Family Photos

Almost a month ago my sister and her family came into town. She just had a little baby girl. We thought it would be fun to get pictures taken for my parents 30th anniversary (I mean birthday, hehe). My friend Melanie Toutai is a photographer so I knew she would be able to do the pictures. Can I just say we all are so happy with them. The pictures are so cute and amazing! Payton is almost 3, Scarlett is 6 months, and Sofia is 6 weeks. Since we took these pictures Sofia is smiling now and Scarlett is all over the place. Mostly just army crawling but she can go from sitting up to her stomach and then from her stomach to sitting up. I just can't believe how fast these kids keep growing and changing.

St George Trip

I feel like we are constantly seeing my family lately! I LOVE it! We went to St George and were able to go and see the blessing of Sofia. We had such a nice time. We were all together minus my brother Josh whom is on a mission in Paraguay. It was a very nice trip. 

Dawson, Stef and Sofia

A very proud mom!!

A very proud dad!

Sofia ready for her big day!

Grandma loving on Scarlett. Scarlett is really not big with cuddling, but she let grandma!

Very tired from her big day  

Payton loved playing guitar hero with his uncles, dad, and grandpa. He is so good!

Me being the aunt that I am, I made sure that Sofia got bumbo time since her parents think she is too little. She actually didn't seem to hate it.

Payton loved being the oldest cousin. He really loves his baby cousin Sofia

Payton loves Max! Max doesn't so much love Payton. 

As you can see Payton always wants to love Max and Max just tolerates it!

We all got to go swimming. This was Sofia's first swim! 

Sofia loved the water!!! She just floated around until she got cold

Scarlett LOVED the water. She splashed and splashed and didn't care that she kept getting herself in the face.

These are very cute little cousins.

Payton with his Uncle Danny! They are both silly!

Uncle Danny with Payton, Scarlett and Sofia.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture! Sofia is only 6 weeks old. She wasn't really good at smiling while we were there, but of course I was able to get this really cute picture of her. 

She loves her Auntie Mal!

Payton, Scarlett and Sofia

Scarlett even wanted to get in on the guitar hero!

Payton always wanted to hold Sofia. She tolerated him!

While we were at Stef and Dawson's house they had cub scouts at their house. They had 3 little boys and of course Payton wanted to join in with them. They built these airplanes and painted them. Payton loved cub scouts.

Loved painting his airplane. He thought it was awesome!

He's very into his painting.

The drive home was really long and a little too much for me, so we had to stop and get out and eat. We went to In-N-out. Payton knows his uncle Danny works at In-N-out so every time he sees one he asks if uncle Danny works there. He is just a smart little boy. He loved his hat and stickers he got from the cashier.

Our special visitors

This past weekend we had some amazing visitors! My sister, my brother in law, and my new niece. We are so glad they came to visit. I know they mostly came so Sofia could meet her great grandma's, but we are so glad they came.  We had such a nice time with them. Sofia is so cute and a beautiful baby girl. She is 6 weeks old and about 11 lbs. Stef and I have decided that Scarlett and Sofia are going to be the bestest of cousins since they are only about 4 months apart. They look nothing alike! Sofia has so much hair and is still skinny, Scarlett on the other hand is way bald and chunky! Payton just loved Sofia. He knew she was coming and was excited to meet his new baby cousin. He always wanted to hold her and he thought it was so fun when he got to hold both the baby girls at the same time. He is such a big boy. I just hope these girls are not too mean to him when they get older.

Sofia!

Payton meeting Sofia for the first time!

She is just such a cute girl!

Scarlett and Sofia are both so lucky to have both their great grandmas!

This is Scarlett and Sofia hanging out in the jogging stroller while Dawson took them for a jog. They were so good and enjoyed being outside.

After soccer we went and got some food. Scarlett had a fun time getting Sofia's feet.

Sofia so cute!
