Bugs....


 Sophie just loves these chairs....she can just chill on it forever...okay more like 2-5 minutes then she has to move on and get into other trouble!
 And...for your half time entertainment......we've been training a new TRICK RIDER!  haha
I totally caught Bugaboos doing this, of course it took a good 45 minutes to get her to do it again for a picture.  She thought she was pretty cool.  She even kept trying to rock the horse as she was standing up!  A new rodeo act??? I DO BELIEVE SO!  haha

Here we go again...


 Well we were officially home for 1 week before we loaded up and headed back to Utah for a few days. Too much driving in too little time if you ask me, but I do love getting back to Utah! =)  Of course our little angel spent her week making messes, sassing, and getting into lots of trouble.  She even held of walking until we went back to Utah so Alex STILL missed her first steps!  So a few milestones of our baby girl, I've been bad about documenting them.  She now officially walks as of March 10th..ish.  Her and Bowdee man both get a few steps in before falling to the floor.  Bowdee, of course, is hightailing it better than Sophie, but before long they will both be EVERYWHERE!!  Sophie is now up to around 10 steps and getting better and better each day!  She loves her treats....ANY kind of treat!  She could eat all day long.  She learned how to drink out of a straw....which resulted in her first taste of pepsi!  She is just like her mommy and quite enjoyed it, her daddy isn't to thrilled about that.  She is started teething AGAIN, working on her top two front teeth.  The teeth are taking their sweet time, making her a very moody little one.  She really picked up on waving goodbye, especially when we would say goodnight to everyone.  She shakes her head from side to side saying no no no no, and sometimes even shakes her finger at you at the same time.  She definitely back talks, but it is still super cute! (it wont be in a year or so I am sure)  She walks around on her knees ALOT!  It is the cutest thing, it is almost like a skip on her knees.  She LOVES playing with all her cousins, I am not sure how much she likes home because they are not here! =) Her most recent Bugaboos habit is holding her binki off to the side of her mouth(which she has always done), while sticking her tongue out the other side of her mouth!  I am trying really hard to snap a picture of it, but so far NO luck!  Anyway, on the the good stuff....snapshots for the past couple of weeks.......
 The weather in Utah was so nice that the some of the kiddos and I took a walk!  The top funny story from the walk was those two little ones stuck in the stroller.  Bowdee man, being a typical man, stuck his thumb in his mouth and dozed off.....all of the sudden he starts freaking out.  So I stopped and went around to the front of the stroller to see what was wrong.  Sophie Bugs, being a typical girl, couldn't hold still and was trying to sit up, using Bowdee's face as leverage for her elbow to push up! =)  Poor little Bowdee man.
 Bugaboos fell in love with the girls' little toy strollers! Between them and Mac's little walking toy, Sophie learned to navigate around mom and dad's house really well.
 These two little rugrats remained the double trouble kind.  They follow each other around finding any kind of mischief they can to get in to!
 I just love my bugs....
 We had been watching the 2nd video I had put together of Bugaboo's before this picture was snapped. Miss Brooke got upset because "this video is like all about Sophie....it's like....Sophie is the star!" Imagine that quote with a little attitude! haha SO we snapped this picture for the blog and the next video.
 Bugaboos having a little cuddle time with Tifferdoodle!

Tifferdoodle and I made a couple of pies!  And this one sure enjoyed them!

Steph and her kiddos, along with me and Bugs, took a walk to the park on a sunny day!  Her little family!
Bugaboos had fallen asleep on the walk so I woke her up to play....it took awhile for her to get happy.  GRUMPY!!
She didn't like the swing at all!  At lease until she figured out Bowdee was swinging next to her and he wasn't crying! =)
The kiddos and I!
She went down the slide with Cals a couple of times and me a couple of times.  She began to enjoy it!
These two just make me SMILE!! =)

The park tuckered this one out!  Tessa and Chad came for a visit and it was rather late, so I told T she could wake Sophie up!  Well.....
...she tried to....but as you can see Bugs didn't want to wake up! =)

... and we had to return home!

