Picture a day

This is turning out to be harder than I thought it would be...I've managed to take a picture everyday but finding the time to post them has been a challenge. So here I am catching up again.

January 8. Todd and I went out on a date so it was pizza night for the kids. Sophie and Claire are smiling it up...but Luke looks like he was crying. I think he must have just gotten in trouble for something.


January 9. I was back cleaning like I usually do on Saturday morning and when I walked into the kitchen I found this mess. Sophie had gotten into the pantry (someone forgot to shut the door completely) and pulled out a box of instant oatmeal, she had all the packets on the ground and had bitten a hole into one of the packs and dumped it all over. When I got there she was getting ready to start on the 2nd packet. Silly girl.


January 10. It was a big day at church for us today. Sophie's first day of nursery, Claire's first week as a Sunbeam, and Tayson had his baptism fireside today. It was so great to send Sophie to the nursery and she loved it. Not a tear. Claire loves Sunbeams - she keeps singing the song and telling me she needs to do things "because she's a sunbeam". It's very cute. Then at the fireside the lady talking said "When you get baptized you get wet" but Tayson thought she said what instead of wet and he shot his hand into the air and said "the Holy Ghost". It was so dang cute and funny. I can't believe he is getting baptized this year.


January 11. I found Sophie in the pantry again...this time with a box of granola bars. I'm not sure if she is chewing the box to get the granola bars out or just because she's obviously hungry enough to eat cardboard. On a side note: when we went grocery shopping on Saturday she chewed 2 huge holes in boxes - I was laughing so hard when I gave them to the checker. :)





January 12. This is how my Sophie looks the sweetest. She can be such a handful since she has SOOOOOO much energy and obviously loves to chew on stuff. When she goes to bed she has her binky, her bottle, and her new puppy Violet that she got for Christmas. It is a cool dog - we hooked it up to the computer and put her name, favorite animal (dog), picked songs and colors on it. So when she goes to bed I hit the paw that has the moon on it and it says "cuddle up Sophie" then it plays 2 minutes of lullaby's. She loves it.


January 13. Technically this picture was taken really late on the 12th...but I thought it should count for the 13th. Since I was leaving for 5 days for work we decided to go out (on a weeknight). We went up to the imax and saw Avatar in 3D. Here we are after the movie in our sweet 3D glasses taking a self portrait. Man I love that guy!


January 14. For our work meetings we came to Anaheim and are staying at the Disneyland hotel for 5 days. I saw Minnie Mouse in the cafe when I was going from my room to the ballroom where our meetings were so I thought I'd snap a shot for the kids.


January 15. So today I was working and I was helping the girl on the left of the picture when I asked my coworker if he had something I saw Ian Ziering (Steve Sanders) with him and I actually giggled when I saw him because I wasn't expecting to see him. Then after I finished helping the girl I asked him if I could get my picture with him and she wanted hers with him too. ha ha. It was so funny. In case you don't know who he is - he was on a VERY popular TV show when I was in high school and college (Beverly Hills 90210). It was so funny, because I honestly made a total fool out of myself and I'm pretty sure I was acting like I was about 15 years old. Oh well...it made for a great picture of the day.
