Playing catch-up.

Sunday, June 23, 2013

Wow.
I haven't blogged in ages.
I promise I have one good excuse after the other.

1. We're still in a mad process of making our house homey.
2. I've been planning a baby shower.
3. I had one awful cold and before I completely recovered got a second, less-severe one. GAH.
4. Jack caught both colds too.
5. I'm vacationing this week in Utah.
6. We just barely got internet less than 2 weeks ago.
7. My iPhone broke so I haven't been taking as many pictures
[but I just got a new one so I promise I'll make up for it!]
8. Our computer is really old and shuts down randomly at least once a day then takes 30 minutes to boot up again. It makes blogging miserable.
6. I have been lazy.

But here I am, on vacation, blogging away.
You're welcome.

Enjoy our picture catch-up.

A few weeks ago we let Jack Jack lick his first beater covered in batter.
Needless to say, he loved it!




We celebrated my dad's 52nd birthday!

[I will have you know that cake and frosting were both made from scratch by yours truly. And this cake has been requested for next year's celebration. Winner.]

My gorgeous little sister graduated from high school...as Valedictorian!
She is headed off to BYU in August and, while I'm super excited for her, I'm also so sad to not have her living nearby!



 We've done some swimming on warmer days and Jack-o-lantern absolutely loves the water!


My BFF Kallie came to join us one day.
Please excuse my makeup-less face.
I accidentally left my makeup in the car which T took to work.










When I need Jack to not get into everything I stick him in his little walker that we are still borrowing from Grandma Wallace.
Unfortunately, it doesn't really keep him from getting into everything.
I dumped the clean laundry on the floor to fold it (I promise the floor was clean)
and Jack Jack dragged it all over.


...and ate it.

But he's cute so I forgave him :]

Speaking of being into everything...this kid walks along anything he can hold on to and gets to whatever he thinks he needs to tear apart.
By the way, he can totally walk without holding onto anything but opts for the safer way of walking haha



And when there is nothing to hold onto, he goes to his tummy and army crawls.
Yep, almost 11 months old and still no knee crawling.

Well.
Those are just the pictures from my camera.
More to come from my old iPhone and my new iPhone.

Utah Vacay: Day 3

Saturday, June 22, 2013

Day 3 of Utah Vacay might have been one of the busiest days of my life...
a very good busy day!
I hosted a baby shower for one of my cute BFF's, Chelsy.
She's only a little more than halfway but she's leaving Utah in about a month to move to TX...
plus this is the only week I was in town!
I love throwing parties so I was thrilled to throw Chelsy's shower!

We had simple & delish pink lemonade in pink glittered mason jars.



Dessert crepes galore.



And Chels got some ridiculously cute girls things.


Somehow I took zero pictures (stole these all from Chelsy)
and didn't get even one picture with the mama-to-be!
But I took this from her FB...
 How CUTE is she?!
Congrats, Chels! Can't wait to see a million pictures of Baby Girl Downs!

After the shower, some lunch, and a few episodes of Friends to unwind
we hiked the Y with my sibs.
Uncle Ryan & Uncle Taylor were so nice to carry Jack in the hiking backpack the entire way.
Let me tell you...it was not easy!


 PS Mama fail - when we got to the trail head I realized that I had left the sun shade of the hiking backpack at Ryan & Rachel's apartment! I didn't want to waste half an hour going back to get it so I lathered the kid in sunscreen and crossed my fingers.
Thank goodness he didn't end up burned even though he refused to wear his (super cute Ralph Lauren Polo) hat and would NOT let me put a blanket over his head.








Sweet little boy fell asleep on the way down.


...But he woke up on time for In N Out.
I'm pretty sure it's his favorite.



After In N Out I got to meet up with some of my soccer girls from Utah Sol!
I seriously miss them SO much.
We enjoyed delicious Cold Stone and caught up on the last year of life.






I seriously wish I could have coached these girls all the way through high school.
They are some of the most amazing girls ever.
Miss them to pieces.
Oh...and Jack Jack was in heaven among all these cute girls!
