How sad that our little baby is just shy of 11 months old, and it has been forever since we took her picture. Here she is with her excellent, sparkling personality cheering on her big brother Cooper at the pine wood derby (along with her Daddy). We love you Sophie, and have not forgotten about you :)

Sophie at 11 months
How sad that our little baby is just shy of 11 months old, and it has been forever since we took her picture. Here she is with her excellent, sparkling personality cheering on her big brother Cooper at the pine wood derby (along with her Daddy). We love you Sophie, and have not forgotten about you :)
Reagan & her buddy Uncle Pat
Everybody was Kung-fu fighting...or go ninja, go ninja go. You gotta love an uncle who will put on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle mask & do high kicks with you. Reagan & Pat were acting so silly, we just had to get a picture.
Cooper the Pine Wood Derby King
So, the night began with Cooper working super hard this year to earn his Wolf Badge. He wanted to do it before he turned 9. He made it by 5 days!!
He also earned some arrow badges as well as some belt loops.
After the boys get their awards for advancement, they call up the mom's who also get a pin as well.
Cooper & Mike worked so hard on this car. We almost thought it might not get to race. As Mike was nailing in the front two wheels right before we left for the church, the wood was too thin in the front, and the wheels wouldn't stay on. Luckily one of the dad's there had some super glue...whatever it was, it made it a winner. Cooper's car raced 5 times, and he came in 1st 4 of those times. He only lost once, and it was to his friend Mason, who ended up coming in 1st place overall. Not bad work for Mike who does not excel in these kind of things at all.
The first race of the night. Cooper's is on the far left. It was red, yellow, and orange. It also had flames on the tops & sides!!
Sweet Victory. You gotta love that Cooper thinks he is at a rock concert!! This kid had the best night ever. I am so proud of him!!!

Alexis' First Slumber Party
So this last weekend, Alexis had her first Slumber Party. I was surprised when her & 2 friends came to me to ask if they could have one (although I wasn't surprised they wanted to have one at our house, Alexis won't sleep at anyone else's house). They were so excited, I couldn't say no. She has made quite a few new friends this year at school, and I like them all alot. Look what they even got Alexis to do................
Just when she thought I was not going to check on them... I found them all dressed up singing along with Guitar Hero. Notice the one in the tutu!!

Christmas Morning
I don't know about your house, but at the Robles' we would line up in order for a picture before we could see our stuff on Christmas morning. So in keeping with tradition, here is our lineup.
They were so into their games, that they didn't realize that they were touching. Nice & Cozy :)
The kids were so excited to help Sophie open her first ever Christmas gifts!!

Sophie in the Sink
Our little baby has gotten so big. She is now 6 months old, and a whopping 17 1/2 pounds. She is definately built a little more like Cooper than the other girls. She is such a good baby. She is happy all of the time, unless I take too long getting her food. She is impatient!! Although she is not the best sleeper, she has such a cheery disposition. We are glad Sophie is a part of our family!!!

Alexis Got Em'!!!!
I keep teasing Alexis that she is going to get her boobs one of these days, especially since she is now 11. One of our neighbors brought over some flowers, and one was this "dinner plate" mum. Alexis thought it was hilarious, and insisted on me taking these pictures of her. I told her what it looked like when she held the flower & plate up like that, and she couldn't stop laughing. I think she secretly wants them :)
Halloween 2008
Here are the kids on our front porch before a night of too much Trick-or-Treating!!Our neighborhood didn't get a whole lot of action, so we headed over to our cousins house. The kids came home with way too much candy. Cooper is dressed up like Ash (a Pokemon trainer), Alexis is a Gangster Rapper (I have no say anymore!!), Sophie is baby Snow White, and Reagan is a Pink Poodle.
