Elizabeth's birthday

Easter Sunday

First, the hunt...

Then the really cute Easter dress!

Then fun with Grandma and the triplets!

Sophie's new favorite toy

We realized we were spending way too much money on toys! She received more satisfaction out of this box than anything we bought for her!

Tennis Anyone?

Brooklyn and Jeff are in town and on Saturday we played what I love most- Tennis! We are planning on Sophie becoming a professional tennis player so we can retire at 45 and travel around the world with her!

I used to beat Brady but I think now he's better than me. His serves are really powerful!

The beautiful pregnant tennis girl!

Matthew & Brooklyn

Jeff and his really cute 'yearbook ready' pose!

Like a true professional carrying extra racquets since she will probably break a few strings.

Just the right size! Aren't tennis racquets supposed to be just an inch shorter than your height?

Multitasking!

Utah

This past weekend we went to Utah to attend the funeral of Brady's sweet Grandpa Clark. We really miss him. He was such a kind man, and had a personal relationship with each of his grandchildren. He made everyone feel so special. He was so encouraging, so loving, and really so much fun. I wish Sophie got a chance to know him like we did. While we were there we also went to the baby blessing of Sophie's new cousin Ryan, but because I'm a really bad picture taker, I have no pictures of the event, and no pictures of Sophie with any of her cousins or grandparents. This is Sophie last April with Grandma & Grandpa Clark. I'm so happy I have this picture.

Sweet Grandma Clark and us at the luncheon after the funeral.

First Haircut and Other Long Overdue Posts

I have completely neglected our blog and the entire blogging universe for a long time now, but I am back and ready to be consistent (maybe).
Sophie got her first haircut while we were in Arizona last week! My mom couldn't take the unevenness anymore, so she booked an appointment at Blossom salon! She got a cute little 'Posh Spice' do! It's long in the front, then goes to a stacked bob in the back! She looks really adorable and so stylish!

She was so good and still for most of the haircut!

She started getting a little antsy so Grandma had to entertain her with giant fabric flowers!

"Beauty is a Duty!" The blow dryer and round brushing scared her a little, and after about 3 minutes she really wanted to go play!

Christmastime!

We spent Christmas this year in Arizona. Sophie and I stayed for a week, but Brady could only join us for a couple days.

Sophie in her cute (not so Christmasy- can wear more than once) new dress!

She was so great last year, they asked her to reprise her role as Baby Jesus in the annual Christmas Eve Nativity (baby Hudson was asleep)! She got a little overwhelmed halfway through so her understudy (a doll) had to step in for the last half!

The wonderful cast and crew! My sister Melanie actually got all these costumes in the "Holy Land' when they went on their Church History tour last year.

Lovin' all the presents and her cousin Davis!

Polar Express

A couple days before Christmas Sophie and I went with some of my family on "The Polar Express" in Williams, AZ! It was really fun- freezing, but fun!

Sophie loves her little (bigger) cousin Hudson! She always has to hug and kiss him!

I love these gift shop hats! Don't worry- it's faux fur!

Santa gave every kid a bell! Sophie loved hers so much! She kept ringing it and trying to eat it!

With the Grandparents!

Sophie's first steps!!
