Sophia~"All about Me"

Earlier this year Sophia had to make an "all about me" poster for school.  It turned out super cute and we had so much fun doing it together.  It's currently hanging on the wall in her classroom.  They made them for Open House so all the parents could see them!

Family LA Zoo trip!

We had an awesome Zoo trip a few weeks ago.  The highlight was some serious cave exploring at the end of the day. They also loved some water play in Winter.  The boys are starting to play more together so it was awesome watching them enjoying each other's company through the caves and in the water.  We also loved the big carousel and of course had to go on 2x!

All things Valentine...

Seems like it was Valentine's WEEK in our house! So much planning for the school Valentine's treats.  This year we gave out little "cutie's" with tags that said "orange you glad we're friends".  The kids loved helping stuff the bags.  We had to make 60 Valentine's...ay yay yay! So cute...but so much work.

               
                                Presto GOING TO THE TREASURE BOX on V-day...SCORE!!

                                               Mama baked a yummy confetti cake!

Livy's 9 month stats...

Our sweet baby girl had her 9 month appointment today.  Sadly, last night she vomited ALL over her crib(while Daddy was on a business trip...ahhh!!).  Mommy went to check on her at 11:30pm and found her entire crib and body/hair/ears/clothes covered in throw up.  I got her up and gave her a bath and she didn't so much as make a peep...she just stared at me with her sweet eyes like "Mama what the heck are you doing to me in the middle of the night??".  She seems fine today and was all smiles at her appointment.  She still only has one little tooth poking through on the bottom...she'll be a late bloomer like her sissy! She gave Dr. Osher one of her huge gummy smiles, got 1 shot, and we were on our merry way! Here are her stats:
Weight: 20lbs(65th percentile)
Height: 28(58th percentile)
Head: 44cm(46th percentile)
Just for comparison, our Bentley's stats at 9 months were(I'm shocked he weighed more!!):

weight: 22lbs 3oz(74th percentile)

height: 29 3/4"(89th percentile)

Head: 48cm(95th percentile) 

THIS IS HOW SHE DRINKS HER BABA!!

DINNER TIME IS SUPER FUN WITH LIVY ROSE IN THE HOUSE.  SHE'S SO EXCITED! 

                           AND SHE LOVES BUGGY RIDES COURTESY OF HER BIG SISSY!!

Olivia Rose is officially baptised...

What a special day this was for our family.  All 4 of our kids have now been baptized.  Olivia's godmommy is Marta Navas who mommy worked with for many years and is very special to our whole family and her godfather is Uncle Frank(couldn't think of better person for the job!).  It was such a nice ceremony and Olivia was a trooper even though she'd had zero nap and it started at 1:30(worst time ever with little ones).  She spent a lot of time wiggling all over but made it through!! Phia got a special job by the Deacon.  He had her hold the book he was getting the reading from.  She felt very privileged and was beaming from ear to ear.  We all headed back to our house for an awesome Red's lunch with all the dessert goodies courtesy of Nana.  She made an AMAZING blueberry cheesecake, and some chocolate heart tarts for the kids with pink frosting! She's super cool like that...one of the many many reasons we love Nana.