Some quick shots...


These first few are from our Utah trip in Jan./Feb.!
 Spaghetti Night!! =)
 Bugaboos and Grandpa!
 Callie Jo still has the touch to get the little ones to fall asleep!
This shot is from we got home!  I got a picture of Bugaboos standing all by herself!  I've been trying to get this shot for a while now! =)  I love that she does this!  She has also started to play peek a boo when she is behind an object.  She is still, whenever she feels like it, giving hi five and sometimes kisses!  She claps and expects everyone around her to follow suit!  She talks up a storm and even back talks some!  ( we are in for it when she gets bigger!  And this little bugger will be 11 months......ELEVEN MONTHS OLD this week! Where has the time gone?!?!?!

Finally!!


 TO start with Sophie bugs got a gift from some of her Robertson Clan that lives in Cali.....it included this plush doggie.  She LOVES IT!!  They even took a ride together! =)
And....FINALLY this little rugrat is getting another tooth.  You can barely barely BARELY see it poking through the gums, but by the time you all see her next she will be sporting her top left shiny white tooth!  Haha she is going to be a biter just like her cousin Cowbowdee! =)  Note: Grandma Cheryl bought her this cute long sleeved Wrangler onesie...Ranch Princess? I do believe so!

Play Date!


Bugaboos found her best friend up here in Oregon!  Tucson has gotten so big and is such a gentleman with her.  It is so cute to watch them play together!  (of course, keeping true to being little kids, they are fighting over toys and treats! )  =)

Our Utah trip!


Sophie Bugs and I had SOOOO much fun it Utah!  We are so grateful for such an AWESOME family!!!  Lots happened while we were there....
 These two became fast friends...again! haha  I think Sophie Anne learned a thing or two from all of the kids.....it was good for her to hang with all her Aunties and cousins.....of course Gramps and Grams too and all the other family members!
 Trayson entertained Sophie Bugs a lot!  This round was him playing the toy and singing...or doing something (not sure it would be called singing), she was just smiling away, giggling, and trying to dance! ( I say trying because.....well have you people ever seen her mom and dad dance??? yeah it isn't pretty! )

 Grandpa Terry had a wonderful night of being absolutely pampered by all his little rugrats!!
 As you can see he got his hair done as well as his nails!
 It originally started out with Brooke, Callie Jo, and Kayslee taking care of Grandpas grooming....but as soon as a spot opened up Sophie Bugs jumped right in! =)

 These two little rugrats gave us all a run for our money when it came to dealing with twins!  Because, sometimes I swear we got a taste of what having twins would be like!  NOT FUN RIGHT! ;)  A few fun moments: Trying to feed them both bananas at the same time, YEAH try that with two soon to be toddlers standing up to you and crawling all over you.  Stephanie got to experience them both screaming there little lungs out....she was babytending for me, when she needed to go to the bathroom.  So she stuck BowdeeMan and Sophie Bugs in the crib and when she came back they were both screaming their heads off as they stood up to the side of the crib....and had snotty noses!  haha glad it was her not me!  As I mentioned before whatever BowdeeMan would do Sophie Bugs needed to do!  A lot of time was spent getting THESE two out of trouble.  They would play together, fight together, whine together, and be mean to each other...together! hahaha Oh I am sure Sophie Bugs is just missing him and all of the other kids right now!(we've been home less than 24 hours, and we are both having withdrawals!! )
 Sophie Bugs celebrated her first Valentine's Day!  She got a new sippy cup and treats from her mom and dad!  She wasn't tooo excited as you can see!
 The card was the best part I guess! =)

 An example of DOULBE TROUBLE!!!  This little man has been opening cupboards for awhile before he introduced Sophie Bugs to it!  Haha two peas in a pod these two!

Well that was all the pictures I managed to take while down in Utah....you all kept me too busy to get too many shots!
