Good News.

So I know I've been bad about posting lately. I notice I post more when I'm taking more pictures....lately I've been bad about taking pictures. Why? My camera is on the fritz! Sometimes it works just fine, and sometimes it doesn't. It's driving me nutty. I think it might be time to get a new camera. It's diffucult though because my camera hasn't officially died. It's hard to buy something expensive when you already have one. At least for me it is. I'm planning another garage sale (so I can have my garage back) in July. The second or third weekend. Not sure which yet. Maybe I'll make enough then to get my camera.....doubtful.
So what is this good news you ask:
Trish is Pregnant! Whooo Hooo. This is really happy news for the family. Mom is getting her 5th grandchild. Right when we thought that Tammy was catching up! I so wanted Trish to have the next baby so it was good for me too! I was terrified I would accidently get pregnant before Trish and dreaded telling her! Now it's no more worries! So now Katie is due in January and Trish is due in Febuary. Who wants March? Anyone? What no takers? (in the back of the room sits Jeff praying it won't be us)
Jeff got a book from a friend at work about how to get your kid to sleep. This guy has twins and they both take 2 naps a day and sleep all night long. Although I'm very happy for him (ok, only kinda happy) I'd rather not rely on a book to tell me how to take care of my kid! It's not like Sophy NEVER sleeps. She just doesn't take 2 long naps anymore. I wish she did, but it just doesn't happen. She will sleep through the night most nights. I'm still not sure why Jeff thinks this is all such a good idea. Maybe if we had started this from the beginning, but since we haven't...yeah don't think it'll work. After hearing my arguements on this subject he handed it to me and said "well here it is to read when you get the chance" Ummmm, hello, Sophy doens't take two long naps a day and is trying to walk......when do I get a chance to shower let alone read a book? You gotta be kidding me.
Ok that is my rant for the month.
On a totally different note: If you don't watch The 4400, you should! It's awesome!

And We're Back!

We've been gone for Two weeks! Vacation you ask? Well....kinda. Jeff had to go to Shreveport and I tagged along. Jeff dropped Sophy and I off at Grandma's house in Dallas. Mom, Heather, and Trish came on Thursday and we all went to the Arlington Great American Scrapbook Convention while Grandma watched Sophy. It was so hard to be away from her! At least I wasn't that far away so It wasn't too bad! I was very happy to hold her when we got back though! Sophy was great! Grandma said she was an easy baby. I'm glad she was good for her, but I wish she was that good for me! While at the convention we did a lot of free make and takes and did some great shopping! We went to the friday evening crop and it was like a big party with some scrapping thrown in! We got great goody bags just for going and had a lot of fun. I didn't get alot of work done (too many distractions)but the pages I did turned out great! All in all I highly recommend the Great American Scrapbook Convention to anyone who likes scrapbooking, card making, or stamping.
After the convention Sophy and I stayed another week. Sophy LOVED to play with her cousin Hana. They were so cute. Hana apperantly likes to ride like a horse on her brother's back. She would see Sophy crawling across the floor and assume it was an invitation. Before we knew it Hana would stradle Sophy and sit down on her back, at this point Sophy's arms and Legs would go shooting out from under her and there they both would be on the floor. Sophy looking at me like "help?" and Hana bouncy like "why won't it go?". It was very funny. I'm happy for Sophy that she's going to have so many cousins and second cousins so close to her age to play with as she grows up!
We also spent a couple afternoons up at Grandma's office. It was a chance to get out of the house, check my email, etc. Sophy made an uneffective and very cute receptionist for Mastersound. All in all it was a good trip and we are very glad to be home again.
Oh yeah...Sophy cut another tooth. That makes two now. If only she could cut a tooth AND let us get some sleep......that would be great!

Garage Sale!

So this is how my Garage looked this morning.....It's a little more empty tonight. I did go through the house and add some more stuff though. Handbags and organizers and such. Anyway I thought I would officially let everyone know that it went well. No annoying neighbors showed up to ruin my day. Sophy was a bit of a handful during the goings on though. I do agree with whoever said that during the neighborhood sale was the worst time to have a garage sale. People would come by and then decide "hmm, maybe there's something better next door...." And off they'd go. We still did ok though. Just not as good as the last two I've been apart of (wink wink Jen). Jen came by with Ty. She's looking so cute these days with her Baby bump. And I'd have to say Ty was one of the best behaved of the children that came by. Trish brought a lot of stuff over for the sale so I got to spend most of the day with her. It was nice we don't get to do a lot of one on one things anymore. She's also super great with Sophy so that helps too. Jessica brought over her couch to sell and she came by to help around lunch time. We just had a giant picnic on the floor of the garage. She sold her couch at the end of the day for more than either Trish or I made all day! I thought that was awful lucky....or just good salesmenship! Anyway everyone come by and see me tommorrow. Hopefully Jeff will be keeping Sophy inside so that she won't be hanging all over me! Hee hee.

Fun New Pictures.

So......I just thought I'd share some fun pictures with you. Also Sophy Got a tooth! Finally. It came in on Monday. So She barely got it in before she hit 10 months! Way to go Sophy!There is an excellent picture of my father giving Sophy an ice cream cone out there. As soon as I get a copy I hope to add it here too. Leave it to my dad to give her that! * Note: The first picture is of Mom Kissing a pirate! Watch out dad! The second one is of Sophy riding a BMW Bike! Doesn't she look good? Now that will be the last time she's allowed on a motorcycle! The third one is of mom and Sophy in Hot Springs. Who looks more tired and Hot?
