Diaper Duty

Yes, Sofi really did try to change Ofelia's diaper after bath time.

Rub-a-dub-dub 3 kids in the tub?

The other night Dylan and Jamie came over for some dinner. It was bath night and Sofi decided she would get Dylan to take a bath with her and Ofelia. She showed him how to get naked and run around the house (great, can't wait til she's in high school). Dylan got to show off the lion tattoo on his chest. Ofelia was just excited to be hanging out with the big kids.

I thought is was hard to get 2 kids to look at the camera and smile at the same time.
Dylan clearly happy about his bath.

Ofelia trying to show off by standing against the side of the tub.

This is the happiest I've ever seen Sofi while she's getting her hair washed.

Mike even washed Dylan's hair!

Fun times that ended with all the kids melting down.

Race for the Cure!

A few weeks ago Team Unstoppable joined forces with Team Christa! and did the 5k walk for the Race for the Cure.

Team Christa! met up at our place for some pre-race food before heading out in support of our friend Christa.

Christa's mom knit the entire team some nice warm beenies for the race. It was a good thing too. That was how we were able to spot each other in the unbelievable crowd.

Here we are somewhere on Speer Blvd waiting to start.

This picture doesn't do the view justice. Both sides of the street for blocks and blocks were packed with supporters.

Ofelia and Sofi were definitely overwhelmed but managed to do a pretty good job.

Down Federal Ave.

Ofelia found some comfy plastic railing to sleep on during the race. Sofi got rides from mama and papa for about 3 of the 3.2 miles.

Some of Team Christa! at about the half way point.

Here's a rare family photo. Yes, I think Ofelia is asleep and Sofi is definitely crying, but it's all 4 of us in a picture together!

Look! Two of the people are dressed as boobies!

Two Hams in a Crib

A new favorite passtime in our house is crib jumping. Both girls get into the crib and (yes, you guessed it) jump! They are really good about posing for pictures while doing this.

Sofi stops to give Ofelia a little side hug.

Such hams.

I don't know what this look is, but it cracks me up.

Look at those cheeks!

Girls and Cupcakes

A few weeks ago I made cupcakes with the girls. For the most part Sofi handed me a few ingredients (she's recently moved up to cracking eggs) and then helped with the decorations. Ofelia started out a little confused about what a cupcake was and why she had to sit in her high chair.
Sofi was super excited about shaking sprinkles onto the cupcakes.

OH! You eat them! Why didn't you say?

Sofi put each sprinkle on one by one by smooshing it into the cupcake.

Ofelia thought the spatula added to the cupcake experience.

Sofi followed up sprinkle placement with a good finger cleaning. Yeah, I bet those of you who ate some of the cupcakes will think twice about accepting next time.

Ofelia was very upset when she figured out her cupcake didn't have frosting or sprinkles.

The finished masterpiece. Sofi decorated all the cupcakes, but decided in the end that this one was hers.

Mmmm.

"Why Laura getting married?"

Last Saturday we went to Laura's wedding. The girls were little rock stars during the entire event. Sofi wouldn't stop dragging people out to dance and Ofelia stayed happy most of the time even though she was fighting a little cold. On the way home Sofi told us all about the dancing she did with Papa and Laura and kept asking, "Why Laura getting married?" We had a great time. Thanks to everyone who helped hold and/or entertain the girls that night. Congratulations Laura!





Here's Ofelia posing with the bride.

Sofi posing. She couldn't get enough of Laura that night. "Where's Laura? I dance with Laura? I lost Laura."

Papa dancing with Ofelia.

We stayed out past the girls' bedtime, but a little quiet time on "Smooolins" shoulder helped Sofi through.

At one point Ofelia jumped into Alexisisis' (how Sofi pronounces Alexis) arms and went right to sleep.

Nikki helps Sofi freshen up her look.

Ready to get back on the dance floor.

A little adult interaction.

Elizabeth gets a little Ofelia time before we make our exit.

We had jackets on and were about to leave when... yup, Sofi saw the other little girl with the bubble dress dancing and couldn't be outdone.

Here's the first dance for Sofi that night. Mike was trying to get Sofi comfortable on the dance floor. It didn't take long at all. This is one of Sofi's new dances where she dances with her little bows (elbows for those of you learning to speak Sofi).

In this next dance video Sofi gets a little ahead of her footwork. Yes, that's me laughing in the background. No, I didn't stop filming to see if she was ok. I'm trying not to react when my kids fall down... yeah, that's it.

Here's where Sofi finally got to dance with Laura. She even claps at the end.

Congrats again Laura! You too, Mark!

In Hiding

This is Ofelia's latest game.
