Story Hour

Today I started taking Sophie back to the library for story hour since it is getting cooler out.  They had firefighters there for a special guest, but they freaked Sophie out and we had to go look at books and movies during that time.  After they left she was much better, but she kept saying, "I was scared of the firefighters."  At the end, she got to make a firemen's hat and we ended up having a good time at story hour.

Trick or Treat

We were just going to dress Sophie up as a cheerleader this year for Halloween, since she already has a cheerleading outfit, but she kept saying she wanted to be a princess.  I went online to look for costumes/ideas and decided to make a costume for her since costumes can get pretty pricey.

 Below is a costume that I used for inspiration when creating Sophie's.  I found it on the Family Fun website.

Below is a picture of Sophie in my creation of a princess costume.  She loves it and it was so cute to see her dancing around in it!  She was ready to go trick-or-treating tonight!

Baby Girl #2

We cannot believe we have been blessed with another healthy baby girl!  She'll be here before we know it too.  We are all so excited and Sophie is going to be such a great big sister.  Two girls, we can't believe it!  

Spearfish Canyon

Last Thursday we left Gillette and headed for the Black Hills of South Dakota to stay in a cabin in Spearfish Canyon.  We had so much fun together.  We took Sophie to a couple of the waterfalls in the canyon and she absolutely loved them.  She wanted to see more waterfalls!  The leaves were beautiful and definitely got you in the mood for Fall.

The reason we decided to take this little mini vacation was to go to Spearfish to see our good friend Scott Simmons as he was in town for a Wesleyan Youth Convention.  It was so great to see him and catch up.  Sophie instantly became attached and keeps wanting to know where Scott is and what he's doing.

Here are a few pictures from our trip.
