Oh, how I love a good quote! I chose this one for 2 reasons. Since my last post, I have noticed just how much our little love has grown up. In just one month, she has expanded her vocabulary and started to do lots of fun, new things!
Another reason is because I
finally put my words into action and started a new blog:
FITspiration Mom Yay! I've always been passionate about health & fitness, & I always love sharing that with anyone who will listen, haha. Sooo,
ta da! Feel free to check it out, if you wanna ;)
This blog will primarily be about what our little family, mainly Sofie, has been up to. Aaaand pictures galore. (that's a given right?)

| Our little family ♥ |
It seems we have been busy little bees since my last post. Easter, Birthdays, Mother's Day, vacation, started swim lessons, Tempe Triathlon, and our normal activities. Oh and, getting sick. Boo! But, no one wants to hear about that.

| First official Easter Egg Hunt! |
We celebrated my older brother's birthday on Easter, Jace turned 3,
I turned 29 I
mean, I turned 21! Haha. Kayce & Hunter turned 14. Sheesh. We
also took our annual trip to Rocky Point with some of our closest
friends, and it was a
much needed vacation. Sofie loved playing
in the ocean and pool until nap time. She is such an easy child to
travel with, we really lucked out.

I was always told that *one day* Sofie would just start chatting up a storm. I can't even count how many new words she has learned, but I will try! And as I keep saving my draft for the last 2 days, she keeps learning new words.
Help (she also signs it), Up!, Pleeeeease (which sounds like cheese, haha), Thank You, House, Fishy, Duck, Papa, Nana, Tata, Shay shay (Aunt Michelle), Book, Floower (frow frow)Train & Car noise (choo choo & vroom vroom vroom) Animal noises: Sheep, Pig, Horse, Duck, Wa-wa (water, or she makes a slurping noise), Shoe, D-D-D-D (aka Dora), Boots, Star, Banana, All done (makes a sign), No (ha....), Yes, Lily (her bff), Mmm(when she sees a cup of coffee, haha).
Seriously, all in one month. It's been so exciting to see her learn and
be excited to learn. After nap time, she grabs a book and brings it to me. She opens it up and points to everything and looks up at me patiently waiting for me to teach her. I love it!
What's really a hoot is when she says "Bless You" which sounds like "Shoo shoo" anytime someone sneezes. Even if she sneezes, she says it.
So freaking adorable. So we play a game of pretending to sneeze, haha.

Thanks to my parents, Robbie & I were able to go on a date night to...yup, you guessed it: The Keg. I'm signed up with their emails and got a coupon for 1 free entree up to $25
AAAND they gave me free dessert. Not just, any dessert; Billy Miner Pie. You all know it's my fave. I had a great birthday and welcome the last year of my twenties with open arms.
Last weekend we got to see some of our Hegarty family members at the annual Tempe International Triathlon. It was so fun, and I think Rob and I felt more prepared this year to compete than previous years. Our team name was: Tri Anything (Rob-swim Amber-bike & I ran) Good times and great memories!
Here are a few other random pics:

So yeah, that sums up the highlights of the last month. We are also in the midst of getting our pool built, which is very exciting! Sofie is doing so awesome in her swim lessons. For anyone interested in doing ISR lessons (Infant Self Rescue) you should see Krista with
East Valley Infant Swim. She is amazing with children and I am very impressed with how quickly Sofie is catching on!
Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend, only 2 more days. Yay!
