Birthday Girl

She's one and I cannot believe it. She is really turning into her own little person and she is hilarious. The older she gets the more she makes me laugh. She has some of the best facial expressions and she becomes more opinionated everyday. She loves her sister so much but she doesn't trust Tanner, and for good reason. He has a tendency to push her and bother her. She is slowly liking people better. We sure love our Soffie.

-The girl loves food, especially fruit, sugar, and dairy.
-She crawls all over but is too scared to walk and gets very angry when we try to make her.
-She is starting to transition to one nap a day.
- Loves to be outside.
-She loves to dance, lucky for her her sister is constantly listening to music.
-She loves her blanket and pillow pet.
-She is a binky lover, it may be a problem when we take it away.
-She is a nightmare to change her diaper.

Soffie's 1 year Photoshoot

 I have seen so many cute ideas for a 1 year photo shoot and so I was ridiculous and bought her an outfit that she won't wear again but it was so fun. I think the pictures turned out cute, it doesn't hurt that she is stinkin cute.

 I love this picture, she has so many facial expressions and she loves to give dirty looks.

Twin Lakes

 This year at Twin Lakes was probably one of my favorites, we had a great time. It started out a little stressful because our boat has been having a few problems. We thought the problem was fixed but it wasn't. Luckily we know a lot of people up there and everyone helps each other. There was a guy in the camp that knows a lot about boats and he had it fixed in about 10 minutes. Luckily it was just some wiring that was switched. Our boat has been great ever since.
My sister Janet and her husband, my brother and his family, my sister Stephanie and her kids, and my sister Trina and her family came. The weather was pretty nice, we had a lot of warm days. The kids had fun swimming, skiing, and knee boarding the whole week. Ella tried skiing for the first time this year, she was able to get up for a little bit each time she tried. Tanner tried knee boarding all my himself this year. He actually ended up falling and screaming but he did it again the next day. I was pretty surprised.
We also had lots of crafts to do fro the kids. The kids had a snowball fight, we made duct tape purses and wallets, we did rocket balloons, giant bubbles, and lots of other fun crafts.
Soffie was so excited to be at Twin Lakes that she woke up at 5 am every morning. She was also cutting 4 teeth that week, so she was a little raging. Luckily by the end of the week she was back to her normal sweet self.
