Water Baby

Charlie is super busy these days! He loves talking, running, Thomas the Train, and general exploration of everything. Water is one of his favorite things. I filled up a few tubs with water the other day, and cut him loose on tha back patio. Who would have thought water, an old Rubbermaid and a few kitchen tools would have made for so much fun.

My First Blog Rant

I don't eat gluten. So, snacks are hard to come by. I was thrilled to come across these new Gluten Free Chocolate Snack Bars. Until I opened one, that is. What I pulled out of the packaging was more like a snack CUBE, then BAR.

I am so angry! I usually don't get upset about these things. But really, come on. You have to shop in the special hippie section on the grocery store, pay 2x as much and you get what!

Look at the picture on the box

Then look at the size of the wrapper

Then look at the little thing that was inside the wrapper

Ridiculous! Almost comical.....almost. :)

4th of July, and Tucson Road Trip

It seems that time has gotten away from me again in regards to updating our blog!

We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend here in Flagstaff. We went to 2 BBQ's, the BBQ festival in Williams, and the horse races. Charlie was our lucky charm for betting at the races. He picked all the winners for the 4 races that we watched!

Last week Charlie and I tagged along with G.Ma down to Gilbert and Tucson. We got to see Aunt Becky and swim in her pool. Then on to Tucson where we had our first Eegees, La Parilla, and did some more swimming. G.ma and I took Charlie to the butterfly exhibit at the Tucson Batanical Gardens...only to find all of the butterflies had been eated by lizards the day before we got there. Good thing they had a water wall to play on!

Charlie is 15 months at the end of this month. He is SUCH a joy, and keeps us laughing. Everything is "dis?" and "dat?". He is learning to use a spoon all by himself (hence the lovely yogert pictures), and is quite the explorer these days. He has no fear, and is constantly on the move. I just love him!
