May - June

This is going to be brief & mostly pictures. Enjoy!
Steven loves the game "Angry Birds" and was so excited to find Angry Bird fruit snacks!
Me, Ginelle, my mom. My mom came to visit for about 10 days at the end of April. This is the three of us at Women's Conference at BYU 
 At Women's Conference during the concert on Thursday night. During one of the songs they had people turn on these electric tea lights. It was soooo beautiful!
 My sister, Ginelle, has chickens! Sofia was checking them out during one visit
 Steven & Sofia both thought the chickens were awesome
 Sofia enjoying one of her first snow cones of the season
 Sofia making silly faces when she was playing in her pack-n-play
 Steven had to join the fun ;)
 Sofia swinging at the park. I think it was Memorial Day
On Memorial Day we took the kids to visit their angel cousins
 Steven & Sofia checking out the ducks at Wheeler Farm
 Checking out some of the animals
 Steven was helping me make strawberry jam
 I started out trying to have him mash them with a potato masher...that did not work too well
 ...so in the blender they went!
Steven loving the slide at the water park for the first time this summer
 They both love to swim!
 I realize now how cheesy this picture is, but it's at one of our new favorite restaurants downtown and they have the best butternut squash ravioli appetizer!
 Josh & I after dinner walking around City Creek Center
 The kids really liked to "paint" with water this summer. They also liked getting in the bowls...
 ...and water pitchers...
 Josh & I were a "ma & pa" on a mini-trek at This is the Place park with our stake this summer
 It was 95 degrees out but Sofia insisted on wearing her winter hat
My "before" picture
 My "after" shot
 My sister, Sammy, & I at her salon
Relaxing while getting pedicures
 Our awesome toes
 My favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream! They don't sell it in Utah :(
 I went down to Arizona for Sammy's college graduation (Bachelor's degree). Here is her name in the booklet!

Favorite Pictures of Sofia (04/11 - 04/12)

It is amazing how much Sofia changed from between her birthday last year (2011) & her birthday this year (2012)! I forget how big of a difference a year is when they're toddlers until I look at these pictures.
From a young age, Sofia has been our artist and also our milk-aholic. She still colors a TON and carries her milk around with her wherever she goes.
 Sofia so excited to see the neighbor's cat
 July 2011; at a birthday brunch for Josh's younger brother
 Sofia as a lady bug for Halloween 2011
 Helping Daddy decorate the Christmas tree
 Steven, Josh, & Sofia during Christmastime
 Sofia modeling in her Christmas dress
 Steven & Sofia showing off their Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve 2011
 So excited to have her new chair!
Steven & Sofia. Love this picture!
 Modeling a hat her cousin, Lizzy, knit for her
 Playing with Daddy
 Like I said, she still colors on everything. This was after she had taken permanent marker and colored in most rooms of the house & herself
 Rockin' her shades
 Already in to make-up :-/
 Chuggin' apple juice
She loves to help with the dishes
