8 months

8 months old and...

*Rolling all over the house
*Army crawling & scooting wherever you want to get
*Taking a sippy cup like a pro
*Trying to pull up...yikes!
*Getting your 2nd tooth
*Wanting to eat everything that we eat...and getting mad when we don't let you
*Saying dada & flirting big time with him...which I can't say I blame you :)

You are so much fun & changing so quickly. Love you bunches Soph (or my little chunker, as Leighton calls you).

Favorite Subject

Conversation with Brecken this morning.

Me: Are you still liking school, Boo?
B: Yeah.
Me: What's your favorite thing about school?
B: Recess.
Me: What's your favorite subject?
B: Huh?
Me: Ya know, what's your favorite thing to learn about? Reading? Math?
B: Jesus.

May this always be the truth :)

6!

Last week, I was tucking Brecken in at bedtime & I said, "I better have another hug. I only get to hug my 5 year old for 5 more nights." I then went over to tuck Leighton in & heard Brecken sniffling. When asked what was wrong, his reply was, "How come you will only give me hugs for 5 more nights?" I quickly explained that I would THEN be hugging my 6 year old, not my 5 year old anymore. He sighed with relief & said,"Oh, ok!"

Don't blink...is so true. 6 years have gone by more quickly than I could have ever imagined. Love this big boy!

Eat them up...

Last year, we worked hard at getting the boys to correctly say K-S-U...many times it came out as K-U-S...or just K-U...which, quite honestly, was painful. This year, they have it mastered.

Thankfully, Zoe caught on a little earlier than the boys did...she frequently goes through the house doing her Wildcat cheer.

Strong woman competition...

This...


went to this...in a matter of seconds.

The peanut lifted 75% of her weight...and in true 'Strong Man' form, she just dropped the weight after she 'got' the lift.

It's a good thing mommy is as quick with a catch as she is with the camera...or poor Soph would have had a nice fall.

Zoe's got a gun...

As we were getting ready for bed, I heard one of the boys guns 'firing'...I went to investigate & found Zoe like this...



I asked her what she was doing...

Her reply, "Dere's a moth up dere..."

I feel safe knowing she's going to protect us even from moth invaders...
