Slacker

one of S's Christmas presents was a slackline from her AZ cousins Joey and Nick.. she did pretty good for her first time... and we saw a video with a dog on a slackline, but she couldn't talk Halley into it....
arms out

Five steps was the max today

C'mon Halley, on the slackline!

Christmas 2012

Halley, take your present outside!

Is there anything else in this stocking?

The scooter
And a scooter for her doll, just like Aunt Lollie's

Three French hens, two turtle dogs, and a large po-o-o-e-tryyyy!


Sophia: Does it ever snow in Florida?
Mom: Yes, it has.
Sophia: How much?
Mom: Not much.
Sophia: Yes, but how much?
Mom: I don't know baby; I wasn't here. It was a long time ago.
Sophia: Before the dinosaurs died?

Sophia singing in the backseat of the car:
Three French hens, two turtle dogs, 
and a large po-o-o-e-tryyyy!

Sophia: I’m glad I wasn’t a kid in the old times because it snowed a lot. And they didn’t have tv’s or iPods and there were no toys and you had to just play in the snow and read books.
Mom: But you like books.
Sophia: Yes, but guess what? The first toy there was was a doll. And that was the only toy that they made in the old times.

Hey mom, can I ask you ONE question
What would happen to a spider web if it rained?
What would happen if one day it rained ice cream?
What would happen if a fish got out of the water 
and up on land all by itself?
What kind of an animal can breathe in the water and in the air?
How does a whale sleep?

Mom: I hope you're not chewing on your toes, that's yucky!
Sophia: Nah… not anymore.
• • •
Mom, I know you say you're old and you're a fragile flower, 
but you look young.
• • •
Mom: Is it under there?
Sophia: Underwear? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Looking at pictures on the back of the camera:
This one is kind of blurry, can we throw it away?
(She's going to be a great picture editor some day)

It's that time of year again, another birthday, another studio photo shoot.

Our beautiful girl sure is growing up quickly. She's really all kid now, no baby left (even though she'll always be my baby). xoxo

Introducing President Cameron

Sophia congratulates Cameron on her win.
Loosing the BB International presidency by just two votes was a tough life lesson, but Sophie was very gracious about it.

Ain't no party like a chipmunk party


The debate is on!

Sophie and the five other candidates went head-to-head in the first ever BB International Presidential debate. They traveled room-to-room to deliver their platforms to the little kids, then answered questions for the VPK/Kindergarten students.

Presidential candidates: Sophia, Dallen, Cameron, Bjorn, Emme and Gabriella

VIDEO: Sophie during the debate
 

Sophie's platform, "I will hug my friends when they are sad."
Campaigning (with blazer and cowboy boots in full effect).
As Ms. Alana says, "kissing babies and shaking hands."
Stickers for her consituents, "Vote for Sophia, a great idea!"
I don't think she liked that question.
The big debate.

Sophia for President.
Results are pending a tally of the votes in math class. But we want to wish all of the candidates the best of luck!
