In Annie's class her teacher asked kids to decorate the bulletin board, Annie got picked for January and this was her creation! The back ground she water colored the trees were made from paper that looked like newspaper and the birds were glittered up! All done in true Annie style "the more glitter the better"

Sophie was sure to be apart of it!

And here she is Happy as can be with the way it turned out!!! It was a lot of fun to work on it with here and my mom helped out too, even though it did go into the late night and Q kept us all laughing with his funny drawing and letter that had a picture of Annie my mom and I all screamming :)

Somethings we love about Soph.

1. She is always Happy.

2. She LOVES to ride her bike all day

3. She is funny.

4. She Loves to help cook dinner

5. She will always share her stuff.

All she wanted for her birthday was a play house in the back yard so her Grampa has spent the last few days building her one. She is so excited for it!

Craig is hard at work getting this the rest of the way done.
It is still in progress, but amazing what he can do in only a couple of days!!!

We LOVE you Soph and hope you have the best Birthday ever!

To settle it for all my neighbors and family members YES the shirt Sophie wore did say "I am going to be a BIG SISTER."

noreply@blogger.com (Melisa) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:59:00 +0000

My dad took these pictures at Nicoles wedding and I thought they were so cute! I had to post them!!!!!

Sophie was a Flower Girl and she was so excited to wear that dress, she would ask me all the time if she could just take it to school for show and tell!

Annie was such a good helper all night she was so good at keeping all the tables cleared off and the treat table refiled!

Q was suppose to be helping but since he had the flu the night before was not feeling top notch but he sure looked Handsome!

P.S. While I am posting I wanted to write down something Sophie said that was so funny that I wanted to be able to tell remind her of when she got older: "Mom I cant wait to be a Mom and a bus driver!" I will have to reminder her of this when she is older and looking for a job!

Poem: Be Thankful For…(the mess)

noreply@blogger.com (Melisa) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:24:00 +0000

The mess to clean after a party because it means I
have been surrounded by friends.

The taxes I pay because it means that I’m employed.

The clothes that fit a little too snug because it
means I have enough to eat.

My shadow who watches me work because it means I
am out in the sunshine.

A lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning
and gutters that need fixing because it means I have
a home.

All the complaining I hear about our government because
it means we have freedom of speech.

The space I find at the far end of the parking lot because
it means I am capable of walking.

My huge heating bill because it means I am warm.

The lady behind me in church who sings off key because
it means that I can hear.

The piles of laundry and ironing because it means I have
clothes to wear.

Weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because
it means I have been productive.

The alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because
it means that I’m alive.

Getting too much email bogs me down but at least I know I
have friends who are thinking of me.

Oh it was so good!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Melisa) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:05:00 +0000
