B O W L

This is the word I have heard a lot lately. After we took Sophie bowling at fat cats she seems to talk about it daily. She was so cute, she loved it! When it wasn't her turn you could find in on the flooring dancing to the music. She was so fun to watch. She had a blast and really wants her dad to Bowl. We'll have to go when he gets back.

Easter

Sophie waving to dad

showing that she has already found 2 eggs..lucky gal!

We had a fun Easter with family. Except Ben ( of course), we were sure missing him at all the Egg Hunts and family events. We had a fun Easter Egg hunt at the Rabe's the adults had one which was very sweet and Sophie had her private hunt. She took full advantage getting every egg possible. Then she colored eggs with my mom and was very strict about what colors to use when. Then we had a hunt at my parents house also her very own. She needs her cousins around to make it a little harder. She also loved it and loved everything in her basket. We had a fun day with family and probably a litte too much candy.

VEGAS baby!!!

The Rabe gals went to Vegas for a pure girl trip..(-Jill we wish she could have came, it wasn't the same without her). It was so much fun! We Layed out, shopped, got pedi's, got MAC make-overs, ate and ate and ate at yummy resturants and just had fun relaxing and laughing together. Thank you Rabe's for the fun trip and thank you mom for watching Sophie!

we already MISS you!

Today Ben left for his peds rotation in Columbus, Ohio. He has to be gone for 11 WHOLE weeks. We are so sad that he has to be gone for such a long time. We are going to miss him so much. Thank goodness for skype and Utah..... me and Sophie are headed to Utah while he is gone. We are hoping it won't make the time seem as long. We LOVE you & already MISS you!!

It's A..........

we are so excited to announce that we are having a BOY!!! we are so happy he is healthy and measuring right on time. Sophie told us she was going to have a brother, Wow! She was right all along. We can't wait for this sweet little addition to our family to come!

East TN

Last week was my sweet friend Lindsey's birthday, so me and Sophie decided why not go celebrate with her in Knoxville. It was so much fun! Linds did a good job showing us Downtown Knoxville, Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mtns. It was so fun to get away for a couple of days and have some girl time. Plus Sophie loved Brielle and wanted to do everything she did. It was a fun trip for both of us, we will have to make the trip over to East TN more often. Thanks Linds for showing us good time!

Good Night....

The other night Ben came home from work just before Sophie was going to bed and wanted to play with her, I noticed it being very quite... I went in to check on them and Ben had fallen asleep. Little did he know she was tucking him into bed with all of her favorite toys.
