Wood Reunion

We had a really fun weekend. We went to my Stepdads family reunion at Camp Lomia in Logan Canyon. This was our first attempt at camping with 2 kids. Yes I said camping!!! It was my kind of camping with bathrooms and showers! We survived. The girls both did very well. Sophie loved to sleep in the tent in her sleeping bag. On Saturday Bodi went golfing while my Mom and I took the kids to Bear Lake to go swimming. We had a great time being together as a family!

Happy Fathers Day!

I just wanted to post a little bit about my Husband on this Fathers Day. He is such a great Daddy to our two little girls! He is always playing with them and making them laugh. He is so great with them because I don't worry about how they are when they are with him. I am so grateful for him and all that he does for us!

We love our Dads and we are thankful that we have such great Fathers in our lives!

Taking the Train

Sophie has been so excited to ride the new train. The Front Runner is the new commuter train that has a station a few blocks from our house. We took the train tonight up to Ogden for dinner with our friends the Crowley. Sophie loved it! She kept telling me how much fun she was having. I am glad that the little things still make her happy!

Neigborhood Fun Run

Today was our wards annual fun run. Bodi and I are on the activities committee so we didn't get to run (darn!) My Mom and sisters came and took the girls on the run. We had a great turn out this year and had a lot of fun!

Which Princess are You?

So I found this survey on another blog and thought it was fun! I happen to be Princess Jasmine: Independent and adventurous. You don't want much; just to break out of the guilded cage society has put you in and experience life to the fullest. Following orders isn't really one of your strong points, and you would rather live a life of poverty than being forced into something that you hate.
It sounds like me. I wish I had her body!!! Which princess are you?

3 Months

Laynie is 3 months old today! I can't believe it. I remember the time flying by with Sophie but now with 2 kids I feel like it is way too fast! Laynie is getting so big. She is already 11lbs and about 24 inches long. She is cooing non stop and the wiggliest kid I know. She is a very happy baby that loves to play with her toys and go on walks outside. She still looks like Sophie but she now has her own cute look. I love her so much and wish she could stay this cute and innocent forever!

Potty Training!!!

Our house has turned into potty training central! On Saturday I asked Bodi to spend the entire day at home so we could start potty training. ( I recommend having a second adult when you have a little baby) The morning was a mess with lots of accidents. I was in tears and ready to give up. We decided to keep going and try and keep her on the potty as long as possible. We played with her toys, read books, and even watched a movie. After about 5 hours she got it! I am happy to report that she is doing great! It has been 2 days and sh is getting better and better!

Funny Friday

I have been wanting a way to document all the funny things that happen during the week. Sophie is always saying and doing funny things so I decided that on Fridays I would pick my favorites and post them. So here goes.

Bodi loves to eat leftovers for lunch at work, so every night I pack him a Tupperware container full of food. After telling me she was all done with her breakfast, Sophie got down from her chair and got a tupperware container out of the cabinet. Then she dug around for a few minutes till she found the matching lid. she dumped in her leftover french toast and apples, put the lid on and set it by the fridge. I laughed so hard I almost cried. It is amazing the things kids learn by example.

You know how the experts say that you should never leave a toddler unattended with an infant because they might hurt them. Well I can't leave mine unattended because she used her sister as a human art project!

Earings!!!

I guess it is now a tradition in our family for the baby girls to get their ears pierced right after their 2 month checkup. On Saturday my Mom, Sophie and I went to the mall and got Laynies ears pierced. Doesn't she look so cute!

A Great Day to be a Mother!

Happy Mothers Day to all of you Mothers and Mothers-to-be out there! I have had such a wonderful Mothers Day today because we were able to bless Laynie today. It was so fun to get her all dressed up in her beautiful white dress. She sure didn't like the bonnet too well. Bodi did a wonderful job with her blessing. Thank you to all of our family and friends that were able to come and celebrate with us.

I am so thankful for my Mom and all of the things that she has taught me. I am so thankful for my two little angels that have made me a Mom and that is all I have ever wanted to be!

Laynie is 2 Months!

I can't believe that my baby girl is 2 months old! It really has flown by. She is getting so big so fast. I am not used to having a healthy normal baby. She is wearing outfits that Sophie wore when she was 6 months old. She is holding her head up like a big girl and loves to look at her toys. She always melts my heart when she gives me one of her big smiles! I love to watch her look at Sophie every chance she gets. She is so beautiful and I love her so much!

Bye Bye Passy

Sophie is a passy girl. She has been since she was tiny. Everyone told me to take it away when she was 1 but I didn't listen. She has only grown more attached to it in the past 6 months. She wants it all the time, cant sleep without it and i think she really loves it! Well, it has been a very challenging week for Sophie. She was just getting over her chicken pox when we went to Brady's wedding down in Fountain Green. While we were there she lost her passy. Bodi and I decided right there that we were going to put an end to the passy. After a two hour car ride home with begging, pleading and lots of crying we made it home. It took us two more hours to put her to bed that night. We stayed strong and didn't give it to her the next day. We fought with her to take a nap for 3 hours. She cried, screamed, and worked herself up a real good fit. We finally gave up on the nap and let her play. She may be a stubborn little things but I knew that she needed a nap. She fell asleep standing up next to the chair and slept like that for a few hours.

She really has been a good girl through the whole thing. She is still looking for it everywhere we go but I think we have made it through the hard stuff.

Brady and Taras Wedding

Yet another wedding in the last two weeks! This time Bodi's brother Brady got married to Tara. They make the perfect couple and we are so happy for them! They had a beautiful wedding and reception at Tara's family cabin in Fountain Green. Congratulations guys!

All Better!

Just an update on the chicken pox. We are all better and so far Laynie is staying healthy!
