Homemade Pizza with Daddy
It has become a little tradition in the Coria home that Friday nights are homemade pizza nights. I usually make a couple batches of dough in my bread machine early in the day and when Marc gets home he puts his high school days’ Little Caesar’s experience to work in our kitchen. Sometimes we let the kids decorate their own pizzas. They love that. These are pictures from last Friday. For tonight’s pizza making extravaganza I had gone to the store with Gracie where we picked up extra cheese and pepperoni. When we walked in the front door, we found Audrey, Carson, and Sophia (her high chair placed next to the other kids) all in front of the kitchen counter with Marc inside the kitchen performing a cooking show for them. It was complete with a Julia Child accent. Too funny! I love the fact that my husband loves to play with his children. I’m sure they love it too.

The Morning After
This is what was going on in my house BEFORE 6:00 am the morning after Sophia’s party….
A tea party with Sophia's new tea set and baby doll.
Audrey with Sophia's new singing puppy.
Riding Sophia's new horse.
“Where is Sophia” you ask? Why, she’s still in bed. But this is what was going on in my house by 6:30 am…..
Still tired, but have to get play time in!!
Happy Birthday Sophia Madalena!
Sophia on her "Birth" day 8/11/08
- On her 1st birthday 8/11/09
My baby turned 1 this week and she actually took her first steps today. I am always amazed to see how much these beautiful babies grow in just 1 year. I have been contemplating alot this week about what happened a year ago as I suppose most mothers do when their baby turns one. For some reason I have felt a special, different peace and joy. Although I felt happiness when each of my children arrived at their first birthday, it is definitely different this time. I’m not sure why that is. I have thought it might be due to the harder labor and delivery I went through to bring this beautiful soul into the world as compared to my other children. I have also thought it might be the longer physical recovery time it took, or the mental stress and pressure that I have struggled with over the past year since having her. Mostly, I think I’ve had this calming joy this week because I feel like I’m finally getting back to feeling like myself. Feeling like myself is something that I have almost forgotten what was like. For a while I didn’t know if I ever would feel like me again. I credit my Father in heaven for this peace that has been restored within me. I do know with a surety that it is a blessing from Him.
Moving on…. we had such a fun party to celebrate sweet Sophia’s first birthday. Lots of family came to be with our little cutie on her special day. Audrey, Grace, and Carson were by her side making sure they didn’t miss a moment of Sophia’s reactions to everything. Sophia had fun dancing to all her musical presents and she loved the cake and frosting too! We all can’t wait to see what the next year has in store.
- Before…
- …. and after
- I love this picture!! She’s kissing her own reflection. Yeah Sophia you are that cute!!!
One of these kids is not like the others….
Admit it, you remember the Sesame street song. It goes a little something like this…
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?
This is what I found tonight when I went to check my children after they had gone to bed and yes, Carson is fast asleep behind those shades.
