Book Signing

Last night we went to a book signing/author talk for one of our favorite authors Brad Meltzer. This is the 2nd time we have met him and I have to say he is a class act. Even though we were in the C group (which means he had already been signing for a long time) he took time to talk with us the same as when we were one of the first the last time we met him. He also took the time to comment on how he noticed how quiet and well behaved Brandon and Sophia were during his talk. They of course rocked it out and charmed everyone at Barnes and Noble even though by the time we got our books signed it was after 9pm! So now Brandon and Sophia have 3 books signed by the author. It will be fun for them as they get older. If you've never read any of his books (adult or children) check them out.

Trip to Iowa

Cousins Tate & Harper

 At the end of May/beginning of June we headed to Iowa for cousin Katie's wedding and to introduce Brandon and Sophia to the rest of the family.  They were great travelers and did great meeting lots of people and being away from home. They really enjoyed their cousins and I think the feeling was pretty mutual. :)  While we were there we got the chance to swim, go to the park, watch the cousins play baseball/softball, and found out that Brandon takes after his daddy and LOVES to dance. He was having a great time dancing with Logan's cousin's little girl at the wedding. He would have danced all night if my knees would've been able to hold out! :) Hopefully we will see everyone again soon!

Brandon learns something new

Well, it was bound to happen- last night Brandon pulled himself up to standing on his chair. Oh my! Watch out world our adventurous boy is even more mobile! As you can see he's just a little proud of himself. :)

Now what is not pictured is right after I snapped this Sophia started to pull the chair away because she didn't like that we were giving him all the attention. We are in trouble!!

 Thought I'd just share a bunch of cuteness and pictures that show a bit of their personalities.

Mommy's birthday

On the 8th I turned 38 (yikes-getting old). Logan was off so we had a great relaxing family day of errands, naps/movie and then pizza at our favorite pizza place. We topped the day off with Dairy Queen ice cream cake.  As you can see from the videos and picture my Little Miss Sophia girl loved joining in on the cake. 

Loved the frosting!

The pizza is sooo good!

New Skills

Once again I haven't posted in forever so I'm behind. Eventually I will try to catch up with some official posts but until then I'll share some of the fun going on around here. These videos are of our new crawling skills. Brandon's was taken today and Sophia's a bit ago when she first learned. She wasn't in the mood to be taped today and she is more into her other new skill-sitting up on her own!! The other day I left the room and came back to this. She now goes from laying down/crawling to sitting all the time.  They are getting so big!!
