Creeper

Dang it. She's been getting around for a little while now, but I was hoping she would forget somehow. Savor the immobility!

I heart Avocado

Last week I decided Maggie was finally ready for some "real" food (now that she's five and a half months but I swear it happened over night). So I threw some avocados in the blender and gave her some. The first two days she wasn't quite sure about it, but now she scarfs it like a champ!

Maybe she won't be a picky eater?

Bridal Veil Falls

Mom, Abby, Ethan, and Carly *sorry Carly :o*

Maggie and Xander chompin'

Last night we grabbed some burgers and headed up Provo Canyon to see the falls. (Obviously that is not my photo, it was too dark and mine didn't turn out). It was so beautiful, even Xander appreciated it. He kept saying "Huge mountains!" It was a nice little hike, even though it got in the 50s by the time we left.
I never really appreciated the mountains til I didn't have them anymore and it was wonderful to spend some time there with family.

Ride

Xander has always LOVED motorcycles. Probably because he remembers when we had our last ones. I'll never forget when Scott sold his and Xander screamed and bawled when the guy rode off with it.
He was so excited for a motorcycle ride with Grandpa, it was almost too much fun for him to handle. He even got to wear a (vintage) helmet. Thanks, Grandpa!

The Eyebrow

I've always wanted to be able to do this....four months old and Maggie's got it down! Actually, I didn't even realize she was doing it until I was looking through the pictures. Funny girl.

Olympics Fan

Aren't the Olympics exciting? (Especially when there's really nothing else on tv) So we've been watching them quite a bit. Xander found this somewhere, I think it's Ethan's, and knew exactly what to do with it. He ran around yelling "ta-daaa!"
