Late Mornings

Sometimes Zach goes out of town for a couple days for work so he tries to schedule his trips so that he can fly out late and fly in early to spend more time with us! This morning, we went to go get donuts! Too bad Dunkin Donuts are literally the most disgusting donuts I've ever eaten and did NOT hit the spot! I should have done more research for a specialty donut shop, but we didn't have that much time and apparently Utah is lacking in the donut department. LAME!

But Georgie still provided many faces to keep us entertained. 

 I call this one The Angry Eater:

 At least Georgie found it finger-lickin-good!

And Boston can be found like this these days:

 He is so close to rolling over! I swear it was much sooner than Georgia. He's a mover.

B Money Lately

This little Byoo is SOOO BALD!!! Ahhhh what I wouldn't do for a baby with tons of hair! ;) 

 He loves his Momma and gives lots of smiles! But as I've been told, he is a flirt and will smile at almost anyone. He isn't shy like Georgia was as a babe. This picture cracks me up. I turned for two seconds and Georgia had slipped that little Asian bracelet (a gift from my mom in Taiwan) up his arm. She knows how important it is to accessorize!! 

I also moved some things around and finished (for now) his room. These three little pictures were the cherry on top! I love how they turned out. 

He is still so "petite" and has a tiny head. But it is beautifully shaped and proportionate to his littleness. This time has been fun!! And it's about to end. (waaaaah)

Off-roading in "Springerville"!

Uncle Cal is about the coolest guy I know and I would hang out with him any day, even a weekend!! He's that cool. We don't get down there often enough so we planned to go hang out with him in Springville one weekend and go off-roading in his Polaris Ranger. 

We started the Saturday off at Costco first though! Georgia has the ear plugging thing down:

 And then the classic blowout from Bos. Yes it got on me too. 

 Not happy about having to go home for an outfit change:

 And we just have this whole diaper thing down! 

 Georgie and her soaked diaper. We are 0 for 2 so far. 

 And didn't even bring a CLEAN diaper!!! We slapped a swim diaper on her and crossed our fingers! Classy. 

 We are a little bit crazy. Aunt Tony is a baby lover, but she was out of town that weekend. But it didn't stop us! We just strapped the kiddos on in and went anyway! Little did I know the labor that was in store for me...

Daughter daddy selfies:

Pre-crazy:

 This is me not sure at all about strapping my 3 month old into the back seat of an ATV and my 18 month old into the front seat:

But then we came across this view after seeing handfuls of cows, sheep, deer, and other animals:

Amazing!

 And this girl, in nothing but her swim diaper and tank, was content on throwing dirt for days.

So happy it hurts? :)

 Unbelievably dirty!

 So wonderful. She really was in heaven though.

The best tour guide in all the land!

Uncle Cal loves Georgia! And she is... less than excited about it :) haha

Hobblecreek Canyon is beautiful and we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful state. I tried to focus on this and not the dirt in my ears and crunching around in my teeth.

SOME of the aftermath:

Dirt snot for days. Literally. 

I kept Boston's whole seat covered with blankets but even he had dirty snot. 

You can't really tell but Georgia is covered in dirt. Crazy! 

She loved the whole thing. Who wouldn't be, sandwiched in-between two handsome men?! She was so cute, she had her foot stuck in Cal's lap on the steering wheel the entire night, just happy as could be! 

It was a LONG night! We didn't get back till well after dark, and of course we had to stop at Sonic and get some shakes and chili cheese fries! Yum! 

When we finally did get home, it was 10pm and Georgia went straight to the bath while I took off all the carseat covers and threw them into the wash and then Zach and I hosed down both carseats. They were FILTHY. I can't believe how much dirt gets everywhere! I could feel it in my hair. I was so happy to finally hop in the shower after everyone was clean. Except poor Bos! I was just hoping that I kept him covered enough to wait for a bath in the morning cause I was just too dang tired. It was a fun crazy night, but we won't be bringing kids again... way too much aftermath labor! I love hanging out with Cal and I was a bit sad to take the backseat. I missed out on all the good stories and laughs. He's is a good guy if I ever knew one! Even if he does consistently call me Georgia :) haha we love you Cal! 

