Snow Shoes and Sleds

On Christmas Eve Isaac and I went up to the golf course to go sledding and snow shoeing! We had a great time! Isaac was so dang adorable in his snow suit! I loved it! Brock had to work so he wasn't able to make it and we missed him so, but luckily he met up with us later that day!

Here's me and my mom all ready to go with our snow shoes on!

Granpo-po and Isaac all bundled up!
Gramdma volunteered to watch Isaac while I took one run down the hill with Ari and Bryant. I feared for my life but I made it out alright.

Christmas Adam

I just can't believe that today is already Christmas Adam! (Christmas eve's eve just in case you don't know!) This month just flew by, I can hardly believe that it's Christmas this week! Let alone in 2 days! Luckily finals are over and another semester of school is done, it's so nice to have a little break for a month! I actually get to see my husband at nights, it's great! I'm excited for Isaac's first Christmas, it's going to be fun! I already know he'll be more interested in the wrapping paper more then his presents... but it's still will be fun to have him here with us!

My Boys

I just wanted to give a shout out to my boys! I love both of them so much and am so grateful to have them both in my life. Brock is such a help with Isaac and I dont know what I'd do with out him! This picture was really cool but then I played with it too much and now it's just kind of cool. Oh well. Yes that is baby spit on Isaac's shirt:) thats how life works! Babies know when they have a cute outfit on and thats why they always ruin it... But he still is adorable!

Ugly Sweater Christmas Extravaganza

So I guess this ugly sweater thing is a new tradition going around because when we were at the DI buying them lets just say we weren't the only ones! haha. We had a great time at a Christmas Party at the Dunluvy's house! Thanks for hosting guys! I didnt get any other pics but this just about sums it up...Friends, Food, Games and Sweaters...what more could we ask for at one Christmas Party? It was great fun!

Soffe Family Photos

We took family photos this last weekend and they turned out so great! I just had to share them. Our photographer was awesome Elton film and images! I wanted to give her a shout out because she did such a great job!

Turkey Bowl

Every year on Thanksgiving all the boys get together for their annual Turkey Bowl! It's always one of the highlights of the day and this year was just as great as usual! Here's a few of the highlights:) Here's the sideline cheer section! Secretly this is the real reason I like going. I don't really watch the game...
Brotherly love! haha They were supposed to meet in the middle, it didnt exactly work but I liked the picture anyway...

Here's Colton and Brock after the game.

Isaac had fun cheering his dad on at his first Turkey Bowl. One day he'll be out there playing!

Bath Time!

Life has been so CRaZy the last few weeks! We've been so busy, especially with school. It seems like the end of the semester is always that way...I love when night time finally comes, and hopefully homework is done and the house is picked up. Every night we feed Isaac his cereal and then he goes straight to the bath. I love this time of night, when Brock is finally home and we all can just relax. I loved these pictures of him they turned out so cute! Just for the record he just put his hands there on his own! I didnt even make him do that:)

Halloween!

Happy Halloween! It was Isaacs first Halloween and I think he had lots of fun?! We went to the Cottonwood Heights city hall for a trunk or treat with Grandpa Soffe (Po-Po)

For his day time costume he was Tigger! It turned out so dang cute!

Here's Kaytee and Lexi they went with us too. I love Kaytee's costume she's a doll in a toy box! So creative!

This picture is the best! Gosh he is cute!

For his night time costume Isaac was my Super Baby and I was his Super Mom! ha ha... and Brock couldn't wear his Super costume so he was Zorro...but at least he had a cape to match us! Brock took Isaac trick or treating around the neighborhood, we visited his parents then went to my moms. I'm not sure Isaac was sure what was going on but he had fun anyway!

rice cereal and apple juice!

The pediatrician gave us the A'okay to give Isaac his first real food. If you call ground up rice cereal mixed with baby apple juice food:) He did so good! I was so proud! Tomorrow we get to try sweet potatoes...Who would have known that introducing new foods to a baby could be so exciting, but it really is. I love my life, I love that what I look forward to in a week is feeding my baby new foods, and watching him learn to grab at objects and being there the first time he rolls over and the second. This is what my life is all about and there is absolutely nothing I would change. There is nothing in life that I want to accomplish more then being a mom and raising my family. I ask myself the question if I wasn't married now, or if I didn't have Isaac what would I be doing, and there is nowhere else I'd rather be. Bath time, tummy time, feeding time, changing time...this is my life and this is all I could ever ask for!

Punkin Carving!

Last Friday night we had a HTPC 4 Reunion! It was great to see everyone!

Here's Brianne and Corey and there awesome punkins! B I love your face!

Here's me, Isaac and Brock. Would be a cute pic if I didnt look like sue yon me yon! What a shame!

