A Hot Friday and Elise's Bridal Shower


Friday started with another jog with my mom but we decided to take Mabel and the jogging stroller.  Boy, that was not as fun as I thought it would be.  I was feeling week and Mabel was throwing a fit because she didn't want to be in the stroller.  We went 2 miles before I gave up and let her out.  Then she walked a mile with us and after I wouldn't hold her anymore, she was okay to get back into the stoller and watch Netflix on my phone.  (I should have thought of that sooner.) We did get to jog the last mile back but I didn't get that sense of freedom I usually go for.  The good news is that it was a beautiful trail and it is always to great to hang out with my mom and Mabel.  She's cute even when she's a stinker. 

Eric went to some meetings Friday so we went grocery shopping and then when to hang out at my parents house.  It was HOT so we let Mabelmoo get naked and play in the water.


Snacking on some peanuts and watching Mabel from the shade


 

 
Mabel wanted to still be in the pool even after it was emptied.  Naked time is the best. Then we watched an episode of Super Natural.  I'm getting my mom hooked on it. :)
 
Saturday was Elise's bridal shower!  I was incharge of the Sangria (Elisa loves that stuff).  It was apple juice concentrate, grape juice, sparkling water, lemons, limes, oranges and apples.  It was pretty strong stuff but she liked it so I was happy.  Check out all of the fruit in that!
 
 
My sister-in-law, Jenn, hosted and made awesome sugar cookies for little fruit pizzas.  They were amazing and I really struggled with not eating more than one!


 Ha this is Elise with a huge wad of bubble gum.  Jenn asked Aziz questions and for everyone Elise answered wrong, she had to eat a piece of gum and for everyone she got right, she got a dollar. In the end, Jenn gave her all of the ones anyway but I thought it was a cute idea to reward the correct answers!


In Elise's words "a pretty good haul!" Elise was so grateful and we can't wait for the wedding in August!

 
This week, Eric's mom is coming into town so we are meeting her for lunch on Wednesday and then we are going camping with my family up American Fork Canyon.  I'm SO excited.  Stay tuned for camping picutes and the 4th of July!
 
 
 
Anyone doing anything fun for the 4th?