Georgia Bean 18 Months

Some days, we have our crap together. 

Like, we are acceptable to the public eye. 

Love this polka dot baby lady! She looks like she's pickin a wedgie but really it's just her chubby waddle :) 

  Her fishie face:

 She was havin a blast playing outside the Provo house in the sunshine.

 She looks like she's doing the salsa!!

And other days, we just fly by the seat of our pants!!!

And we just stay in jammies all day with no accessories (gasp!)

Her favorite place to sit whenever I'm nursing or hanging out on the couch. Just look at that oh-so-cute A-line mullet!!! :)

 Stickers buy me some good quiet time.

 And so does a smoothie and the iPad!

 Ok MOST days... we just get by :)

Even when she's a Sass Pants, she makes me laugh! 

We spend most afternoons playing outside and waiting for daddy to get home while Bos sleeps and a  lot of other cars and people and dogs go by during that time. Today, at least 2 little girls with small puppies walked past our house and Georgia got so excited! But when they didn't even stop to say hi, she plopped down on the driveway and laid down all pouty like it was the worst day of her life. hahaha she's so funny!

 Feeling rejected:

Is it just me or do jammies and jelly shoes just go hand in hand!! Classy.

 I seriously have way too much fun with her in those few but dragging minutes before daddy gets home.

"Chiiiiiiiz!" (is how she says it) 

Her faces are SO silly! I'll just post them all! Regardless of my homeless state.

 I love her complete mix of emotions. So serious and so crazy.

 She thought it was hilarious to climb up a few steps and scare the crap out of me by jumping on to my shoulders when I wasn't expecting it.

I just love her too much! And I love my time with her. She brings me so much joy these days and just lights up my day when I'm feeling crappy/stressed/annoyed. 

Things About Georgie:

• She loves to sing. She sings lots of theme songs from the shows she watches like Bo on the Go!, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. 
• She loves to copy her favorites scenes in movies. One of my favorites being, the Croods. There are few parts where they talk about the "end of the world" and go "duh, duh, DUHHHH!" and does it every time right along with it on cue, then runs around doing it randomly through out the day. I love it.
• She is catching on the fact that kisses get her what she wants, so instead of begrudgingly giving us the tiniest peck, she's quick to give us lots of loves when we ask for it :) 
• She is still OBSESSED with going outside! Hangs out by the door and begs like a dog. Or gets super upset if she sees daddy go outside to take the trash out or start the grill. She has to be outside too or it's game over! And always without fail, she has a massive melt down when we bring her inside. It's lovely. 
• She is a stinker and loves to pay attention to Boston when she knows it's quiet time. She senses it. Like we walk past his closed door as he's sleeping and she automatically goes "AWWW, AWWW, AWWWW!!!" extra loud. Other than that, she still doesn't pay too much attention to him - only to rile us or him up!! She loves to poke his face and say "nooooose. eyyyyes." I'm still crossing my fingers he won't end up blind someday from Big Sis.  
• Every time she hears a dog bark or sees a dog (or sometimes a baby boy hahaha) she will perk up and start panting and licking the air like a retard because that's what Zach taught her to do and it's hilaaaaarious. Cracks me up so much. 
• Still speaking Alien. She learns new words/phrases/songs every day and can copy a lot of things that we say but still a lot of jibberish! 
• Her favorite game to play is still running from me or daddy, whoever wants to chase her and tickle her. And she STILL gets hiccups every time she laughs and occasionally burps in your face if she's laughing and hiccuping too hard. 
• She is a pretty quick runner and I love hearing her pitter patter throughout the house

There's so much more, I couldn't name them all. But I love the clever, funny, silly things she does every day. Little things that let us know she's watching us every day all day. Like stealing my make up brushes and put them on her eyes and face. Or going up to daddy and giving him a kiss and then exclaiming "ok! Byyye!" and walking downstairs, because that's what daddy does every morning. Or drinking a whole Dr. Pepper without stopping to breathe cause she just loves the soda like her momma! She's my favorite and I'm so happy to have her.
