Sophie's Solo

Wow, where did she get her moves from? When she finally saw the video I think she was embarassed which makes me really sad 'cause I love that she really gets into the music. Its like the song (Help me out with the name here) "dance like nobody is watching."

Anyway, keep dancing Sophie

P.S. the music is techno.

Soul Train at the Schmidt House...

My favorite part is when Sophie really gets jammin' at the end.

Horsin' around

Matt's beer making/ softball/ workout buddy David and his family (Kirsten & Anika) invited Sophie over to meet and play with their horse Blade. Due to my allergies, Olivia and I stayed home. Here are some pictures of their adventure. Sophie's favorite parts were trotting, brushing him, and feeding him. "His mouth was soft and slobbery!"

Everyone knows that both Matt and Sophie would love, love, love to have a ranch with horses. I keep reminding them that if they'd kill me in the process. (Maybe I should raise my life insurance policy for them!...Kidding) After they got home they had to shower immediately 'cause I started sneezing....ARGH stupid immune system.

Car fun

Last night while getting Olivia ready for her bath, she ran around with just shoes and a diaper. I just thought it was cute! The funny thing is she can only go backwards in her little car, so she backs herself into things and then gets stuck.

Kiss the Camera

Visit

The Great grandparents (I should say Awesome grandparents) stopped to visit with us last weekend. They were on their way to Lake Havasu City, AZ where they spend their winters. As usual, they stopped to spend a few days with us on their trip out. We all had a terrific time, swapping stories and just spending time together. Matt took GGpa out to golf, while all of the girls stayed at home played. Olivia really liked GGma, and even gave her a kiss! She'd also play peek-a-boo tag with her. Sophie also gave both of them lessons in how to throw a football. Below is proof that Matt's grandparents are lighthearted souls who will do anything for their only grandson.

Sophie and Grandma coloring. Sophie kept blaming GGma for stealing the crayons, but look at the evidence, the crayons are all on her side scattered everywhere!

Is it Tom Cruise in Top Gun?

Who's that biker chick?

gimme 5

We play the "Give me 5, on the side, cut the pickle...tickle tickle tickle" game with Olivia all the time. About a month ago she started placing her index finger onto the palm of her hand. We didn't know it at first, but it means tickle me!

So, if Olivia does this sign to you, tickle at will!
