Where has May Gone?!

This month has been so busy and will be busy until the very end of the month!  We got to celebrate Sophie's 2nd birthday this month.  We had such a fun time celebrating.  She got a gift card to Kmart and had so much fun going to pick out a baby!

Her big present was a climber!  She loves it!  We put it together the weekend before her birthday and good thing because it has been so rainy here, she has only been able to play on it a few times.

On Mother's Day we went to church and then picked up lunch for a picnic in the park.  It was so nice that day.

Sophie had to take her new baby of course!

 May 12th was Sophie's birthday!

We took her to lunch at Pizza Hut with her buddy Cameron.

That afternoon our friends Mike and Liz arrived and we had dinner and birthday cake!

On the Tuesday after Sophie's birthday, Mimi came for a visit!

We took her over to Bear Country USA in Rapid City, South Dakota.  It was so much fun!

A bear got on our car while driving through the park.  It was crazy!  Sophie keeps talking about it!

Funny Little Talkative Girl

So Sophie has been saying a lot more lately and putting sentences together a lot more often.  Here are some of the little funny things she says/does:

Sophie will fall down and say, "I fall down."  And I'll say, "you feel down?"  She'll reply, "uh huh, I did."

She'll be looking for something like her baby and go around the house saying, "Baby, Baaaabyyyy."  It's so funny.  She also has done this while looking for a flashlight.

I have a done a little redecorating and rearranging around the house recently and she'll go into a room and say "Niiiice."

She also has an odd fascination with her toes and will look in between them and say "nice."

She has also tried to scare me a couple of times and I just laugh at her peeking around the corner and saying hi.  Sometimes when we arrive somewhere and I open her door, she'll say, "Boo!" and laugh.

She's so funny and I see so much of Travis' personality in her.

Easter and Travis' Graduation

On the Tuesday before Easter we dyed Easter eggs together.  Sophie had a lot of fun doing this and would have loved to do more.  I'm pretty sure there was a crack in every egg, but of well, she had fun!

On Easter Sunday we were all dressed up for church.

After church we went to the Morgan's house for lunch and an egg hunt.  Sophie really had fun hunting for eggs.We let her hunt the eggs we dyed at our house.

This past Sunday, Travis received his Masters of Ministry from Pacific Evangelical School of Ministry in Portland, Oregon.  People from the school came to our church to give him his diploma and hood him.  It was such a nice thing for them to do! He has been going to Portland for the past 3 years, every other month!  We are so proud of him and his accomplishments and so glad he is finished!
