Scobey Family Vacation 2010

The annual Scobey Family Vacation took place in Panama City Beach this year! It was so fun to all be together in the same place for a few days, even if Graham and Ashley had to work some while we were there!

We all flew down together in Pops' new plane, even Bear (Graham and Ashley's dog) joined us!
We did a lot of eating, a lot of sleeping and had a lot of fun just hanging out.

Sophi LOVED the sand...
Evie did NOT!
Regardless, Sophi and Evie had so much fun playing together! They are truly becoming great pals!! It is so cute to watch!


Can't wait for next year ya'll!

My sweet Sophia,

I can't believe a year has already gone by since the special day God brought you into this world. I still remember hearing your first cry and holding you in my arms for the very first time. You were so beautiful even at that moment and you are still the most beautiful little girl I have ever seen.I am amazed at how much you are doing these days! Your vocabulary has tripled in this last month. Your favorite words right now are airplane, Pops, balloon, all through, dog, brush, pat-pat, Shiloh, swing, bite, thank you and milk. You LOVE to talk and can pretty much mimic everything we say.God has begun revealing your tender heart to us over the past month. You love to give hugs, pat-pat those you love and blow kisses. You are still my tough cookie but I so love seeing this sweet side of your personality.You are still such a great sleeper, are so alert when you are awake and almost always have a smile on your face. You love being with people and are continuing to teach your dad and I how to be more social with strangers! You love to wave to everyone you see and always bring a smile to those you meet.Sophi, I love you more than I can express in words. You fill my heart with more joy than I new was even possible. I am so proud of you and thank God everyday that he chose me to be your mom. He has great plans for you and I look forward to watching them unfold. And no matter where this life takes you always remember that your mommy and daddy love you and will always be here for you.

Happy first birthday my beautiful baby girl.

Sophi's "third" birthday party

We were able to celebrate Sophi's official first birthday on September 11 with family and friends in Atlanta, GA. My mom did an AMAZING job planning the party, everything looked so cute! So many special people were able to celebrate with us including both sets of Sophi's great-grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and second cousins, my sweet friend Kathryn and her family, the Kennemers who are life long friends of both my parents and as well as us, and even the minister who married Josh and I over 5 years ago!

My dad grilled hambergers and hot dogs which were super yummy and we finished off the meal with cake and icecream of course! Sophi helped Nana make the potato salad.
This was Sophi's third time eating cake but it was still so funny to watch, she has NO fear of food! Sophi recieved so many sweet gifts that she enjoyed opening along with the help of the other kids at the party!
What a great way to celebrate our precious girl's first birthday. We are so excited to see all that God has in store for her in this next year of her life! Happy Birthday Sweet Sophi!

Sophi's "second" birthday

We have been on vacation for several weeks which is why I am just now getting around to updating the blog. We are having SUCH a good time relaxing and enjoying time with family and friends.The first few days of our vacation here in the south were to visit Josh's parents, "Grammy" and "Poppy" in Columbia, TN. While there we celebrated Sophi's birthday with her TN family including Josh's brother, our sister-in-law, and our niece Bella and nephews Julian and Aiden.



Sophi had such a great time and LOVED her cake. She got so many fun gifts, new books and toys, cute new clothes and shoes and a really fun "dress up" dress from her cousin Bella.

We really enjoyed making special memories with sweet family and we look forward to spending more time with them again soon.

I hope to blog about Sophi's "third" birthday party with our Georgia family shortly so check back soon!

Sophi's "First" Birthday

This past Monday we celebrated Sophi's first birthday a little early with our California family.
What a joy it was to share this special time with such amazing friends. Josh and I had so much fun putting the party together and felt so blessed as we watched all our friends love on our precious little girl.We had pizza in the park and enjoyed cupcakes for dessert. Sophi LOVED her cupcake and of course ate the whole thing!Josh surprised me for my birthday during Sophi's party with some yummy dessert. He also had each of the girls in our group share a way that I had blessed their life. What a special moment for me, I felt so blessed and so loved. It is one birthday moment I will never forget! I love my husband and my precious friends! Thank you all for loving and supporting our family the way you do! We thank God for your friendship.We leave bright and early tomorrow morning to head to Atlanta where we will spend the month of September traveling the South. I hope to document some of our special moments here so stay tuned!
