Thanksgiving 2008

Instead of trying to have two Thanksgivings in one day, we split it up this year. Thanksgiving at the Mason's and the day after at my mom's. At the Mason's, Sophie tried to see how many whole olives she could fit into her mouth at once and we convinced Phil's dad to play a game with us (very entertaining! :). At my mom's it was nice to spend time with Ben and Grams and watch the BSU game. Can you believe how beautiful the table looked? I have ALOT to live up to!

Sophie's Future Husbands

Last week Sophie and I were able to spend the week with my amazing friend Jenn and her adorable twin boys. Jenn and I have been friends since we were born and even though we grew up in different states have managed to stay very close. We haven't been able to spend much quality time together these last few years, so this trip was long overdue! Sophie loves Jackson & Josh and they love her. We've decided Sophie can choose her future husband: Joshy with big brown eyes and brown hair or Jackson with beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair.

Phil drove down for the weekend so Jenn & Parker and Phil & I went to dinner Friday night while Jenn's sister Lindsey watched the babies (thanks Linds!). Then we spent the weekend with Grandma & Grandpa Goodsell--always a treat! Love you!

14 Months and Still Not Walking...

Sophie turned 14 months old on Halloween! She is SO close to walking. She thinks its a fun game to walk 4 or 5 steps from me to Phil or Phil to me. We're thinking this next week she'll be walking around. She is so animated and fun to be around, I really love this age! She loves to play with the alphabet magnets on the fridge and try to get into all the cupboards. In the mornings after breakfast, she'll sit on the couch with her Care Bear, blankie and binkie and watch Sesame Street for the entire hour. She likes to get up on our headboard and play with the lamps. She knows she isn't supposed to so she'll turn around to see if we're watching and jet up there as fast as she can. We have a hard time getting her to eat new things. She likes to dip things in Ranch and suck the Ranch off. She's really picky about food, but she will eat a lot of what she does like. We wish all her teeth would hurry up and come in. She only has 5 and it seems like this teething thing is neverending! She says "NO" even if she means yes and also says "Dan" for "dance" (and dances), "Uh-oh" and "Hi!".

Flower Power

This week has been full of Halloween celebrations! Last Saturday we went to Boo at the Zoo, Monday we had a fun Halloween get together with friends, Wednesday we had our church Halloween party and on Halloween we spent time with cousins at Grandma Davis' house. Sophie had a blast with all her little friends and cousins.
