Baby Jade loves her feet. It's that simple. So you can imagine my frustration trying to feed her messy baby food in her bouncy chair, meanwhile, food getting all over her feet, which she of course has put in her mouth. So.....we got her a booster chair.
She really seems to like it, and she can't put her feet in her mouth while she's eating, which is great!
Friday night we went with our friends the
Saragers, the
Shilligs, and
Marlyse to Smokehouse. It's a
barbeque place downtown, it was delicious. I had the pulled pork sandwich with a side of mac and cheese and Dan had the beef brisket with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. All for under 20 bucks. Granted, they give you paper napkins and even plastic utensils but it was
delish. Afterward, we went to Smart Cookie. Please, if you haven't been there, go! You can get an ice cream sandwich on homemade cookies for $2! Custom made with any cookies and any ice cream. So here is a family pic we took on the love sac at Smart Cookie.
This picture is just sort of random but as we were driving down University, toward the canyon I just realized how much I love the mountains in Utah. When we were in Minnesota the mountains were one of the things I missed most. I didn't realize how much I love them until they weren't there. I love how useful they are for finding your way around too. I always know the mountains are in the east.
My little brothers came to hang out with me Saturday. We had a fun but uneventful day just
chillin' watching Saturday morning cartoons into the late afternoon. We snacked on pizza and watched Tom and Jerry. I forget how hilarious those cartoons are.
Jade and cousin Rylee. Rylee is tenderhearted and tends to cry easily, she is a sweetheart though and warmed up to Jade eventually. Toward the end of the trip she would even say "HI Jade!". It was so adorable.
Jade and Grandpa Chow
This was the view from our hotel room. This was taken the last day of our trip. It was rainy. Luckily the rest of our trip we had fair weather. Well, I know I took more pictures so prepare for a Chicago part two.
On Tuesday we went with our friends Brian and Melissa Barnett to Joe's Crab Shack and had a delicious meal. I had steak and the rest of them had a big bucket o' crab. Apparently, it was delicious.
On Thursday I met with some girls from our ward for a Mommy and Me playgroup. We went to Chuck E. Cheese. It was so much fun. They had the whole Chuck E. Cheese band. So I had to get a picture to remember her first time. I remember when I was little we used to beg my dad to take us to Chuck E. Cheese. That's even where we celebrated my 16th birthday! Good times.
Here's a picture of all the boys. (From top to bottom) Mike, Katrina's boyfriend, Michael, Dan, Nathanael, Paul, Joshua, Christopher, Matthew. All cuties.
Here, my mom is helping Jade crack an egg on Paul's head. :)
Jade got a chance to sit on Paprika's back. She grabbed on to her mane tight, although she seemed to like it.
