Aunt Sarah....

So this post is in honor of Aunt Sarah! The Dress Sophie is wearing and the Shirt Drew is wearing are from her. The dress is a little big but hopefully she will be able to wear it for a long time to come.

This is Sophie with the extra large Flower on her head. She was all smiles this morning... must have been the dress!

This is a shot of the adorable ballet slipper tights I found at Old Navy Outlet in Park City last weekend.

Sophie likes them too!

This is a great shot, you usually see this face when she is standing on your lap and leaning in trying to eat your face. Do you think this is an expression we will see in a future tantrum? Oh....I hope not!

Drew used to love getting his picture taken now he cant be bothered. However when he decides its ok below is the "cheeser" you get.

Thanks for my Halloween Shirt Grandma Purvis.

Thanks Grandma Purvis!

Below are a couple of photos of Drew. As you can see, he thinks he can do everything Sis can do. He is having a hard time understanding why he cant play with all of her toys too.

Park City Weekend!

The whole Bill Hogan Family went to Park City this weekend to stay at Bill & Jill's time share. We have been doing this since I was in grade school maybe 1985..... Anyway we always have a good time. I have really enjoyed sharing the tradition with my husband and kids. Admittedly it is getting smaller every year the condo that is. Thank goodness Brent and Mary decided to get one for the same week or else I am afraid we would have been sleeping on the floor. However after staying in those beds the floor might have been better! I remembered to bring my camera although the new battery I thought I put in it only lasted a couple of minutes before it died so the following pictures were all I got for the whole weekend. =(

All this kids have such cute smiles... I love Cody's in this pic.

I love Drew's face in this pic. He did not want to take pictures so this was his "cheeser".

I was so mad about my camera, at least I got a couple.... Tiffany came up with this craft to do with the kids. They all got to paint their pumpkins and Tiff made all their names out of vinyl. They turned out so cute. I wish I would have got a photo of all of them finished. We also learned how to make Pies from Mary,Tiff also had a craft for all the women to do wood blocks with a metal family square on them. Tab showed us how to make a delicious Fall Harvest Stew and my Mom had us make flannel boards. It was a great weekend. I look forward to many more! If you are wondering what I shared with the family... my craft was by proxy the pumpkin painting.

COMPARE & CONTRAST

Drew 5 Months, Funny at the time I did not think he was so big. But to look back now and compare to Sophie he was gigantore (sp?)!




Sophie 5 months, She is not a large has her brother at this age, and it looks as if Drew might have been sitting on his own... Which Soph is not, I really need to do better with tummy time!


I was just looking through some old photos and thought it would be fun to put photos of the two at the same age. When Soph was first born she looked Identiacal to Drew, let me see if I can find a couple of photos.

Sophie mins. Old & Drew mins. Old

Awe.... Memories. I'm guessing that most newborns in the same family look alike. Its just so fun seeing how they change and become their own little person.

Sis' Seat!

I decided to buy a Bumbo for Sophie, I thought it would be a different kind of apparatus I could put in the rotation so she would be able to sit up by herself and get a different perspective! She seems to like it but the Jury is still out. However I do know one person who loves it!

For some reason Drew thinks its a potty chair.... I guess that is what's on his brain these days.

Drew has been doing so well potty training, we have even gone out a couple of times. Tomorrow will the the true test. I am going to SLC with my Mom... We will be gone for hours, not sure if I sh0uld put a pull up on him for the ride into SLC or what. This shall be interesting! My Dad had Drew Sunday helping him with the Cows he had got so busy that Drew had a #1 and #2 accident and started pulling poop pebbles out of his pants to show Grandpa. That was about the time Grandpa decided Drew was done helping.

I was trying to get some work done on my computer when I heard both Drew and Sophie giggling I turned around to see Drew pushing and pulling Sophie in her swing. Its hard to tell Drew to get out of her face or leave her alone when she is loving every minute of it. I think it has finally sunk in that Sophie is here to stay and Drew is fine with that. He Loves his Sis and she Adore's him.
