So Soph at 2 1/2 wks

So, here is our Sophie. I am not only publishing these photos to show off the hot momma Soph-but I wanted to showcase some items given to her by some very talented women. Lets start with the amazing hand crafted quilt behind Sophie in all these pictures (the back of the quilt is found in the next set of pictures). This was made by my very talented sister-in-law Emily Mason. Look closely at the stitching-isn't it good?! I bet your wishing she was your sister-in-law. Moving on to the next item is the hair bow made by my sister Sarah-she literally made it in moments (I know because I was on the phone with her when she was making it!) And finally it you keep scrolling down you'll see some pretty awesome booty's ( that barely fit Sophie) from my wonderful mother. The thing is, I don't think she made them, but I'm sure if she wanted to she could whip some up-right mom? Thanks again to all of you-and to all viewers, enjoy looking at what Sophie and I now own.

Home From Hospital













It was smiles all around when Sophie made it home.





She spent a lot of time in Grandma's arms







just relaxing








and dozing on and off.








Tucker was interested in seeing how much hair she has...








... maybe you were too. (FYI, its not quite as thick and dark as Madelyn's was at her age, but not as light in color as Olivia's and thicker than Liv's too.)







We also looked at old photos and she is indeed the perfect blend of Liv and Maddie.

Here's Sophie!


Well, Sophia Cathern made her entrance to the world last night at 3:30 AM. She is tall and healthy. Her height was almost 22" and she tipped the scales at a hearty 10.6 lbs! (Which was kind of scary because she really had to be pulled on hard. ) In the end, everything has worked out wonderfully and we feel so blessed.


Here she is right after being born.
Who does she look like? Dad thinks she is a (much) thicker Olivia.








Here is Mom and newbie...










...bonding.







The Chicks LOVED seeing her. They woke up extra early to go see her and were on their best behavior.







Sophie would have been into them, but she was just too tired.








Madelyn is so proud to finally be a big sister.








She was always right on top of the situation.








And if her attention ever drifted, Olivia was right there to watch over them both. She is going to be a great Big Sis.






And Sophie sleeps on...
(P.S. Dad now thinks she is a perfect mix of Olivia and Madelyn as babies.)

I've Been Tagged

I've been Tagged!!!
A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B: Each player answers the questions about themselves. C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.


10 years ago: I was 16-a sophomore in high school. I'm sure cruising down at movies 8 (all my friends from high school-don't pretend you weren't with me!)-maybe Emily was trying to call on some girls or something. Also I think my brother Andy was getting ready to come home from his mission. Our family dog, Belle was getting ready to pass away that coming spring.

5 things on my to-do list today: 1. Do laundry(please help there is so much!!!) 2. Go to a fabric store and try and find tight material to make a hair bow 3. Go to Costco, buy baby diapers 4. Look at my calendar, count exactly how many days I have left(like I don't already know-21) 5. Call my sister Sarah about 5 times

Snacks I enjoy: oh man, almost anything that doesn't give me heartburn! I (like Jessie) also want fruit all the time-especially melons-any kind

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: First I think I'd buy a nicer house than my sister Martha-just kidding Martha. Actually I think I would do what it took so both of my parents could retire today-even if they don't really want to. I would pay off all my siblings mortgages and my in-laws mortgages-and any other debt they had. Then I'd give the rest of the money to Rosie O'Donnell to spearhead her campaign for presidency!

3 of my bad habits: 1. I stress about my children's heath too much. 2. Right now my hormones dominant me. 3. Eating too many Mint Oreo's

5 places I have lived: Crosby, MN -Orem UT -Logan,-UT, Ogden, UT -Moon Twp, PA -Pittsburgh, PA


5 jobs that I have had: RD's Drive-In (the good days), Training Table, Kids R Us, Blockbuster Video (even better days), North Ogden Tanning salon, America First Credit Union

5 Things people don't know about me: 1. I worked at a Haunted Cafe, where the owners actually held an exorcism(Pantheon Cafe) 2. When I worked at that Tanning Salon-I never once tanned there. 3. I like to grow out my pinky nail and call it my coke nail. 4. I actually have a very real fear of the water when it turns from the light blue, to the dark almost black blue as it gets deeper(in oceans and lakes)-I'm almost positive the fear originated when I was very young, from my brother Andy's lies about how they released fresh water sharks into Lake Michigan. 5. I get completely obsessive about things and hate to have any unfinished projects laying around-my husband on the other hand.....
