Sophia's Spring Program and Strawberry Pickin!

At the beginning of May Sophia had her school Spring Program. I was very excited about this because it is the one program that is in the evening so Phil could definitely come and I asked my parents of they would like to come up as well. My dad had to work but my mom came and Sophia was very excited to see her. She made my mom play hungry hippo and candyland as soon as she got in the door. Sophia did great during the show. She had been practicing the songs at home so I knew she knew most of the words. The motions to the songs were really cute and halfway through the show she thought it would be a good idea to start kissing on the boy to her left. :) After the kids were done singing they had a slide show of some of the pictures that were taken during the school days of the kids. Sophia liked finding herself in the pictures. I think she had a good time and it is always interesting to see what the kids are going to do.


Sophia and Judd..this is the little boy she was trying to kiss..he wasn't very pleased about it. :)



Little Owen surrounded by all the ladies. :)

We also took Sophia to pick strawberries recently. If you have read my blog for awhile you know this has become a yearly tradition. She loves going and it is fun to see how she has changed over the years doing this activity. It used to be that she would just play now she is all business about picking the strawberries. I must admit it was easier to get cute pictures of her in the strawberry field when she would just play. :)

Touch A Truck

A couple of weekends ago we took Sophia to a local event called Touch A Truck. We tried to take her last year but she was scared to death of get this not the trucks but of walking around in the parking lot. :) Last year I had been working with her about holding hands while in the parking because of the cars driving around. Well it totally freaked her out and we didn't end up staying very long.

This year was a different story. She LOVED getting to see all the different trucks and wanted to climb in a lot of them. She was a bit worried though they were going to start moving but once I explained to her the keys weren't in the ignition she let loose. :) There also happens to be a BMX track across from where they were having the Touch a Truck event. Phil took Sophia over to watch them practice and now she is adament that she wants a bicycle so she can race too. We will see I guess. :)


She thought it was great to honk the horn...and did it several times. :)

More Fishing

So most of you who know me know I'm not a fishing person. In fact until recently I was quite the wuss and would scream when one actually had the nerve to get on my hook. There are many reasons for the screaming and slight anxiety attack over this animal squirming around on the end of my line but I wont go into them here. I will say that I have gotten over them and sucked it up because Sophia quite enjoys fishing. She isn't half bad at it either. Now we haven't put a hook on her line yet because to be honest it scares me to death. She has a decent cast though and has fun just doing that.

We also got a good chuckle from Sophia tonight. We were feeding the geese right before we left and one got really close so I told her to squat down and the geese would get closer. Well she thought I said squawk so all I hear is her going squawk squawk. You have to love how kids minds work.



Sophia has become a pro she just casts and leaves her fishing rod. :)

She helped Phil real this big guy in. :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! I've had a wonderful weekend and have been spoiled rotten. One of my favorite things that we did was go to Line Creek Trail in Peachtree City. They have a duck pond with a gazebo and dock but they also have a couple of nice walking trails and one of them leads down to line creek. So we were able to put our feet in and play around in the water. I hope all of you mommies had a wonderful weekend! To celebrate Mother's Day here are a few pictures of my sweet peanut. :)






I just thought I would throw this one in...it makes me laugh. Sophia LOVES yogurt! She decided a yogurt mustache was in order the other night. :)

A Little Freaked Out!

So I definitely needed a cup of coffee this morning but didn't have the time to brew some and didn't want to waste a whole pot so I decided "hey Chic Fil A has good coffee I'll go there!" I looked a hot mess because I had to rush out this morning to get Sophia to school so I went through the drive thru. Can you imagine my shock when I pull up and there is a little person looking at me on the screen! They have a screen on their intercom now! I'm not sure why this threw me for such a big loop but I couldn't look the person in the eye I was so embarrassed. I'm sure the person saw straight up my nose because I was looking off in the distance and some imaginary thing. After I left I called myself a big goober because they see you when they hand you your food anyway. I just couldn't/can't figure out why it bothered me but it did and I still am just a little freaked out! :)

Does anyone elses Chic Fil A have the video intercom??

My Baby Girl

A few pictures of my sweet girl that Phil has taken lately. Sophia has recently really bonded with Cleveland. She actually asked for Phil to take this picture of her and Cleveland.

I wanted some updated pictures of Sophia to put around the house and this is one of my favorites that Phil took. I love the braided pigtails!

Cheeky Monkey...look at those crossed legs no one told her to do that. :)

My friend Carly recently had a baby girl named Kendall. Sophia loves her..this is Sophia checking up on Kendall seeing what she is doing. :)

Fire Station Visit and Going Fishin

The day after we got back from visiting my parents Sophia and I went on a field trip with my MOMS Club to the Fire Station. I think everyone had a great time and the guys that gave us the tour were really nice. The kids got to climb on the fire truck, turn on the sirens, spray a small water hose and put on their gear if they wanted to. We had a good turnout for this one and that always makes me happy seeing as I'm field trip coordinator. :)

Sophia on the fire truck..she was a little shy at first but soon got over it.

She was pleased as punch about getting to honk the horn. The only thing she said to me was "I wasn't shy mommy" lol



Photo op..there were more kiddos but we couldn't wrangle them all.

Sophia has recently gotten her first fishing pole as well. Phil has been asking her for awhile if she wanted to go fishing and she kept saying yes so we thought we would try it out. So off to Target we went and she picked out a pink and purple princess fishing rod. There is also a little crown weight that came with it so she could practice casting. She is doing pretty good casting sometimes she forgets to let go of the button and it doesn't go anywhere. As of now we are still practicing and she hasn't gotten a real hook...that may be awhile. She still has a lot of fun though and I don't think she knows the difference really.

She has her chair and fishing rod...all set!
