It feels like Spring! (Finally!)

We went for a walk last week to check out the rising river. It was too warm for a winter hat, and too sunny for no hat, so Sophia got to wear her cowgirl hat!


This was 2 blocks west of our house, about 4 days before the crest (the crest was on Sunday)

On the right hand side of this pic you can see the dike that was built around the house 2 blocks west of us

Sophia LOVES puddles! (She now has rubber boots for her puddle play)

On Saturday we went to Grand Forks for cousin Gabby's 7th birthday. Between the overland and the rivers flooding, it looked like we were driving down the middle of a lake! Scary!

You can't usually see water in this area...


Sophia missed the water on the way there...she was too busy napping!

Pre-party! Playing with cousin Gunner

The birthday girl! Gabby

Cousin Magdalene helped Sophia discover m & m's in the trail mix!


Hanging out with Grandma Carmen!

And her Grandpa Ralph!

Gunner is so good with Sophia...he always shares with her and tries to play with her!

With Great-Aunt Kathy

Cake time!



The cake was soooo yummy! (DQ ice cream cake!) Sophia ate half of mine!

More attempts at getting pics of all the cousins!


She loves helping with the presents :)

Sophia with her (cousin once removed? 2nd cousin?) Ireland. Sophia's 1 month older, but Ireland's "6 months bigger!" :)

Silly Grandpa :)

Travis took Sophia to the YMCA today for playgroup, and I coerced him into taking some pictures (I've never been to this playgroup. They go every Thurs morning). The kids spend a lot of time running around in the indoor skatepark! Here Sophia is climbing up a ramp...

The little boy to the left is William! The twins came to playgroup today for the first time!

And Amelia!

Climbing up a ramp! She looks like a frog :)

The twins in the middle of some major kiddie madness!

Shoot, I am slacking. I had seen this post and OH MY GOD is that hat adorable. Well, actually, that girl in that hat. So cute. And, looks like good times with the family. Also, very neat that Travis goes to playgroup! You know how I love those sorts of things!
