One year old today and just a delight to have in the family. She crawls at a crazy pace and just loves going up stairs. She always rushes over to the bottom step and then turns around to make sure we’re watching. As soon as we make eye contact she’s off in a mad dash to the top.
She recently discovered graham crackers and just devours them with a grin. She loves talking and can say “uh oh” in the right context. She recognizes her name when called. She’s just a joy to have. Her personality is really starting to shine.
I really wanted her to wear this little hat but she would yank it off instantly. I barely snagged this.
Well, it’s time to stay home. I’m actually pretty excited about the idea of keeping my kids home. They drive me crazy about half the time but that’s okay because the other half of the time it’s just incredible to see them become the little people that they are. Here’s to lots of playing and laughs and movie nights!
Winter is long, and exhausting and this weekend we had had enough. So we took off to St. George to stay with Kurt. Our first stop was the Train Park which is always a hit.
My cousin Fran mentioned on one of my Instagram posts that the Gerber baby contest 2020 was underway. I thought “why not?” and entered this little cute baby. Hey! She’s adorable and the grand prize is $25,000.
Today Emmett, Elle, and I went on an adventure. We started out at Orem Central Station and took the FrontRunner one stop south to Provo. The kids were so excited to climb aboard, and then head to the upper deck of the passenger car. Their faces were glued to the window the whole way.
After arriving in Provo we connected to the new UVX bus line and rode the bendy-bus to Provo Towne Center Mall. That was also fun for the kids, and it was a short ride over to the Mall.
Our first stop was the Food Court for some Pizza and BBQ. The Pizza was your typical faux-NY Style food court pizza, but the BBQ was great. On a sad note, right next to the BBQ joint was Panda Express and there were about 10 people in line while nobody was in line at BBQ. PEOPLE. DON’T BE LIKE THAT.
Go here. Not Panda Express.
After lunch it was time to play and we headed over to the play area. But! There was a train! Of course the kids had to go for a ride.
Before too long it was time to head back home the way we came. Back to the Bus, the train, and finally home.
I love the perspective and scale of this photo. I just dig it.We arrived at the train early so we had the pick of the seats. Elle wanted a table and out came the Cheerios. The kids were mostly good at keeping them off the floor…
