yummy sandwiches, lemonade, tea, veggies, fruit inside of a tea pot watermelon, jello lemons, finger foods and pink lemonade cupcakes! It was so fun and girly, and right up Sophie's alley. It's also no kid party without a craft, so the kiddos made special hats. The girls decorated tea hats for the occasion, and the boys decorated top hats. They turned out very cute. Check out some of the pictures!