Britt and Matt!

Cort and Janelle!

It was so fun to see everyone! I'm glad we were all finally able to get together!

Wesley James Payton

Wesley James Payton was born on October 16th 2008. He is 5lbs 1 oz! He is so tiny and so perfect! I've never been an aunt before and I am so excited!
Here's the proud daddy John and his new little son.
Isaac is a giant next to his new cousin Wesley! They are going to be best friends forever! I can't wait until they are both little toddlers running around grandmas house! It will be so much fun!

The BEARD!

Many of you know that my fanatic of a husband has been growing out his beard for the deer hunt for over a month now! I was not a fan so I was pretty happy when he announced last night that he would be shaving it off! When he came back in the room this is what I got...
A count of Monte Cristo goatee...not too bad but I still think the worst part is that sick stash. So I voiced this out loud and made fun of him for a little while so he said fine I'll shave it off. And when he came back in the room this is what I got...
What the heck..That's not what I meant:) Pretty sick right! Mustaches are sick and not in a sick tight kind of way! haha! Well luckily it's all gone now however you'll just have to trust me because I forgot to get an after shot.

St. Georgie

Last weekend was the open of the deer hunt so me and Isaac packed up our bags and went to visit Aunt Ari in St. George! Luck for me my mom wanted to tag a long with us...she was a great help with Isaac especially on the drive. I wasn't sure how he'd do 4 hours in his "bucket" but he was great!
Gosh...that's a perfect picture/ really ugly picture haha that's the way we like it! It was homecoming for Dixie so we got to follow Ari around to all her events for the weekend. This is a dinner at the Alumni House...so fun!
I LOVE this picture!! Isaac always makes this face right before he starts to cry! You can't tell me that's not hilarious! I can't help but laugh...I'm a mean mom.
I didn't get very many good pictures on this trip! We were always too busy to think about pulling the camera out. It seems like 75 % of the pics were taken in the car...we're pretty boring like that! Drive on! This is us driving to Vegas to go shopping for the day..which was one of the best days! We found a great mall outside the strip that had a great H & M! I love that store! Thanks E for the tip:)

Rebecca's Baby Shower

Two Saturdays ago it was Rebecca's baby shower! It turned out great, she got all sorts of adorable baby presents. Here's a pic of the girls, my mother-in-law Tammy, Sis-in-law Rebecca and me. We are however missing Erin:( Wish you were there! I am so excited that Isaac will have cousins so close to his age! And as a side note I just found out this morning that Rebecca's water broke and she is in the hospital...so hopefully by tonight little baby Payton (who still doesn't have a name!) will be here!!!

Foliage!

The first week in October we went up little cottonwood canyon and had dinner just the three of us. It was absolutely incredible...these pictures don't even begin to do justice to the colors of the trees! Autumn is with out a doubt the most beautiful time of the year.
This is how isaac enjoyed the whole night. Sleeping soundly in is "bucket". What a champ.

One year older and wiser too...

Happy Birthday to me! Yep it's official I'm the big 21! Now I can really party it up and have a good time! haha! right... we had a great time celebrating my brithday up in Park City this year. Even Brock the hairy grizzly bear, ditched school for one night to come up and have dinner and cake and ice cream. It was nice to just get away even if it was only for one night. (I can't wait till hunting season is over so he'll shave off that dang beard!;)
Isaac and I spent the day at the outlet mall. I dont think he loves it when I dress him up like a doll and take lots of pictures! But how can I resist look how dang cute he is! Overall it was a great birthday, I just can't believe it's been a whole year already and yet my whole life has changed quite dramatically in the last year! But it has all been for the better!

Three Months Old!

I really can hardly believe that Isaac is 3 months old! It has gone by so fast. I had to put away all his newborn clothes and bring out his 3-6 month clothes and I almost cried... I'm so excited for the new things he's learning and his reactions to us now but I still am sad to see his tiny clothes getting bigger. It really is scary how fast time goes, and supposedly it just keeps going faster.

Football Season

I love the fall, not only is it perfect temperature, beautiful colors, the beginning of a new school year, and my birthday:) but it's also football season! Now I'm not one to love watching a football game on t.v. by myself! But if we're with friends, or watching Brock play then it's fun! Me and Isaac went and watched Brock and his friends play last Saturday morning. It was great fun until Chris Lapray and Josh Olofson ran into eachother and Josh broke his nose... oops! But we still had a good time besides that small factor... I think Brock is very excited for the day that he can take Isaac to his first BYU football game! Even though I think they both should be Ute fans! GO UTES;)

Me and My Daddy

Isaac and his daddy love to play! He's getting so big and chubby, every day he looks different!
