Stewart Falls

Josh and I took Ben on a hike up to stewart falls the other day. We love going here because it has been a place we go every year together. Lots of those good memories, and a short and beautiful hike to boot! This is where our engagements were taken right under the waterfall.

At the park!

Ben is still afraid of slides. Sometimes I can get him to go down with me if he's in my lap and we pretend we're a train. I keep telling myself one day he'll grow out of it and i'll realize how grateful I should have been for his careful attitude.

Sparklers

Our 4th and 24th mainly consisted of sparklers, smoke balls, and bloomin flowers, and a lot of them. Ben couldn't get enough of the smoke balls cause he loved the colors.

Bear Lake, Mark's Inn, and Park City trip

Ben can tap dance!

Oh man, this makes me laugh! Molly plays the music and Ben dances to the beat.

Guess he's growing up!

It's getting overwhelming thinking about how Ben is much smarter than both his parents. Until now Ben's progress always felt slow.... crawling at 9 months, walking at 15 months. But now that he's talking we can see he's learning fast. He knows his colors, numbers 1-10, shapes, and can practically carry out conversations. I think along with that he's learning to yell, hit and and say no to everyone, so i'm feeling the 2's coming on. It's amazing to think he'll be two in a few months. We love our little guy!

Bens first black eye

It probably appears like we beat our child because every week at nursery Ben has had another injury. This time being a black eye. The funny part is that he's not even a daring, crazy, or rowdy boy. He's the most cautious careful thing i've ever seen, he's just clumsy. Anyway, I was proud of his first black eye. I think it makes him a real boy!
