We had a great Easter Sunday, church and then brunch at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Follwed with an Easter Egg hunt, which Sofia just loved! She wanted to find "eggies" for days after Easter. Both girls got great stuff from the Easter Bunny, a Doll house, a new baby and crayons and coloring books!

Sweet Sofia

2011-04-06T13:11:00.000-07:00

Can't believe how BIG Sofia is getting. She is talking so well now, jumping, running, throwing and just keeping constatly busy! She is just the BEST big sister and we are so lucky that she loves Stella so very much! Sofia will make you laugh, make you smile, and make your heart melt! God blessed us with just the most beautiful girl!

Sweet Stella!!!

2011-03-22T19:19:00.000-07:00

Can't believe how fast Stella is growing up. It is true when they say, they don't stay little for long! She is such a sweet baby and reminds me so much of her sister, Sofia at that age. What a blessing my girls are! Have I mentioned, I LOVE being a mom!!!!

Sid the Science Kid Party for Friends

2011-02-26T20:39:00.000-08:00

On Saturday we had a 'sid the science kid' theme for her birthday party with friends. We hosted the part at our local Pizza Shoppe and it was great. The kiddos colored pictures of Sid and the gang while the parents ate pizza and drank beer. The kids also got to load up on candy with our Sid Pinata. There was Cake, cupcakes and these amazing oreo chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Sofia had a great time!

Happy #2, Sofia Reid

2011-02-25T20:36:00.000-08:00

Can't believe another year has gone by.....what a beautiful girl Sofia is! She is happy, healthy and 2 years old. Couldn't ask for more! Here are some pictures from our birthday party we had at home for her, just with family!

Stella's Baptism Day

2011-02-06T20:24:00.000-08:00

Sweet Stella was Baptized today, Sunday February 6th. We were so lucky to have many great friends and family there for the occasion. She was GREAT during the entire mass and ceremony.

Snowmaggedon 2011

2011-02-03T20:10:00.000-08:00

The end of January/beginning of February KC got hit with a major snowstorm as did much of the midwest. I think we got about 13 inches of snow, the most KC has seen in a few years. Many places were closed, including work for Al so the 4 of us enjoyed some family time "snowed in"......

Sofia knows her letters

3 months old...already!

2011-02-01T20:18:00.000-08:00

Time is just going by so fast...but I am enjoying every snuggle, smile, and laugh I can! Babies are the best!

Life with 2!

2011-02-01T19:40:00.000-08:00

Never a dull moment in this house anymore! Someone is always needing attention, something to eat, something to play with, or a fix to their boo-boo. Life with 2 is hectic, and chaotic at times but I wouldn't change it for anything. These girls light up my days and my nights!

A Sunday Snooze!!!

2011-01-16T19:47:00.000-08:00

It was a busy holiday season with 2 beautiful girls and it was also a very blessed one! Al and I are very lucky to have such wonderful, healthy girls! Happy 2011 to all of our friends and family! WE love you!

Santa's Visit

2010-12-12T14:07:00.000-08:00

We ventured out in the cold KC weather to see Santa only to be dissapointed by the fact that Sofia would hav nothing to do with the big guy in the red suit. Oh well, I guess she is still a little too young, maybe next year. At least my baby Stella behaved and sat on his lap :)

Time is going by so fast, and my little Stella is already a month old. She now weighs 9lbs and is 20 inches long. She is starting to hold her head up on her own for small amounts of time and she has started to smile! I am so in love with her! What an absolute blessing she is to our family!

Sofia is adjusting very well with new life with a sister. She is very curious of 'baby.' She helps mommy by getting diapers and throwing dirty diapers away. And she loves to kiss, hug and hold sissy!

Happy Birthday, Stella Rose

2010-11-01T14:12:00.000-07:00

November 1, 2010 - Stella Rose is here. She is happy, healthy and just as beautiful as her big sister. She was born at 10:21am on 11.1.10 she was 8lbs and 1oz and 19.5 inches. Very similar to her sister when she was born. My labor went great, very fast, but for the most part pretty easy. I am so blessed, my family is so wonderful!

Happy Halloween, 2010

2010-10-31T13:57:00.000-07:00

Sofia's first Halloween where we took her trick or treating. She got the hang of collecting candy door to door, really fast! She had a great time, and even I got into the dress up....by decorating my bump!

We recently had our family photos taken (before baby 2 greets us soon!) and they turned out so amazing! She does amazing work!
Most of the pics were too big for my blog, so poor Al got cut off on some of them, head over to http://luckyphotgrapher.net and check out her blog for the full pictures.

Sofia Recognizing Pictures of her Family!

2010-10-28T10:09:00.000-07:00

Pumpkin Patch 2010

2010-10-23T09:56:00.000-07:00

We took Sofia to pick out some pumpkins the other day. She enjoyed running around all of the pumpkins. It was a little too windy that day, which made it hard to capture a great picture.

