Sophie Turns 3

We had a hugely successful Minnie Mouse party on Saturday. The bouncy castle was a huge hit and so were the Minnie Mouse cupcakes my mom made. I can't believe my baby girl is 3! Happy Birthday Sophie Joy.

The sandbox is a present from Mommy and Daddy.

Phil's mom also took Sophie to Build-A-Bear for the first time for her birthday. She made a ballerina bear and named her Addison.

Fun at the Fair

Sophie and her cousin Caleb had the time of their lives at the fair this year. I am not a huge fan of the fair and being hugely pregnant, I wasn't planning on going. Phil convinced me to go after all since it wasn't TOO hot. It was worth it to see how much fun Sophie had.

A Diaper Party!

Every baby deserves a party! Thanks Sum, for throwing a fabulous one. I'm so lucky to have such a supportive extended family. I really look up to my talented and beautiful aunts, cousins, mother, and grandmother. Now we are more than ready for this baby girl and fully stocked with diapers, wipes, and some really cute new clothes and accessories too. Thanks everyone!

GGG Time

Grandma and Grandpa Goodsell moved to Logan. They built this nice little condo in a new senior community there. Phil still hadn't seen it or ever even been to Logan so last weekend we went to spend time with them. We went to the Logan temple and walked around the newly updated grounds and then drove to Bear Lake. We ate really yummy hamburgers at a restaurant up on the hill with a gorgeous view of the beautiful blue-green water. GGG's clubhouse is really nice and we ended up having the pool and the movie theatre to ourselves! The ice cream from the Aggie creamery was to die for and we ate WAY too much delicious food but there is no way around that at GGG's! We are so grateful for them and treasure every moment we can spend with them.

Summertime Saturdays

Every Saturday morning we meet Papa & TJ at the Farmer's Market. Sophie loves this tradition. We meet at the coffee shop where Papa buys her some banana bread and then we walk to the balloon lady. She makes Sophie whatever her little heart desires and then we walk around until mommy gets too hot.

34 Weeks

This is the very first belly shot of this pregnancy!

Phil has been out at the base this week and they are doing a mock deployment. He has to wear this chemical gear in the 100 degree weather!

My Singing Partner

My friend Natalie and I have had so much fun singing together the last few years. We sing at church events and at random sporting events and always have a blast. I'm so sad she'll be moving to NY so her husband can go to dental school. We sang one last time and since we were playing the canadian team this weekend, we sang "O Canada" and our national anthem for the Hawks. Its kind of silly to have "O Canada" in my repertoire now, but maybe I'll need to sing it again sometime, who knows?

P.S. Can all of my friends PLEASE stop moving out of state? SERIOUSLY
