Paging Dr. Sophie...

I picked up this outfit today at TJ Maxx, it's so adorable! It came in a little mesh bag, so I really didn't even know what it looked like. It's from Barefoot Dreams, and it was labeled a 'Toddler Lounge Set'. "The hippest lounge set around." It looks like little scrubs, I just love it. The pants have an elastic waist, so she can easily pull the pants down to go potty, so that's a bonus. The pants are quite big and roomy, so we rolled the waist down (you know, like all the cool teens do!). Comfy! Oh if I could get a pair in my size...

She got some cool new shoes today too - although they don't quite go w/the outfit, she wanted to wear them for the pictures. As you can see she was having fun at our little 'photo shoot'. For you people in a hot climate, it was a cool, breezy 68 degrees today. Be jealous. ;)

Daddy's Girl

Sharing secrets

Sharing crackers

"Here Daddy, have a bite!"

"My Daddy is so funny..."

& Diesel Makes Seven...

You know how we just got Maggie a few weeks ago? When we picked Miss Maggie, we had a hard time choosing. We really liked her brindle brother, too. But TWO PUPPIES? That would be crazy...

Well here's a newsflash for you... WE'RE CRAZY!!! We picked him up tonight. Isn't he a handsome, big boy?

Here is Diesel. Paige is holding him. Isn't he adorable?

Diesel, 12 weeks old

Maggie & Diesel playing on the front lawn. They wrestled so hard, but they were having fun!

They tumbled all over each other, and used their teeth to nibble on each other. They've gotten along rather well, with only a couple serious scuffles and growls.

Diesel is a few pounds (I'm guessing) bigger than Maggie. He's a sweet boy, and has done well thus far. He's in sleeping w/Paige tonight. We thought we'd better separate them some, so we can get some sleep around here! We're not allowing them to 'play' in the house. That rough play is for outside!

Sister & Brother

Dad & Sophia working while the pups were playing. Notice Sophia's small wheelbarrow! It was hot today, and after I snapped this one and put the camera away, Dad took his shirt off, and Sophia had to take hers off too! Then Sophia said to me, 'Mama, you go get your camera!' Oh yes, she knows how it works!

The Sandpile

Sophia, Noah & Maggie just love the sandpile out behind the house. Here Maggie gets in on the digging action!

She wasn't eating the sand, just digging and rooting.

Noah & Sophia pretend to dig like Maggie.

Ooooh these bricks are heavy!

She's so strong!

"Here Noah!"

Noah loads them in his dump truck

I think he's exceeded the weight limit!

Sophia loves the shovel (notice the snazzy jewelry, she's not a total tomboy...)

Uses her foot to push just like big brother

Noah sends the dump truck over the hill - CRASH!

Sophia works to fill her dump truck

Maggie was getting after an ant on the sand pile, she would pounce on it!

"For you Mama!"

Maggie's 12 weeks now, and we can see how much she's grown in just a few weeks!

Sophie 'Supah Stah'!

I took these pictures the first or second day of Sophia's potty training. Sophia was being a ham, posing for pictures. She was pointing at the sticker reward chart, showing off all her hard earned stickers. It's been a couple of weeks now, and after the first 3 or 4 days, she isn't interested in the sticker chart at all. I love this little outfit on her!

One of America's Best Selling Cars

Noah's such a great big brother, pushing Sophia all over the front lawn. Look how fast he's going, her hair is blowing!


The grin on her face says it all! Slow down Noah...


UH OH! Noah quickly puts the car back up on four wheels...


It's all good! Ready to go again!

What's in YOUR bag?

I've been tagged by SAM, to post what's in my diaper bag/purse. I don't use a diaper bag (never have), so here's the purse and purse contents!

The purse I got at TJMaxx (love that store!) by MAE & J. It's leather, and so soft and supple!

I also have to tag 3 more, so how about:
BRENDA
BRIDGET
CONNIE

p.s. I don't keep my extra camera batteries in my purse, but my camera bag. ;)
