Easter

The Saturday before Easter we went to Riverside Park for the community Easter Egg Hunt. It's safe to say that it was a zoo! Sophie didn't seem to care though. She got four eggs in her basket and then dropped it and clapped her hands and said "I did it!" She didn't seem to care that the other kids (and some parents!) were continuing to fill their baskets with eggs. We met the Gorhams and Graysons there so Sophie got to see Cousin Wesley. We also ran into Sophie's friend Taylor.

Then on Saturday evening Audri arrived to visit us. She was able to stay three nights with us. On Easter Sunday my mom and Larry came over to join us for lunch. Before lunch we colored eggs but it was too rainy out to do an Easter egg hunt in our backyard.

Sophie is 2!

Sophie is 2! Her Minnie Mouse party was lots of fun. Sophie was SUPER excited when she woke up from nap and saw all the balloons and decorations for the party. Unfortunately it was pouring rain so we had to pack everyone in our little house. The kiddos seemed to have a good time doing the craft, pinning the flower on Minnie, and of course eating cupcakes! The only thing missing was daddy. :( We took lots of videos and pictures to show him though. Thanks to my inlaws Dan and Paula for all their help preparing for the party.

Visit to see family

We went and spent 9 days with Eric's parents in Portland at the end of March. They had been in Arizona for 2 1/2 months so we had not seen them since Christmas. Sophie had grown and changed a lot and grandma and grandpa had fun spoiling her while we were there! We also got to see the Golsans while we were there. Sophie enjoyed playing with her big cousins and of course loved the attention from Auntie Sara and Uncle Ken! The weather was pretty rainy while we were there (except one sunny day!) so we took Sophie to the Portland Children's Museum. I took Sophie to it once in February and she liked it so much that I figured she would enjoy it again....and she did! We got to see even more of it since we got there a little earlier and it didn't seem as crowded.
