Baby Sophie Is Here!

What a Crazy and Eventful Day! As you know from my previous post that Hayley was in the hospital on my b-day! While Nate and I were out celebrating a birthday dinner we received the phone call that Baby Sophie is here! Oh my gosh, I was so excited. So we quickly finished eating, ran home and got the girls from the babysitter and headed over to the hospital to see our new little niece and cousin. She is absolutely the cutest, sweetest little girl and we have the same birthday. What a great birthday present to get to hold at the end of my day. We love you so much Sophie and are glad that you are safely here.

It's My Birthday!!

Brooklynn is 29!! Too close to 30, scary. My sister Hayley is pregnant and due on my b-day the 26th so we celebrated on Sunday with the family. Mom made enchiladas, Spanish rice, and corn for dinner and we had carrot cake (my favorite) for desert, and played some games and opened presents. I was in desperate need of some Sunday dresses so mom hooked me up in that area. It was fun having the whole family together to celebrate. Thanks for such a fun party everyone.

November 26th
Today for my birthday lunch I got to have a Thanksgiving Feast with Addi,& Kylie at Challenger. We had the whole works, turkey, stuffing, potatoes & gravy, and a piece of pumpkin cake. It was so yummy and fun to have lunch with the girls.




After our feast we got a phone call from my mom saying that Hayley was in the hospital and dilated to 5 cm. Baby Sophie and I are going to have the same b-day!! Crazy huh, and we all know who is going to get more attention!! (ha,ha)

Sleepover?

Addison & her friend Carly

Yes, you read the caption right I let Addi have her first Sleepover with a friend. It was so much fun. I picked up both the girls from school and they played and played. Then we had hot dogs and mac& cheese for dinner, watched a movie with some popcorn and Halloween candy, and then the girls went to bed at 9:30 and woke up the next morning around 8:30. Carly was such a well mannered little girl and was so nice to Addi and her little sister Kylie. So, I would definitely let Addi have another sleepover.


They even let little sister sleep in her sleeping bag with them. So nice!

I have the Smartest Girls

My little Laycee is walking everywhere and has now tasted a rib cooked from Grandpa Hopkin and now has a new "Love." As you can see she cleans it right to the bone!


Kylie bug received her blending badge today. Which means that she can blend two letters together and now start reading more difficult books. Way to go Kylie!


Addison received a Bronze metal today for getting 10 100% on her math tests, Wahoo!! Her next 10 she will receive silver, than gold. She gets the opportunity to earn metals for math, spelling, & assessment tests. Pretty Cool.

PUMPKINS

Every year at Challenger they have a pumpkin decorating contest. So Addi decorated this little pumpkin for 4 days. It turned out so cute and she thought for sure she would win this year. Unfortunately there was a better one. She was so disappointed!

Adult Halloween Party!

Every Halloween we have an adult Halloween party. This year my sister Hayley and her husband Shawn hosted the party at their home. We all came dressed up and she served us some yummy soup in a pumpkin bread bowl, we carved our pumpkins (I won for the best carved pumpkin & got a pumpkin full of pumpkin cookies), and then had a costume contest and received metals. We all brought our favorite halloween treat and enjoyed each others company. Thanks Hayley & Shawn for such a fun night!
