Sophie's Weekend...

CRITTERFEST!! at the Science Spectrum was this weekend and Sophie has been looking forward to this event all week. She had an unbelievable time looking at all the zoo animals, watching and petting what animals she could. She was so incredibly brave and rode on a camel AND an elephant all by herself. She was so thrilled with herself she talked about it all weekend.

[In line for Elephant Ride]


[Yup, there's our tiny little Peanut at the front!!]



We took a lunch break and then decided to nap before heading back to watch the Big Cat Tiger Show and the Crocodile Encounters show. She loved the tigers and was amazed at how big they actually are in real life. She quickly made us aware that those tigers were "her friends" and would laugh at all the tricks they would do. I must admit I don't think I've ever been so close to a tiger in my life...such beautiful animals or "tute" as Sophie says.



Then, Sunday we took her to her very FIRST movie at the theater to see Cars 2. Had she not eaten half the bag of popcorn and several packs of smarties [before the movie started] we would have been better off. She watched roughly an hour of the movie before her stomach started to hurt, so we were in and out of the movie up until it ended. Still fun...we just know better for next time...NO POPCORN!!

Thanks to Grandma for coming to visit this weekend. We much enjoyed seeing you and hanging out by the pool to beat the heat!! And, thanks to Uncle Johnny and Uncle Davy for joining us at Cars 2!!

Hope everyone reading had a great weekend. Love, love, love!

Lopez Shower...

Phew...the hosting of my first baby shower. I think it went pretty well...afterall, only the best can be provided for my SISTER!! Not to mention this will be their very first BABY! Took some pictures of things I "created" for the shower...Enjoy!



Okay, I didn't create this gorgeous girl but had to start with a picture of the cutest pregnant person!!



Here's the Wishes & Advice table where all the guests got to make special wishes and give advice to Baby Joseph.
