You guessed it...more pictures of the girls!

On Sunday after church. Daddy had changed Sophie out of her Sunday dress, but I guess she still wanted to wear her sunday shoes.

We went to the zoo this last weekend, since the weather was so nice. We tried out the platform option on our stroller and Sophie really liked it! She could either stand on the platform or sit and face whoever is pushing it.

"Who dat?" One of Sophie's new favorite phrases

We ran into one of Sophie's best friends, Hannah, and her dad.

Sorry, I don't know why this picture came out sideways. You'll just have to turn your heads to see Elsie's cute smile.

Hide and Seek

Mike's newest creation. Enjoy!

Our girls

"Cheese!"

Off to school with her Elmo backpack

The girls spent a fun morning playing with blocks with Daddy while I went to the dentist and the grocery store. First, he built a bridge over Sophie. Then, Sophie helped build a bridge over Elsie. I don't know how he comes up with these things!

Sophie and her friend Sarah

Mom, it looks like we might have another piano player on our hands!

What better way to waste time than to post more pictures!

You should see my house! It is like a tornado blew through here! And yet, here I am. Sophie is still sleeping, Elsie is content in her bouncy chair, and instead of cleaning, I am downloading some more pictures onto our blog for all of our faithful readers. That is how much I love you all!

What a pretty smile, don't you think?

Sophie (and I) thought Daddy was just going to take a picture of Sophie, but he was actually taking a video. Sophie was all ready with her "Cheese!"

Already trying to be like her big sister!

Sophie has been a thumb-sucker since she was about 3 months old, and Elsie must think it's pretty cool because she's already giving it a try!

(Sorry about my dumb commentary!)

Check out JJ Heller

I heard about this great Christian singer, JJ Heller, from my friend Liz's blog. If you go to her website, you can download her newest CD for free until November 1!

It is really great...I highly recommend it! Just click here: JJ Heller

We're going to attempt Elsie's 6 week pictures this morning. Hopefully she isn't fussy! Mike has been singing to her this morning, and she definitely smiled a couple of times. Come on, who wouldn't smile at Mike's singing!

Have a great Saturday!!!

It's hard to see because the picture is cut off, but did you notice that the 5th celebrity that I look like is that guy from Jurassic Park? Pretty cool, huh?

Happy birthday to me and happy dedication to Elsie!

Saturday was my birthday, and Mike and the girls treated me to a very nice weekend! We went to an airplane show on Saturday morning (Sophie wore her "future pilot" shirt!) She loved to look at the airplanes, almost as much as her daddy!

On Friday night, while I was out at dinner with some girls from Sunday School and Sophie was in the nursery at church, Mike and Elsie made me a cake!! It had 3 layers and everything! Sophie helped Mike with the decorating!

What beautiful layers! I think Mike has found his new calling!


This was taken after the baby dedication service.

Sophie loves the new sleep mat that Grandma made her to take to school on Thursdays! (We enrolled Sophie in a "mother's day out" program at church. I figured that it was just going to be like day care, but they teach the kids things like colors and letters, so we call it school. Although I think Sophie is way to little to be in school yet!). Sophie is very excited to take her new sleep mat to school this week!

Sophie's adventure at the park

We went to the park tonight, and Sophie went crazy!!!!! Here are a couple of pictures from the slide.

Oklahoma State Fair

Apparently, the Oklahoma State Fair is the thing to do around here in September. We've lived here for about 7 years and have never gone until this year! Sophie really liked all the animals. She got to see horses, (smelly) cows, baby chicks, pigs, and goats. She was a little scared of the ostrich in the petting zoo (she must get that from you, Grandma!). She mostly just had fun running around with her dad chasing her!

Mike is hoping that Elsie will be a Nascar fan like her father. She doesn't look to excited, but that's probably because Dale Jr.'s car wasn't in the auto show!

Here's the tough, macho Navy pilot with his vanilla ice cream cone with sprinkles!
