By The Way

This is where I will be in 12 weeks!

FOREVER

I know its been forever. I am a person who likes to blog about pictures. So I have decieded to blog about a couple of phots that are on my phone.

First the big purchase. We finally bought a sectional. I have always wanted one and found a great deal on KSL. I highly recommend buying off KSL. Our new (well new us) couch is super cozy, and Luke can loung out and watch sports while Sophia and I still have plenty of room doing our own thing as well.

In this picture you will also notice Sophia TRYING to play with our cats. Ever since my brother got a dog, Sophia has been confused to why our cat will not play tug-a-war, eat the treats shoved in his mouth, or why he does not get all hyper when Sophia runs around on all fours and barks like a dog ( Thanks Shane, for teaching Sophia new tricks)

My next picture is of Sophia (of course) swinging. We live right next to fairmont park. I try to walk up there when ever the weather is nice. Sophia is defiantly our little dare devil.

I love where we live. I could see us staying in our little house for some time. We are close to everything. I am already getting Spring Fever looking forward to walking everywhere.

My last picture is another of Sophia. I like to call her my "spirited" child. She loves to be on the go. Luke's dad made the comment "does she ever sit down to eat"

The answer is no. We always have to be on the go. This morning Sophia thought it would be a good idea to move her breakfast to her chair instead of table. I guess this way she was closer to her Shadow that she was playing with all morning!

WOW!!

Can you believe what is going on right now? WOW things sure are changing. I took this picture over the fourth of July. We were heading up to Boise and stopped to fill up. I died at the gas prices. For sure I thought we would hit the $5/gallon mark. Now less then 6 months later some places are at $1.20/gallon. I hope friends and family are doing well through these tough times.

Climber

Sophia has found a new love, climbing. It does not matter what it is, she will climb it. Not only are we climing thing we have figured out that everything moves and we can climb on one thing to reach up to the next

Halloween

The weekend was great! Sophia was able to go trick or treating twice. The sitter took her to the mall to trick and treat and then Luke and I took her in the evening. She LOVED it!! I am sure she ate enough candy for the year. She looked adorable in her flower costume. On Sat Luke and I went to the Jazz game. It was nice to go out on a "date" Thanks to Jill for babysitting and coming home to a sleeping baby and a clean house.

Lately Sophia has been gaining more of a girly girl personality. She has started to love to play dress up. It all started when I bought her a winter coat. It has the fake fur around the hood. She just laughs and laughs when she is wearing it. Now we have moved on to the hat of her Halloween costume. She will wear it and run around the house, also the same applies to her tutu. I know the pictures are blurry but try taking a picture of a hyper 1 year old with your camera phone :)

Petting Zoo

On Sat we went to the petting zoo at Garder Village. Sophia LOVED it. The whole time she kept walking around saying "Oooooo" I was surprised how melow the animals are. Kids were just pulling on their fur (at least Sophia was) and they would just lay there. Poor animals everyday they are subjsct to tiny fingers grabbing at them.
