Pedicures, a parade, and a house update.

June 4 

Mother's Day pedicures, round 2.

I didn't get one, since my AL pedi was still pretty good, but I was there. I neglected to snap any action pics of Britt and Shi, or even a final product pic, but I DID snap a pic of our after-pedi treat ;-)



Love these mommas so much ♥

Eagle Mountain parade with the Andersons

This was one of those good old fashioned small town parades with candy throwing - I love that. We found a single tree for shade, but the Andersons also came prepared with umbrella chairs.


I may or may not have tripped - and fell - in front of lots of peeps. Good news is that I did not sustain injuries or holes in my clothes with my fall :-)



I was bummed to miss the full pic of Lightning McQueen


Can you tell I love marching bands in parades?




Scarlett picked flowers on the walk back to the car.





L dug into his candy stash.


Later that day I packed up my stuff and made my way to Shi and Kody's home for a stay. They so kindly took me to a local shaved ice place so I could get my fix ;-)


I'm not sure if CalB had tried shaved ice before...




Cal... it's JUST. SO. GOOD.



He must've liked it, because we snapped some darling pics of a very happy boy as we finished up.




For my own personal record-keeping, here's quick run through of house progress over the past couple of months:

(I realized this day that the wall to the right of the door was in the wrong place. Boy oh boy, that was the cause of some anxiety. Luckily our construction manager was willing to get it moved before the floor went in. I am forever grateful.)

A Tuesday with Scarlett.

 Scarlett and I had planned a date to have lunch, go bowling, and to shop for her Birthday gift. One of my favorite things is to spend one-on-one time with my grands. I hope to make opportunities like this often with each of these precious little souls I love so much.

Scarlett chose Panda Express for lunch, and we found the perfect table outside to enjoy our food.




Then we went to Fat Cats to bowl. Scarlett had her game on.




And the big winner is... Scarlett!




We hit up Walmart after bowling to browse the toy aisles. After some deliberation, Scarlett chose a convertible high chair/baby carrier/swing and two baby dolls.




Scarlett is at the golden age of childhood, where she will remember some things for the rest of her life, but she is so innocent and sweet. I keep thinking of the Taylor Swift song,

Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up,
it could stay this simple...

But growing and growth are necessary, so I'm going to just soak up and appreciate this sweet age of Wonderful Sweet Scarlett. I know I will love the grown-up Scarlett just as much, if not more ♥
