"I Want More Candy!"

Halloween was so fun with Sophie this year, she REALLY got into Trick-or-Treating. She was even comfortable enough to say to one lady, "I want more candy!" instead of "trick-or-treat". And...I just happened to get it on video!

My Baby has Tattoos

I am NOT a fan!

Cow Boots

Phil's parents bought Sophie these pink cowboy boots when we went to San Antonio for Phil's boot camp graduation. She's worn them once or twice, but lately she's become very attached to them. She calls them her "cow boots" and wears them constantly. Last week to church and even to bed sometimes. I'm ok with it since they are really cute and we live in Idaho so why not? She can be a cowgirl if she wants!

Operation Domestic Tara

I'm determined to learn how to cook, sew, and become crafty. Luckily, I have lots of friends and family who are willing to help me. This week my mom and Becca helped me make really cute spiders out of shiny pipe cleaners and pom poms for the table decorating contest at our ward Halloween party. I am also proud to announce I made my first ever pie from scratch. My friend Therese helped me make the most delicious banana cream pie I've EVER tasted. She's also teaching me how to cook once a week and I trade by giving her son TJ piano lessons. And Phil's dad helped me make an apple pie. Next: making gravy from scratch and Christmas crafts. Any ideas?

Witch Niche

My Aunt Mariellen throws the funnest parties for all the ladies on my mom's side of the fam. This time it was a witch themed Halloween party. We all dressed up and it was tons of fun!
