Hinges

Today in class the teacher commented on how wiggly everyone was. Lindsay raised her hand and said, "I know a song to get the wiggles out." The teacher asked Lindsay to come up and show the class her song so she did. She told everyone they needed to stand up and get room to move around which they all did. When everyone was ready, this is the song she tried to teach her class.......

I can't believe she was so brave and did this!!! She did tell me later that "my tummy felt a little nervous when I was up in front of my class" I told her I didn't blame her one bit!!! She's such a funny girl!

6 months

I am completely shocked that Sophie is already 6 months! She is growing up so fast it's almost sad! She can sit up pretty much all by herself, we just need to pad the area around her because she still falls every so often. Her brothers are the very best at making her laugh and getting her to laugh is getting easier, although she still can be very stingy with talking and laughing. She loves her baths, and loves to watch herself in the mirror while I comb her hair. Sophie sucks in her index finger and middle finger. She loves rattles and keys and her doll. We just love her to pieces!

Cousins!

Over Labor Day weekend we got to go to Utah and meet a new cousin! Graham was born the end of July and it was so fun getting to finally meet him in person! We had a wonderful weekend! Family dinners, football parties, baptisms, blessings, and family pictures! Can't beat that! :)

This is my favorite picture from the whole weekend! I don't know why I like it so much, but I LOVE IT!!! Sophie, Steph, Zach and Graham

Sophie and Graham meeting for the first time

Our kids finally have a cousin on the Shelton side! Aren't they SO CUTE?!?!?

Graham is already shocked at how over dramatic girls can get... even at 5 months.

The Shelton girls

Sitting?!?!

Over Labor Day Sophie started sitting! She is still pretty wobbly, but is getting pretty good at it! Which, as you can tell from the picture, she is just thrilled about!

Curly Sue!

We wanted to capture a bit of Sophie's curly hair before it goes away. It's already starting to straighten.... so sad. Lindsay's hair did the same thing.

Funny!

The kids are cleaning their rooms right now. They are pretty bad as it's been about 2 weeks since I've had them do it. Brandon came down the stairs and I asked him if he was done. He said, " Well, I was just wondering if it's ok if I just make a walkway?" I laughed. "No, it's not ok" He thought for a minute, "What if it's a really big walkway?" What a hilarious kid!!!! Being a mom cracks me up sometimes!

TWINNERS!

Many of you know that I think Sophie and my mom look very much alike. Some of you might have even witnessed this likeness, but I wanted to post a few pictures to prove to all how RIGHT I am about these two!

at the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple open house.

my mom was a super good sport about this... hopefully she'll be an even better sport about my posting it! Love you mom!
