A very Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas was awesome this year.

it is a thousand times more fun when you have kids!!

even though Sophie had no idea what was going on it was still fun to watch her excitement when the wrapping paper was crinkled in front of her and watch her trying to eat it.

she got a highchair, some toys and a couple of outfits. I was spoiled as usual and got everything that I asked for!!! Thank you Santa!!! Corey got some awesome things too!!

we had a good day and then got to spend the evening with the Hallidays.

we ate Thanksgiving dinner and it was yummy!!

Thank you everyone for all the gifts and all the yummy food!!

Merry Christmas.

Goodbye to another great year!!!

Oh man I am having the hardest time letting go of Christmas. I dont want to change my blog take down my tree or blog about our fabulous christmas because I dont want it to be over. I am depressed when I turn on the radio and no longer hear the joyous music of the holidays. I cant believe we are about to enter 2008. it makes me sad that we all have to grow up. here are two slide shows of the wonderful year we had in 2007.

A look back at the First half

Second half!!

Can you say "Different"?

So my little sister Jessica just returned home from a humanitarian medical mission to Peru. she spent 10 days trekking through the Amazon jungle assisting a doctor in all sorts of different things. 25 medical students from the country are picked to go and she was one of them. WOW!! her stories are amazing!! while she was gone it made me realize how completely different we are. I am what you would call a typical "Utah" mommy. I want 5 kids a nice house in the suburbs a white picket fence and yes I will probably end up driving a mini van!! YIKES!! I have never loved to work or go to school. I love hanging out at home, making yummy things, doing crafts to make my house cuter and now just recently being a mom!! the thought of leaving my family and the comforts of home to go do what she did gives me a stomach ache. I do love adventurous things but I am a last minute, spur of the moment sky diving kind of women. I guess I am a closet thrill seeker. any way I just think she is awesome and I love how different we are. it makes the world and our family a little more interesting. I am grateful Heavenly Father makes us all so different. I am grateful for Jessica and look up to her so much!! she is awesome!!

5 months & a trip to Temple Square!!

We braved the cold and made our yearly trip to Temple Square!!

it was really pretty & sophie loved the lights.

she was bundled in her stroller and was really toasty every where except her nose!!

Daddy thought that he could keep her warmer by holding her.

even though I am sure she was warm enough in her stroller!!

love you babe!!

We ate dinner at arbys before we went.

Sophie also turned 5 months.

here is what life is like with a 5 months old.

She has really started to show us her independent side. she loves to put her own pluggy in her mouth and is constantly taking it in and out. we dont go through a day without a gut busting laugh. rice cereal and sweet potatoes have become a part of her expanding menu. we wake up to lots of smiles and lots of chattering. she has learned a new trick and thinks that "Fake Coughing" is the greatest thing she has learned. she likes to do it when we arent paying attention to her because with out fail we will always laugh. she is so close to rolling from her back to her stomach and has already mastered going from her stomach to her back. she loves to play with her toys and will sit and watch the entire 30 min of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with a huge smile on her face. she loves to stand up when we hold her and wants to see and know everything that is going on around her.

I love being her mommy and cant believe she has been alive for almost half a year. she is such a sweet baby and every day I love her more. I am so grateful she is in my life.

Webb Christmas Party

The Webb Family Christmas party was on sunday.

we have been having this party for as long as I can remember.

its fun because everyone comes so I get to see cousins I dont see very often.

Sophies very first Christmas present.

It was a book from Great Grandma Webb.

She loved the paper!!

This Santa & Mrs Claus have come every year and I swear they never look any different.

Sophie, Grammy & Gramps
Sophie & her Auntie Tori.
Her auntie Loves her so much!!!
she could hold her all day long.
She is always so excited to see her and is the first one to ask if she can hold her.
I think they are going to be the best of friends!
Thankfully we made it through this year with no brawls!!! :)
Its fun to have such a big family.
there are over 150 of us and we fill up an entire ward gym.
the first time Corey came to this party he asked me if I was related to everyone there.
he was amazed at how many people there were.
