The four of us at Pink Taco

Such a pretty background

Me and Rebekah

We had so much fun WINDOW shopping in Scottsdale

Doug feeding Sophie - she really bonded with him

This is what Rebekah, Me, and Sadie woke up to on Valentines Day

Doug and Rebekah were so sweet with Sophie

They went golfing...

...and we got a massage

And then a smoothie

Con Man

Our little Sadie

Dinner at Abuelo's

Boys are like little kids when they go swimming

Doug jumped in so we had to re-do it

Me and Rebekah minus Doug!

Connor and Sadie had so much fun

Unbelievable - the Heisman Pose

Doug loves to throw and Matt loves to catch-so it really worked out for them

They bought this b-ball hoop for the pool

Doug and Rebekah were so sweet to play with them

Well, Doug and Rebekah came and stayed with us for a week and it was so much fun. We took advantage of the time we had. We were at the pool a lot! We went out to eat a ton and of course, no surprise, lots of Sonic Runs! I think what meant the most to me was the effort they made to come and spend time with our little family. They bonded with Sophie so much. She found Doug no matter where he was. I can honestly say she really knows them and who they are. And, that really means a lot to me. Especially with how much she is changing. We also played games and watched the first season of "Burn Notice". We had a blast! Thanks for coming - we love you!

More Sophie Pictures

She is making it easier for me to capture these pictures of her!

(Her bottom two teeth)

My little Sophie is growing up so fast. She is almost 7 months and it makes me sad. Especially where I feel like she is changing so much and no one is here to see it. So, I thought I would post some more pictures of her, one of them even shows her bottom two teeth.

"The Best Day"

(This song is playing on the side right now)

I'm five years old
It's getting cold out
Got my big coat on

I hear your laugh
And look up at smilin at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch
And the tractor rides
Look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs
And fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
But I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today

I'm 13 now
And don't know how
My friends could be so mean
I come home crying
And you hold me tight
And grab the keys

And we drive and drive
Until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop
Til i forgotten all their names

I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughin
On the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today

I have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother
Inside and out
He's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And I had the best days with you

There is a video I found
From back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen
And you're talkin to me
It's the edge of princesses and pirate ships
And the seven dwarfs
My Daddy's smart
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

Now I know why the all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine

And I didn't know if you knew
So I'm takin this chance to say
I had the best day with you today

There are so many pictures here, but I had to get them for my book! Sorry! We really did have so much fun at Christmas. Thank you family, we miss you so much and little Sophie keeps changing everyday - it makes me so sad that you have to miss out on it! I guess that is why we take advantage of the little time we do ever have!
