What Sophie loves

Just a little glimpse of what Sophie has spent most of her 5 weeks doing. Ahhhh....sleep baby sleep

What keeps Abbi busy!

Here are a few ways Abbi has kept her busy little body busy, this last month while adjusting to a new baby! The bikes twice her size, but ride Abbi ride.
This girl is so busy...she goes from toy to toy, but she loves bouncing on her zebra.

She may not like to jump, but how about climbing up and down the ladder.

This little diva has a love for shoes. (she takes after her momma) When it's time to get dressed she grabs a pair of shoes out of her basket and sits right down.

Who doesn't love to hang gangsta style sporting a little Lightning McQueen.

A few things Warner loves!

With a new baby around we haven't left the house much this August. Here's how Warner has occupied his time! He loves bouncing his little sister around and doing tricks!
He may hate me in the future, but he loves this hand-me-down Barbie Jeep. I've created a monster.....the other day he was heading to Holly's to get a Coke! (He's learned he has to stay in the yard)!

Who doesn't love running around in Superman Jammie's? He runs so fast the his cape flies!

He finally gave us our TV back because he has figured out how to play games on noggin.com. Yay...no more sponge bob cartoons.

Warner loves anything to do with crafting. Here he is painting his tool box from the construction party. Great job buddy!

Home Depot Construction Party!

Yesterday I took the kids over the the fair. They were doing a Home Depot construction party. We all were in need of getting out of the house and thought this would be fun. Warner couldn't wait to go to his party! Just as we get there a HUGE wind and rain storm came in. It was blowing the shade tents and the tables all over the place. Warner was crying and Abbi was laughing. I was wondering how I was going to protect three kids if something flies at us! Luckily it came and passed, and the party went on. Everyone was in a hurry to get out of there so we put Warner's little project together. Here he is today showing off his tool box. He and Abbi have been wearing their aprons around the house this after noon. Proud little handy man!
Seriously so cute! She has loved putting things in and out of her apron pockets!

Sophie's arrival and many visitors

On July 18th I ran to get my hair done. After doing that I walked around Wal Mart and felt like there was no way I was going to make it another day pregnant. I still had till the 23rd when the Dr. would do my c-section. Needless to say there were a lot of tears being shed, because I was so done being pregnant! That night after I got home Ryan was out on the trampoline with the kids. I got on and decided to do a little jumping in hopes that the baby would come on her own, that way they would have to do my c-section early. No signs of a baby though. We did our nightly routine and went to bed. About 4 in the morning I woke to do my usual bathroom break! As luck would have it my water broke. I'm yelling from the bathroom to wake Ryan up. I think he was in a little shock when I was yelling my water broke. He just started pacing the floor back and forth wondering what to do. I'm telling him to just call his mom and have her come over. At this point I was wishing I had listened to Ryan the night before when he told my I should really pack a bag for the hospital. I went to the hospital with my purse, camera, and mismatching clothes on my back. That was it. We got to the hospital about 4:30 and Little Sophie was here by 6:30 AM. When we went into the operating room they had the sounds of Sunday playing and it made for an enjoyable Sunday!! We are so happy she is finally here safe and sound!Just the three of us after Sophies arrival.
Grandma brought the kids over to meet the new little sister. Abbi got a little emotional when she first saw her. She started crying like she knew her world had just changed. It broke my heart for a moment, until she started gooing over her sister.

Here are some of Sophie's visitors over the hospital stay and her first week. Grandpa Warner was in the hospital himself so we drove her to see him! From grandparents, great grandma's, aunts and uncles, and friends.....Sophie was loved!


You'll notice Warner isn't in any of these pictures....That's because Abbi is Sophie's personal guard. She even tries to share her Binky with her. Sophie has spent a lot of time in her little chair on the counter top or table. Poor thing is a little smothered by her big sister!!
