Sophie Eating Like a Big Girl!

We gave Sophie a carton of yogurt and a spoon just for fun and expected her to make a huge mess. Instead she used it like a champ. She didn't even knock the carton over!

Mason Family Reunion

We just returned from a Mason Family Reunion in sunny Sacramento. It is nice to be home, but we would still like to be there. We had so much fun! We stayed with Phil's cousins Rick & Brenda and had really yummy food for every meal.

Mason Family Reunion at a park in Rancho Cordova.

Sophie had so much fun with cousin Caleb!

Boating up at Sly Park all day. Sophie loved playing in the sand!

San Francisco!

We took the babies to Fairytale Land where Sophie & Caleb got their faces painted.

Its My Party, And I'll Cry If I Want To

And Sophie did just that at her 1st birthday party! She didn't want anything to do with the cupcake and didn't want to pose for any pictures. Luckily, we did manage to get a few cute ones. (How could they not be cute when she's wearing that hat?!) I was worried about the weather because it was supposed to be windy and cold and her party was at a little park, but it turned out to be perfect. Cute cupcakes, cute decorations, precious friends and family, cute everything. What would I do without my mom?!

After her party...

Fun At The Fair

We went to the fair last Wednesday with my sis, my mom and Ray. We were able to get seats for the Chicago concert and it was pretty awesome. All members of my fam are fans of Chicago because we grew up listening to them. And now Sophie is also a fan as proven by her obvious excitement in the picture below. Sophie was also fascinated by all the animals, especially the goats and chickens. My mom talked me into riding one of the crazy upside-down rides. She was so funny yelling "Holy Cow" and giggling the whole time. I loved it. :)

Sophie's Passport Picture

We are going to Mexico for Christmas this year with my dad so yesterday we went to get Sophie's passport picture taken. Isn't it silly that babies have to have passports?

Blues Festival in Joseph, Oregon

We had a great time with Ben, Trisha and my dad & TJ at the Blues Festival. Sophie had fun too...her first piece of licorice and Uncle Ben playing with her constantly!
