Climb Any Mountain...

My oh my, this little girl never stops wowing.  There is no question she belongs to us, fearless and always looking for adventure.  We knew that our stairs were a death trap, and we were going to have to figure a way to baby proof them at some point.  Today was the day.  Recently, Chesney has been trying to climb everything, and although daddy thought we could just gate the top and bottom of the stairs, I knew that she would insist on conquering all.  It took the little duck tail only two days, and she has mastered the mountain.

Rubber Ducky, You're The One...

Now that Miss Chesney is crawling, evening bath times are often necessary and kinda fun.  Aunt Susan gave us several toys including a wind up ducky and dolphin that splash and flip water around.  Daddy usually gets a bit of a bath too. We are looking into the next location for bath time since the sink is getting smaller somehow.  Yesterday, baby girl learned to clap her hands and also has started to climb the stairs.  Do they make a padded baby suit so you don't have to pad whole house? After a big crash last night with a remote control in hand, we now have a boo boo on little one's nose.  She will pull herself up on everything, but hasn't learned the consequences of falling...lots of tears in our future that mommy is not looking forward to.

More Adventures With Cousin 'Tine

First thing we did after picking Christine up from the airport was take her for a swim and a ski on Jordanelle Reservoir.  No time to lose, after all she is only here for five days.  Next, we drove the famous Mirror Lake Highway and stopped at the beautiful Provo Falls and many many other lakes for quick hikes.  And, just before we put her back on the plane, Chesney, Christine, and I decided to hike to the Timpanogos Caves.  A nice mile and a half stroll straight up the mountain.  Once inside we toured two caves that were quite amazing.  Thanks for coming Cuz, please come back and do lots more amazing things with us.  We love you!

Cousin Christine Came To Visit

 Christine came to visit a few weeks ago from Sacramento.  We were so excited to see her, and to LOTS of fun things while she was here.  Spent a day at Park City Mountain Resort playing on both the Alpine Slide and Coaster they have winding down the mountain.  We also took a speedy 45 mph run down the Zip Line.  Later that evening we attended an outdoor concert on the lower ski runs at Deer Valley Resort.
