Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today was Pat's birthday. It was great celebrating his birthday with Sophia for the first time.


Here a few pictures of his birthday cake. We decided to let Sophia try some cake for the first time. We figured she would be trying some cake for her first birthday next month so why not?

 

 Pat was just going to feed her some cake. But then she saw...

...G'Bob's cake so she "swiped" it right off his plate. 

She loved her cake but we took it away and she grabbed another piece and Mommy screamed and made her cry. :/

It just shocked me that she took the cake. I didn't mean to make her cry. But, how sweet is this face?


 

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I got to spend time with Sophia on her first Valentine's day! Now, that is sweet! We are so blessed. 

This is the first year I have not been teaching. I kind of missed seeing my kindergarteners and doing Valentine's day activities. I have some sweet memories of my little ones giving me Valentines. I miss how their whole face would light up when they me a Valentine. :)

I watched my niece Dylyn today for a few hours. So, Sophia and Dylyn got to play together.

Tonight the three of us went to dinner at a fun Mexican restaturant. I love Meixcan food. 

 Opening her Valentines...I think she liked the lens cover the best.

Harpers Ferry Adventure

Today we decided to take advantage of the sunshine so we went out for the day. We went to one our favorite outdoor spots-Harpers Ferry.

 On the way to Harpers Ferry we stopped at a bakery because there was a sign that said, "fresh kinklings". We've never bought kinklings before so we thought it would be a fun start to our adventure. They were really good.

 I just love how her little baby feet are poking out.

 He was showing her the water in this picture. He also showed her some rocks. I just love how he teaches her to explore.

Family shot

She was sleeping in this photo. So cute!

Today was such a fun day. We went hiking at our favorite place. Patrick actually proposed here 5 years ago. It was still a little chilly but the sun was shining. We used to come here and hike a lot before Sophia was born. Although I have a feeling we will be coming here more this spring and summer. I'm looking forward to some good hikes. :)

Other activities that we've done here:
1. tubing
2. white water rafting
3. I love the unique restaurants and gift stores

Ice Sculptures

 Just a few pictures from the weekend...

 Sophia making faces while eating puffs.

Patrick and I had a date night Saturday night. Downtown Frederick had "Fire & Ice". I had to get my picture taken with the Hood College sculpture. I graduate in May with my Master's degree from Hood.

 We also had to stop and make s'mores.

Patrick didn't want to be in the picture.
