Living with the Beaty's

Since we sold our house so quickly and we haven't found a new house yet, we moved in with the Beaty's. So far its been alot of fun (they might say something different lol). The kids have soo much fun together. I enjoy having dinner as a family since El is working during the week and El and Rick have fun every night after El gets off work.

Soph of course loves all Addie and Jaxon's toys.

Grilling a donut:

 Just doing her nightly run on the treadmill:

 Whoops...she dropped her hot dog:

 She LOVES this grill:

 Soo happy:

 Soph and Addie working out (notice Addie's gear - Dora nightgown, book bag, 3 headbands - 2 of which are hanging off the third one lol):

 "Buckeye Princess"

 Soph and Jax:

You'd think I'd have a ton more photos of the kids playing together but every night goes by soo fast I don't even have time to snap photos. My goal is to try to take more photos this next week. :) We are soo grateful for them letting us stay with them. We don't know what we'd do without them. The search for a new house continues...I think we've looked at 50 houses and hundreds online. It's exhausting!

Friday Fun With Daddy

Last Friday on El's day off he took Soph to the zoo. Although it was hot that day, they had alot of fun.

Soph checking out the kangaroos:

 She loves running (even though it makes me SUPER nervous that she'll fall):

 El took all these photos so I'm assuming he thought this bird was cool:

 Can you tell El was with Soph that day? No hat, pants falling down, diaper hanging out lol:

 El said Soph had more fun at the playground at the zoo then seeing the animals.

 She would climb up this wall and go down the slide multiple times. When it was time to leave...she threw a fit. She was kicking and screaming. El said he was really embarrassed lol!

 Exhausted after a fun day at the zoo!

Dog walker

While at Jim and Sharon's this weekend Soph learned how to walk Maya. :)

Norris Lake

This past weekend we went to Norris Lake with the Goff side of the family. Soph had a bad case of diaper rash (we think from teething) early last week and it extended into our drive on Friday. A 6 hour drive turned into an 8 hour trip including 3 stops, 2 blow outs and 1 outfit change. Poor Soph! Despite having diaper rash and blow outs she was still a happy camper most of the drive!

 Maya wasn't bad either. She preferred to sit on Elliott's lap:

Once we got there late Friday night, Soph was all smiles when Aunt Linds opened up the grocery cart she bought for Soph. She LOVED it:

 They had a pool table in the lower level of the house, this little man statue that held the pool sticks was Soph's favorite. She would crack up at it, touch it and she tried to pull the cigar out of his mouth:

 She also liked the balls and wanted to get them out:

 Checking out the view from her level:

 After the OSU football game, we got dressed in our suits and headed for the lake. Soph looking cute in her suit:

Then we were off. Actually, in this picture we were just waiting. Before the boat moved, I put Soph's life jacket on. Safety first. :)

 Sharon and El:

After we docked the boat near other boats, we took Soph's life jacket off (because she HATED it) and she enjoyed playing on the floor of the boat. Everyone else got in the water, swam, jumped off the bridge etc. Soph was good with some water bottles and her puffs.

 Then Aunt Linds wanted to cool Soph off because it was SUPER hot so she put her on the raft with her. Soph wasn't feeling it.

 Time to hydrate:

 Soph LOVED her first boat ride.

 Jim jumping off the bridge. At age 60...he's fearless!

 Another attempt to cool Soph off:

 She typically loves the water but I think the life jacket annoyed her.

 Makenzie and Jim wrestling:

 Makenzie and her friend tubing:

 Soph in the big girl booster seat enjoying her breakfast:

 On Sunday morning, El, his dad and Jay all went golfing so Sharon and I took Soph to the park.

 Soph loves rocking chairs:

 Everyone brought their dogs so we had a total of 4 dogs. Soph wasn't sure about Izzy at first but started to warm up to her on the final day:

 Building with blocks:

 El and Jim after a day of golfing:

 Like I said before, Soph loved this grocery cart. She put everything into it...including Maya's food bowl lol:

 Reading books with daddy:

 And wrestling:

 Maya checking out the view of the lake:

 Just taking a walk:

A family photo of us ALL smiling??

We saw a ton of deer all weekend:

 Family pic!

We had alot of fun spending time with family this weekend. :) Soph loved her first time being at Norris Lake and riding on a boat.
