Dirt Child

Eric got off early on Friday so we decided to go to lunch and go for a little hike.  We went to Big Spings Trailhead.  You just go through Vivian Park in Provo Canyon till you get to Big Springs Park. Great for little kids and I had no idea all that picnic area was up there!  It's free but there aren't any fire pits, unfortuantley.

Marble in a bottle and Charlie smiles!

Look another post!  I have to do something with my pictures. So on Monday, we went to a Japanese restaurant in Lehi called East Moon or something like that.  I think there is a good chance they won't survive because we were the only ones there.  Eric ordered sushi that was GIANT but a bit too fishy for me. I ordered this Veggie and Shrimp Tempura rice bowl.  Turns out Tempura is fried. It was not what I was expecting but it was pretty good. 

 

 

 

Check out this bottle!  You have to press a plunger down to pop out a marble to drink out of the glass bottle.  It's hard to see but there is a marble in the top part.  Too bad it tasted like grape medicine but it was worth it for the marble. (It was $3 in case you are wondering but I just saw them at Smith's for $1.50 and they had other flavors.)

 

This was the best, they had trainer chopsticks for kids!  Mabel is practicing with this pink penguin set.  Pretty stinkin' cute.

 

This is my hair cut picture I took for my mom.  It's a bit flat because this was day 2 of the wash cycle and I'm not wearing make up so please forgive.  I love it though.  I'm pretty sure this is my favorite hair style I've ever had and I'm happy to be taking a break from bangs.

 

Charlie started talking and smiling!  I couldn't figure out how to add the video  so this is the picture version.  :(  (When I select the video to add it, nothing comes up.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?) 

 

 

And you might have already seen this on instagram but I like it so much. She's my little buddy.

 

Picture Dump

While we are catching up, it seems I skipped over a bunch of stuff!  Here are some more pictures from the last year from my phone.

Catching Up

Well, shucks.  Maybe I should post something since it's been a while...  the two biggest updates are that we moved and we had baby Charlie.  I did take a few pictures but not much.  To get caught up, here are the pictures:

I've been working super hard on losing the baby weight and signed up for a mud run in September.  We also went camping when Charlie was 4 weeks old.  Grandma Keele came to visit  and help out and Eric's sister, Jessica, is here for the summer.  I'm sure there is lots of other stuff I'm missing but we are just going to pretend we are all caught up and hopefully I will do better at documenting our activities.  Also, I think Eric has more pictures so I will do another picture dump once I get a hold of those.
