A Day Out With Becky

This afternoon Becky and I went out shooting again.  It is always fun to spend time her, talking about life, kids, and photos.  Here's what I came home with:

Leaps and Bounds

To my amazement, Eric has two teeth now, seemingly overnight.  They haven't seemed to give him much trouble.  In fact, it was my friend who noticed them when we went to visit.  In addition, along with his inchworming, Eric has discovered that he can pull himself up to things and stand.  It opened up a whole new world to him and he is no longer content with the ground.  He spends his days seeing what he can stand up next to, and I spend my days picking him back up after he falls, because he hasn't figured out the getting down part yet.  He is such a sweet little boy. He just constantly amazes me.  I am so grateful he is part of our family.

I don't need a nap, mom...

Nel's Birthday Celebration

Danielle's birthday was this week and my parents decided to come down and visit to celebrate.  This afternoon we went on a lovely hike to Battle Creek Falls.  It was a fairly short, but very beautiful hike.  Only slightly treacherous with the icy trail.  I will definitely do it again in the summer when we can rappel down the waterfall and play in the water.  Tonight we had a lovely dinner together and played games and watched a movie.  It is so fun to have family together.  I love watching Eric interact with everyone and getting to know them.  Thanks for coming Grandma Jo and Grandpa Curly!

And some pictures of the beautiful landscapes and creek...

Family Outing

Saturday we went up to Diamond Fork and did some shooting with Dave's new guns.  It was great fun!  The girls enjoyed using the BB gun to target shoot, and the grown ups enjoyed shooting clay pigeons and targets.  Eric was a good sport and let me do a little shooting before we retired to watch from the warm van.

Don't worry, I only had him on my back when I tried out the BB gun.  Doesn't he look like he's having a great time!

My Little Mover

Eric has just about mastered the art of crawling.  He moves about 2 "steps" and then stops, but he's getting so close!  He is growing so fast!  The cutest thing is how much he loves his sisters.  They are so good with him, and love making him laugh.

And more playing with my camera and photoshop...
