Just wanted to share...

Well, before the birthday party post, I wanted to share some really great pictures we've been taking of our little Sofie and some of her newest adventures and other just really cute pictures of her.

She is growing and changing so quickly. Each time I see the pictures we've taken and compare them...it's like I'm looking at a different child.


Sofie is really getting such a personality. She is very vocal and wants what she wants, when she wants it (if they makes any sense). I am trying to be patient and discipline her but some of the looks she gives, just melts my heart!

Here is a picture of her at Nonnie and Grandpa's house. It's too cute, they buy her toys just for their house, that way she always has something to play with. Here she is playing with Grandpa and her Elmo plane.

Sofie has already discovered the kitchen. I can't wait until we start cooking together. It's gonna be a blast! I'll have to get her a baby apron and pair of baby kitchen clogs. :O)

A few weeks ago, we went to dinner with our friends and their little girl. We went to this place called "Organ Stop Pizza". It's really an interesting place. There is this huge custom organ that takes up an entire wall. There is one man who plays the organ and choreographs the music to a light show. This man sits in the middle of the restaurant on a stage that comes up from the ground. It was a little reminiscent to the Wizard of Oz...he was like the wizard behind the curtain. He also plays about another dozen or so instruments...a one man band.

Sofie LOVED this place and was fascinated by the sound.

Nick and Ryan were set for the night....The beer was flowing and the glasses were like little baby thimbles. It made the organ bearable! Nick did not even mind the cheap beer either! Sorry, no Guinness at the- "ORGAN STOP PIZZA PARLOR"

As cheesy as it was (no pun intended) we enjoyed ourselves and will probably go back!

That same weekend, Sofie attend Elmo's birthday party held at Border Books. She really enjoyed the book store. That day she was able to play with the books, listening to story time, have some birthday treats and play with the other children.

Here is Sofie playing superheros....she is "SUUUPPPERR SOFIEEEE"

A few weeks ago, Nick and I decided to take a day trip up to Sedona. It was my first time and I was really looking forward to seeing the infamous "red rock". It was amazingly beautiful!

Once we were done checking out Sedona, we decided to take the drive up to Flagstaff. It was such a nice day, seeing the other part of Arizona! It's an amazing state.

I think Nick was secretly missing Minnesota's weather....

We ended our adventure with the most beautiful sunset. The day could not have been better. Don't ask...this one was Nicks finding...
