It's not cute when you're 2 or when you're 50...Just NEVER DO IT!
My mom bought these sandals for Sophia. Yes, they're practical, but not my favorite style. I laughed when my mom showed me, but Sophia loves them because she can put them on herself. We were getting ready to go today and she came out with her the sandal and sock combination. I just started laughing and told her, "We don't wear socks with sandals!" hahaha! 
Here's the group before the race: Tracy, Christine, Dad, Mindy, Nate, and Ethan. My mom was the official babysitter of all the kids (except Ethan of course).
We all finished and got a ribbon and a coupon for a free Emerald Smoothie. After the race, I dragged Tracy, Mom, Lauren, and Sophia to Puyallup to cheer on TJ at his church softball tournament.
#16 is my favorite player. Gotta love the baseball booty! 
TJ got on base! Oh yeah! He played well, but the team lost 2 in a row. Then they had a 4 hour break and came back to win the championship game!
Today was such a fun day outside and in the sun. I had 2 firsts today for the year...running a 5K and having to put on sunscreen! There will be lots more of that hopefully!!!!
For dinner we went over to my parent's house and the guys were in charge. Usually my brother is there to help, but he was with his in-laws, so it was up to my Dad and TJ. This is a classic picture of what happens when guys cook dinner with the TV on.....hmmmm I wonder what they're focusing on;)
Then Sophia got them back to focusing on what was really important...DINNER! They made shoosh-ka-bobs (phonetic spelling?), fresh fruit, and bread. It was SOOO good!
TJ helped Sophia make my mom and I a "Peek-a boo" craft with her hand print. TJ did this all by himself...I think my craftiness is rubbing off on him and I like it:)
I have been looking for a nice umbrella stroller for awhile and my parents surprised me with one! What was funny is that TJ was going to get me the same thing, but wanted me to look at it before he bought it:) Great minds think alike!
Great day to be reminded how blessed I am to be a MOM!
The Preschoolers practiced a little play and sang lots of songs. Sophia was excited to be the "Purple Poppy" all week, but when it came time for it, she was not to sure. 
And 5 minutes later the hand went up, then she slowly walked away from the group to sit with me. Later she tried it again sitting on one of her teacher's lap. By the way, this would have been me at her age, better yet I wouldn't of even got up there!
Sophia's guests included Grandma Brown, Nana, and GG. Yup, she's still clingy. I think she knew it was Mother's Day, haha! She was like this ALL weekend:)
Sophia worked hard on presents...She made GG a bead necklace and card and Nana got a picture of Sophia in a picture frame.
And Grandma Brown got a painted pot. What a masterpiece!
Although Sophia was not the star of the show, I knew she knew the songs and I was glad to be with her and other wonderful women!!!
