Park City

At the last minute Ben was offered his bosses time share in Park City for a few nights. We jumped on the opportunity! We had so much fun. We walked up and down main street, went to the outlets, the candy store, out to dinner, slept in, and didn't have to clean up! I was in heaven. I didn't want to come home. It was so much fun. I loved not having to worry about one thing except spending time with my two favorite people...

10 Months

Eliza at 10 months...
curious about everything
would rather hold a popsicle until it melts than eat it
had haircut number two
survived the heat of st. george
attended her first Tolman family reunion 
loves swimming, swings, bike rides, smoothies
always playing with doorstops (and sucking on the ends)
points
stands up without holding on to anything
understands no and is testing it
throws everything
puts food on lap when done eating
drinks from a straw
snuggles anything soft
got her first crew cuts clothes
goes straight to moms makeup when she sees even a crack in the door
suffered first facial wound
pulls the funniest face with smile and squished nose
growing up too fast









I sometimes wake in the early morning and listen to the soft breathing of my baby and I think to myself, this is one thing I will never regret and I carry that with me all day long.

Drive In

Ben had the best idea...the drive in! We figured we could just let Eliza sleep through the movie. To wear her out we went to the Gallivan Center and walked around there. Then we went to a park up by the U and played there. We put her in her pj's and headed to the theater. She fell asleep in the car and slept for the first little bit of the movie. Then she just played on the floor of the car the rest of the time. She loved it! It was a fun adventure!

Let Freedom Ring

We had a fun filled fourth.
1- The annual breakfast at Uncle Craig and Aunt Charlene's house.
2- Swimming at Grandpa Welling's pool for the first time this summer.
3- Lunch at the Hodgkinson's
4- Nap
5- BBQ at G & G Tolman's
6- Fireworks with the neighborhood.
Oh, and lots and lots of pictures of our little firework.
I couldn't help myself.
Those cheeks.
Those eyes.
That giant bow.
Those pants.

Dancing Queen

Bananas for bananas

Fun in the sun

Eliza loves to play outside.
I love to watch her play.
And I am trying to learn how to take better pictures.
She's a great subject.
