Timp Cave, Provo Canyon, and a Splash Park

By -
We hiked up to Timpanogos Cave the day before it closed for trail maintenance. It brought back a memory of the only other time I've been up there. We were dating and Andrew took me because he knew how cool it was, and one of the employees there asked if we were married. That was awkward. It's funny now. Oh, and we saw a rattle snake. I don't mind garter snakes, but poisonous snakes freak me out.  Especially if it is looking right at me.
I love living so close to Provo Canyon. It really never gets old. We attempted to get some family pictures by using the tripod and delay setting. Look at the beauties we walked away with.
There's A LOT more where that came from. I only look stupid in the next one because I was successful at working hard to get Leah to stay still and smile. We'll have to try it another time.
Leah was much happier when we just let her play. She was so excited when she got to touch the water. Then she tried to drink from it.
I invited myself to Linda's place to go swimming in her pool. I love it when she's off-track. Only to find out that we were locked out of the pool. So we went to the neighborhood Splash Park instead.
I think I look like Linda in this.  Because I cut my hair? Or because I'm wearing her bright yellow shirt?

    Ha! Leah strangely seems to have grown since the last pictures. I like the timed group portrait attempts -- especially the 'successful' pic, since you (Karen) have a "it better work, this time" look, and you (Andrew) have a "C'est la vie" look :)

    Those family picture attempts are so funny! And I totally thought that the yellow shirt picture was Linda until you said it was you! So I guess that means you do look like her in that picture. Sorry I'm a bad friend and totally forgot to get back to you about us getting together. I'll look at my calendar and send you a message on facebook!

Our Little Monkey

We call Leah our little monkey because she does the Mowgli crawl: She's obsessed with the dishwasher, and today she learned a new trick (sorry about the tall video—we're still learning): So in addition to worrying about the monkey crawling around, we now have to worry about her climbing up, too.

End of February

How can today be the last day of February already?  It still feels like the year just started. Andrew had his birthday. Yay for getting older! Life can only get better, right? We have a tradition of getting together with Ken and Jen (my old roommate and her man) to eat at Tucanos. Tucanos has a "Birthday Club," which means that if you sign up, they'll send you a paper for a free meal. It's on the pricier side to eat there, so I'm a fan of the "Birthday Club." We started this tradition back when we were dating because Andrew and Ken both have birthdays in February. We met up with Ken, Jen, Tyler, and Linda for our annual February Tacanos dinner on Friday night. Leah was really tired, so we didn't do anything afterward. We had scheduled it for two weeks earlier, but I ended up feeling really sick the night before and didn't get much sleep. I was not in the mood to eat anything, so we postponed. It was fun when it finally happened though. :) On hi...

Writing

I thought I should share a few pictures on the ol' blog. A special thanks to pinterest for the brilliant idea of putting papers in sheet protectors for kids to trace. Leah has already dried out one expo marker since this morning. I'm going to need to limit how much she can play with it. I didn't want her to just scribble everywhere like she does with coloring books. So this morning I sat down and started tracing letters myself. She's a jealous soul when I don't invite her to play with me. It worked like a charm.
