8 Year Anniversary

Phil planned our celebration this year and he took me here:

You would not believe how many roses there were. It was beautiful and not too far from home. We had the entire basement, back patio and hot tub to ourselves!

Here we are eating breakfast out on the patio:

Happy 8 years to my honey!

My Dad: AKA Bradical

Two big things going on with my dad right now...

He is MARRIED! TJ and my dad were married at the top of Camel's Back at sunrise a few weeks ago. It was so them and perfect. Congratulations!

Also, he is running for legislature! I've been helping with the campaign and its been really fun. The girl he is running against is 25 but is very involved in the community and the head of the North End Neighborhood Association. His experience, work ethic and knowledge of law make him the man for the job, I just hope everyone else realizes it!

My dad's campaign kickoff is tonight and we're hoping for a great turn out. Good luck Dad!

We Really Are Mormon Now...

That's what my hair stylist said when she saw our new van. :)

I never thought I'd drive one but it really is awesome! The automatic sliding doors alone are worth it. I don't have to do anything when I drop off and pick up Sophie from preschool. Just blow a kiss and say, "have fun"!

Behold, our Honda Odyssey:

Baby #3 On the Way!

I'm pregnant! Due September 30th. Yep, that's right. I'll be 8 months pregnant when we move to Mississippi and have a month and a half to find a doctor. Also it will be hot and HUMID when we get there. Fun times!

Don't get me wrong though, we are super excited! Big changes coming for our family. Please think BOY for us. :)

Caitlin at 18 Months

Caitlin turns 18 months today!

Her personality is not what we though it was, that's for sure. We are seeing a very impatient side of her! She is not afraid to show her true feelings and if she gets upset, she will hit or scream.

She can still be super sweet though and always makes friends everywhere we go because she loves people. Loves to smile at them and wave and she'll just walk up to random people and start "talking" to them. I've been trying to get her to do it on video but she won't. She really thinks she is talking to you.

We were at Monkey Bizness the other day and she just walked up to some random lady and wanted her to hold her. Then the husband took a picture of them, it was hilarious!

She still loves books and will sit surrounded by them in her room for a really long time pointing and talking.

Her other favorite thing to do is play with her little bike. She likes to turn the music on and then walk and dance in circles around it. (See video below.)

This is a fun and difficult age but Sophie and Caitlin are starting to play well together (sometimes). We love our girls!
