Sonja is One!

 My sweet baby girl turns one tomorrow!  Since we don't have any family out here in Wisconsin we decided to throw a little party for her with some friends.  Sonja didn't really know what was going on and had no interest in opening presents but she definitely had fun.  Especially when she got to eat her cake!

Look at that "cheese" face.  I love it!

Chris and I got her a stroller for her birthday.  She isn't quite walking on her own but loves to walk and push things around.  I didn't take a picture but Drake picked his own present out for her and decided to get her a Rapunzel barbie.  He is such a cute big brother!

Sonja has attached to her little pink elephant (Elie) blanket so we thought we would do the cake after that.  Chris and I worked as a team doing this. I baked and Chris decorated.

So much pink.  Unfortunately, I think Sonja's favorite color is pink.  So other than her Elie cake we frosted an extra cake and some cinnamon rolls with pink.

 CAKE TIME!

 Do you think she enjoyed eating the cake????  Haha!

I don't know why I didn't get more pictures of everyone at the party.  I struggle!  Anyways, here is Drake and a bunch of his friends that were at the party.  We invited 4 families to the party.  We are so lucky to have such great and supportive friends out here!

Happy Birthday sweet Sonja!  You have such a fun and quirky personality already, I can't wait to see what you are going to do/be like in the year to come.

Super Hero's!

 Drake absolutely LOVES super hero's right now.  He is always pretending to be one super hero or another.  He varies between Spider-man, Batman, and Flash.  He then assigns all of us a super hero or villain to be.  I usually am Poison Ivy or Cat-woman, Sonja is always Wonder Woman, and Chris varies between Superman, Captain American, The Top or the turtle (both villains in Flash).  So Chris and I decided to make his room more fun with some super hero logos.  Chris traced all of these on canvas and then we painted them.  It was kind of fun to make but I am glad I had Chris there to help me!  We also made a Wonder Woman one to put up over Sonja's crib.

 

It's Oficially Fall

 Well, I think it is officially fall here.  I love this time of year but I am sad that the warm weather is gone.  Some of these pics are of us playing outside on one of the last hot days here. But now we are starting to get bundled up and craving hot chocolate and pear pie.  Yum!

My beautiful baby!

Dancing

Drake was so excited to get to wear his fireman boots and jacket!

wrestling.  I am pretty sure Drake is going to make sure Sonja is one tough little girl.

First Day of School!!!

Today was Drake's first day of preschool.  Man, was he excited!  Although he was bummed that a school bus wasn't going to take him.  I told him maybe in a couple years his school will have a bus that will take him, but he didn't really like that answer.  Haha.  He is so ready for school!  The first question he asked his teacher was what they were going to learn.  And his teacher's name is Miss Carla which Drake loves because that must mean she loves cars (I love how kids minds work!).  Crazy that I have a kid in preschool, he definitely isn't my baby any more.  Good thing I have Sonja to fill that void for me!

Look at that Face!

 Look at miss Sonja's messy face!  She LOVES food but man can she make a mess.  Good thing it is so cute!

Drake and Sonja being silly.

Rest time!!!
