Date Day

I love going on dates. Like real dates that were planned and asked a couple days ahead. Not just getting dinner because we are too lazy to cook. Kevin didn't have to go to work on Wednesday for some reason. I don't remember why, but I don't really care. I am just happy because we were able to go on a date. My Grandma Knowles is so thoughtful, she sent us some money for our anniversary. I decided it was going to be used for a date. I asked Kevin a couple days in advance and started planning out what I wanted to do.

Wednesday came around and I went visiting teaching and when I came back we hopped in the car and headed for Rexburg. It feels like it has been ages since I have been there. It was like a blast from the past, except everything has changed. There are buildings flying up all over the place. I couldn't believe it. But the one thing that didn't change was the Taco Wagon. Kevin loves the Taco Wagon. I am pretty sure they are suffering now that we don't live there. Kevin would eat there everyday if he could. They have really delicious burritos. So we went to the Taco Wagon for lunch. The Taco Wagon is actually a in a bus, so we went to the park to eat lunch. I love the parks in Rexburg. They are really fun. So we ate in the pavilion then we went to some swings and gave Camille her first swing on a swing. She seemed to like it, but not anymore that anything else really.

Next we went to Fat Cats to play some arcade games. I really love to play arcade games. I don't know why, but it is probably one of my favorite dates to do. Fat Cats wasn't really taking great care of their arcade games, and I felt bad because on several games we had to go get the attendant to get our tickets or give us another token because a machine ate one of ours. We had a lot of fun. Kevin really liked playing Fruit Ninja (which we now have on our tablet because he liked it so much), and he like ski ball. He wants to become a pro ski ball player, so if anyone has a ski ball machine laying around let me know and I will buy it from you. I liked the game deal or no deal and the game that you have to get the light in the jackpot slot. I don't know what it was called.

After the arcade we went to BRC's. BRC's is a really delicious custard place. It is so so so good. We love getting a little treat there. It is close to the campus, and has such a cute atmosphere. It is decorated like a Swiss shop in the Swiss Alps or something. It really is so cute. There is a chocolate shop there too. We went in, and we found out that it had gone out of business. We were so sad. I don't even know why they went out of business, they were delicious and so fun! We were so sad, but I wanted a treat, so we went to Kiwi Loco a frozen yogurt shop. It was good, but not as good as BRC's.

After the treat we came home and put Camille down for a nap and finished out our day. It is really nice to be able to spend time with Kevin. We hardly ever get to go out and do lots of things, so I cherish the times that we get to.

Camille 7 Months

This has been my favorite month so far. I think I will be saying that every month from now on. She is the sweetest girl. I seriously just love her so much. She has been learning so much. It has been so much fun for me to watch. She is a moving girl for sure by now. She just started crawling on her hands and knees. She doesn't do it all the time, but she has started to figure it out.

She is pulling herself up on everything. She will stand up by the couch, on her toys, in her bath tub. It is getting kind of exhausting. She is always wanting to stand up, but gets tired, but doesn't want to sit down. She is really sweet though. Since she likes to stand up so much, she is always pulling on anything to get to the standing position. She will pull on my pants to stand up, but Kevin is not so lucky. When he is wearing shorts, she will pull on his leg hairs to stand up. It hurts him so bad. It is a good thing he loves her so much.

She is really attracted to cords. I will set her down with some toys, but she always seems to find a cell phone charger or the fan cord or the laptop cords. She loves to chew on them. I am concerned she is going to get electrocuted. Can you get electrocuted chewing on the end of a cord? I am not sure, but it hasn't happened yet, so that makes me happy.

She is starting to babble so much. It is so cute. My favorite thing is to listen to her talking to herself. I love to wake up hearing her talk to herself. She is just figuring out her voice. Her new favorite thing to do is buzz her lips. She is practically always buzzing her lips. It is so sweet, and drool-y, but sweet.

Camille still loves to jump. She would jump all day and night. It is cute, plus my arms are getting so buff. I even have a muscle line! Yay me.

Camille is really smart and silly. She knows how to put her pacifier in by herself, but sometimes she likes to chew on it when it is in the wrong way. I think it is just so precious. She loves to put things in her mouth and carry them around. It is really precious.

I am so grateful for this sweet girl. I love her so much. I might be so tired at the end of the day, but once she goes to bed I just look at pictures of her. She is my world.
