Lots and lots of ice cream 
We love the warmth of the sunshine and are not complaining because we know that it only comes around once in awhile:)! 
Then I decided to check under her dress just to make sure and I touched a Bare booty! I started cracking up and yelled for TJ to come with the camera (sorry only a mom and dad could think that this was hilarious). Sophia has never taken off her diaper by herself before and thank goodness it was a clean diaper!!!! We started our morning with a good laugh. It's true what they say...It's never the same day twice when you have kids!
Here is our conversation: Sorry about the angle (you'll have to turn your head). Now I know that I cannot rotate a video. Sophia loves the ABC song, Itsy Bitsy Spider song, Wheels on the Bus song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Song, etc BUT she also loves the Blackeyed Pea Song "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!!
The joy of having a girl...PINK TOES!
TJ had a work BBQ at Kitsap Lake. We had fun dipping our feet in the water and throwing rocks. Too bad we didn't bring our swim suits.
We also met Nama Brown there too!
TJ had to show off their famous trick to his co-workers. It's hilarious to hear all the mom's gasp when he does that. Don't worry, they've been doing it since Sophia was a little baby and she loves it!
TJ also had a softball tournament at Fairgrounds, so we went to cheer him on and got to play at the park during his breaks.
TJ got to rest with us at the park while he waited for this next game. Check-out TJ's clown pants, haha! I guess they're cool because all the guys on his team have them, but I always laugh at them!
After the softball tournament, we ended the week with going to Point No Point to have dinner, enjoy the water/sand, and enjoy the sunset!!! 
Feeling a little bit more confident, she sat at the table to have a snack. TJ snuck out first. Sophia was looking comfortable so I made more and more distance from her and then excused myself. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."Mommy!" TJ and I were standing outside the door when the crying began. The teachers tried to console her, but it wasn't happening. TJ got caught by Sophia peeking in the little window on the door, so he went in with her while they got the toys out.
Once again, Sophia was playing with the cars and other toys, so TJ stepped out of the room. She noticed he was gone and started crying, then crying louder and louder. People in the hall just told us to walk away and that they would come get us if they needed us. "What?" "Walk away when our baby was having such a hard time?" ugghhh! I didn't think it would be so hard for TJ and I to leave her in nursery. We followed the people's advice and walked away. About 5 minutes later one of the teachers brought her to us. She was crying so hard she was doing the head shake and snot was flowin'. We cuddled a little bit until she calmed down and then I asked her if she was ready to go back and play. She said, "No want it!" I tried not to laugh. Sophia and I went back in. She sat on my lap for singing time, but then eventually went back to playing with toys. I moved farther away from her, but didn't leave this time. She would check for me and bring me toys to play with. The teacher ended with a little lesson and a coloring activity. Here is her necklace:
So...Will it get better? Will I ever be able to go to class and listen? We'll see how next week goes...
TJ and all the niece and nephews on the Uffens side (Nolan, Tyler, Ethan, and Lauren)
The weather was perfect for a little swim in the pool (good ol' 4ft pool)
Sophia calls this her boat
The famous 4th of July BBQ. Sophia always tries to eat corn on the cob, but always ends of spitting it out. This is the first time she actually eats it all. Maybe the corn holders excited her.
Ethan had a surprise soccer ball pinata. Sophia was excited about the bat, but not excited to hit the soccer ball. Instead she took a swing for her Aunt Christine's booty! Oops!
Happy Birthday Ethan! Lucky boy getting fireworks on his birthday. Can't believe he's 7 years old!
The Uffens gang is all here...waiting for it to get dark.
Sophia is a fan of fireworks! She would say "whoa!" when it was a loud one. My lap was taken, so she went back and forth from her chair to Aunt Christine and "Nama's" lap.
She looks mad here but she wasn't...She was clapping saying, "MORE!"
My lap was full with Ethan. Ethan has been my fireworks buddy since he was a baby. He would always have me cover his ears, but I guess when he turned 7, he didn't need that anymore. At least I still got him on my lap:)
Good ol' Mortars
I do not suggest this one..."Utter Chaos!" This one was neat when it was in the air, but not so neat when it came down and dented our car! 
And that's all! Here's the damage...
TJ bought all the kids their own bag of Swedish Fish candy to keep them entertained before the fireworks. I think Jackson was afraid that someone was going to take his away. He was stuffing them in as fast as he could, then went on the hunt for more:)
My best friend Kimberly Ann met up with us and Miles and Mollie wanted to join us in the picture. They made it that much cuter!
The group is all here and ready for the show! (Mollie, Hollie, Miles, Kevin, Jackson, TJ, Sophia, and I, Kim, Mark, and a few strangers)
3, 2, 1, FIREWORKS!!!! Can you see anything???? No that's right...the TREE is in the way...Ahem...I think someone said something about that earlier. We all laughed and moved to see them!
We had to stand during the show. Sophia was a little nervous which is why she was chewing on her fingers, but warmed up quickly. She said "pretty!" "cool!"
ooooooooooo, ahhhhhhhhh
When we got in the car to go home I asked what firework was her favorite. She said, "the blue one!" (everything is blue).
