Inception

Have you seen this movie?



Whoa. We scored free movie tickets and were able to watch this movie. It was an awesome experience.

"I was nervous the entire time," says Lindsey. "I give it 5 stars!" If you know Lindsey, she's not easily impressed when it comes to movies. "This was the best movie I saw in the theatres since The Lion King." (Okay maybe that's a slight exaggeration--but not by much.)

"Whoa" --Dave. "It gives a whole new meaning to interpreting dreams."

"Mommy!" says Sophie. Okay, she didn't see it, but that's what she says all the time.

What did you think about it?

Les Poissons, Les Poissons! Hee Hee Hee Hua Hua Hua

Utah Trip

Here is Dave with his new friend, Paul. We met him at this side-of-the-road hamburger/hotdog and fishing stand.
Note: Sophie did NOT like Paul.

Dave, Lindsey, and Brigham Young.

We had the amazing opportunity to go to education week at BYU with some family. Let me just say this: It's a wonderful feeling taking whatever classes you want and not worry about assignments and homework.

The Melvilles. She's having a baby though you can't tell from the picture (or in person for that matter.) I hope I'm allowed to say.

Sophie & Kennedy. Yes, Sophie is eating her shirt.

We spent A LOT of time with some of our cousins this past summer. One cousin in particular has taught Sophie the word "Mine!" Soph uses it often. :)

Other things Sophie has been saying a lot (just a few):

• "I Don't Know"
• Prayers
  (muttering and saying Mommy and Daddy while folding arms)
• "Go!"/" Go?"
• "Mommy!"
  (Apparently 'mommy' just means 'Someone pay attention to me now!")
• "One, Two, Threeeeeee!"
• "Please", "Cheese" (they sound almost identical)
• "W" (I could have sworn I heard her sing along with the ABCs song and say 'w')
• "Doing?"
  (What are you doing?)
• "Apple"

Things she sings:

• "Ee-I-Ee-I-O!"
• "Clean Up! Clean Up!"
  (But it sounds more like "Pick up! Pick Up!"

"Home" in Arizona

Dave, Sophie, and I are glad that the temperatures have been dropping. We've been taking advantage of this with lots of nice walks. We love the desert and all it's surprises --Including cactus flowers and fruit.

Raise your hand if you love the desert!
