The one with the bass pro shop.

We stayed up with Kenz and Tony for a few days and while we were there we went to the Bass Pro Shop. It's Tony's favorite place in the world so it was a must experience for us. We brought Tribbi who was the hit of the whole store for everyone. 

Which was bizzare to me. I live in utah. The land where children are the cutest. Haha. It was so funny to me to watch all the workers flip out about a dog. 

I was going to ony post one of these. But they are all hilarious to me because he is almost falling in all new ways. 

And yes. I should crop and edit these pictures. But holy cow. If you had 500+ pictures you just needed to blog you wouldn't either. 

That fuzzy pillow was lucas favorite thing in the store. Minus the bridge of course.

 

Luca and I rode the carousel--which he would have loved if it hadn't been so long. It was like a solid 5 minute ride. Which only bores a child. We switched animals several times. 

They were all Christmassy and had santa and everything. We didn't go and see santa because of Luca's men issues. That would have been no good. 

 

He pretended to "drive" the poles. He held onto that little ring the whole time. 

Uncle Tony showed him the ropes on some four wheelers. 

Seriously. Tribbi never had a moments peace. 

But you see that bell up there ^^ ? They pavlov-ed tribbi and he's so good at ringing the bell to go outside! Well done people. 

Mackenzie and I went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and by "dinner" I mean for the rolls. Yum. 

They had this BRILLIANT high chair that could sit on the bench but not let my child slip right out of it! Everywhere should have those. 

The one with the Martins of Ohio!

Tribbi and Luca played fetch. Luca did most of the fetching. 

Kenz scratched his back--he was in heaven. He sat there for it for several minutes. 

Kenz and Tony just bought the most adorable house--it was built in the early 1900s with an amazing yard!! Luca played out there with tribbi as much as I let him. 

And ate rocks. 

And followed the dog around. 

And I tried to make him swing. He didn't love that. So I swung instead. I did love it. 

Luca took longer to warm up to Tony than my dad--but that is completely normal for men lately. I'll never understand that. 

After a bit they were buds though. 

Uncle Tony helped him give the doggy a snack and let him climb all over him. 

They had so much fun. Tony will be a good daddy!! 

The one with old friends.

Well we headed back to Hilliard today. We left just after tony was done with court, and made it here by 1. We dropped tony off at his parents house and Luca, kenz and I met up with our old friends and old young women leaders, Misti, Andrea and Margo. We LOVE them!!! I so miss them in my daily life. They are such uplifting beautiful women. We just want to be them.

I would honestly move back here JUST to live by them again and get to see them more often. They are seriously wonderful. We just chatted and caught up on our lives for a few hours. Oh I miss these times. 

Kenz and Tony had to head back up earlyish because Tony had a detail tonight so he went to work. 

So we hung out with grandma and Nicole all night. We went to find shoes for Morgans wedding--which is on Saturday people!! Only 4 days away! 

We went to a few stores and then, not enthusiastically we went into Payless, just because it was there. I never find anything there. And what do you know? Perfect ones! Simple, and not too high of a heel that will kill me, or make me fall on my face, and on sale! Hooray! 

We came home and just lounged around and laughed at my babe the rest of the night. He's good entertainment. 

However. Bedtime. Oh the joys. It's even more fun now. He rolls. So he gets so worked up, rolls over, gets mad that he's rolled over, flips out even more, told back over and just continues the cycle for a bit. It's real fun. 

Tonight he settled to sleep on his tummy with his bum up in the air and off to the side a bit. Weirdo. 

He has also finally learned the joys of letting us tap on his mouth while he makes noises. It's so hilarious. He just keeps making the noises for it no matter what. Sometimes he gets mad when we stop, sometimes he's mad when we are doing it, but he keeps making the sounds for us! He's a good sport. 

I am seriously in love with these pants! They are my favorite. Oh my word. 

My mom got this for us at a girls camp auction! I love it! I've been wanting a cute one for so long!  I can't wait to put it up-minus the hair. This is the "Family, a Proclamation to the World."