2010-09-09T19:31:00.000-07:00

This fall we have started Sofia into tumbling class. At first she was not so sure, but now she LOVES going and playing with all the activities. She is even starting to become more adventurous doing some of the tumbling tricks they teach during each class. Future Cheerleader??? I think so!

Baby Stuff...

2010-06-12T13:09:00.000-07:00

I feel bad, I have hardly written anything about the next one we have coming. With Sofia I used to update this all the time with "Baby News." I guess time to myself is very limted! But anyways Baby 2 is doing great, I am almost half way done! 20 weeks on Friday! On Monday Al and I will go to the doctor to find out offically if this one is another girl, or a little boy! My pregnancy has been going wonderful. I have been feeling great, and doing well. The baby is growing and seems to be healthy. We have had about 4 doctors apt. and two sonograms. Little baby has had a heartrate around the 150-160's each time. Sofia was about the same. I will try to do better about keeping updated with belly pics and baby pics. I am still waiting for that bump to pop, I am sure its coming soon! I guess its really time to get busy and get focused on preparing for life with 2 children!!!!!!

Summer Time = Pool Time!

2010-06-12T12:59:00.000-07:00

So far this summer we can't NOT keep Sofia out of the water. She LOVES swimming rain or shine, cold water or warm. She is a waterbaby!

Sofia Loves the Outdoors!

2010-05-02T18:45:00.001-07:00

Wether it is playing at the park, on the swings, in her pink car, our just playing outside, Sofia is so happy to do anything outdoors! She is an outdoor girl that loves her some sunshine!

Here is a picture of Sofia's cute cute birthday invitation! I can't beleive we are going to have a ONE year old pretty soon! The time has just flown by, but it has been such an amazing year watching her grow. It has been really fun getting everything ready for her birthday. I am so excited for Sofia to try her first birthday cake, I am sure she will love it! Look at all of her faces on the invitation and how much she has changed. She is our little sweetie!

Happy Valentines Day! 2010

Our little Sweetheart!

I am 11 months old

2010-01-26T11:48:00.000-08:00

I can not even beleive Sofia is already 11 months old and that in a few short weeks we will have a ONE year old....where has the time gone? Missing my little snuggly baby as Sofia now is on the move (walking, crawling, squirming) all the time. We have been blessed though, with a healthy and oh so HAPPY baby and we just fall more madly in love with her as each day passes! Being parents is the best!!!
Updates on Sofia - she has 8 teeth, she loves to play, she loves to clap her hands or other objects together. She is walking so well now, she picked that up in less than a month. She LOVES other babies/kids and she can say Hi, MaMa, DaDa, and NaNa! She almost has the concept of "blowing kisses" down but we are still working on that. I stand outside my parents house every morning and blow her kisses goodbye!

Sofia is a walking pro now!

2010-01-24T13:04:00.000-08:00

Way to go Sof!!!!

Merry Christmas - I am 10 months Old Today!

2009-12-25T16:10:00.000-08:00

This Christmas we traveled to California to visit Al's parents. So nice to be in warmer weather for a change. Sofia also happen to turn 10 months old on Christmas Day. Sofia is in to EVERYTHING now...she loves to open cabinets and drawers and pull things out of them and throw them on the floor. She loves to walk if you hold on to her hands. She has 8 teeth now, 4 of which are still working their way in and she weights 20 lbs. She is growing up so fast, I can hardly believe I will have a 1 year old soon...where has the time gone?

Sofia is SOOO BIG!

Happy Thanksgiving 2009!!

2009-11-27T20:00:00.000-08:00

Sofia's first thanksgiving! Such a fun time! Our family travled to Iowa to visit my relatives in Des Monies. Sofia did not like the car ride so much but was a big hit at dinner. She was very good once we got there and loved exploring a new house. Thanks Mari and Pat for a great thanksgiving dinner! We are so thankful for so many things this year but most of all we feel so blessed to have a healthy baby girl. She is the best blessing of all!

Today, I am 9 months old!!!!!

2009-11-25T19:49:00.000-08:00

Our little Sofia is already 9 months old! I feel like it has gone by in the blink of an eye. Her latest trick is waving hi or bye to you....its so cute! She always gets this big smile on her face when she waves! Too sweet! She has two teeth on top and two teeth on bottom. She loves to eat, and pretty much eats anything that is given to her. She loves to pick up food and feed herself though! Such a sweet girl and a very happy baby. We are so lucky!

Watch this video for a good laugh!

Today Sofia is 8 months old....the days are just going by way too fast. We are having so much fun being parents though! Sofia is such a joy to have, such a happy baby full of personality! She loves to play, laugh, and smile. Now she can say 'mama' and 'dada', she is working on her top two teeth to add to the bottom two. She is moving all around the house now, you can not take your eye off her ever or who knows where or what she will be getting into!
