Birthday Girl!

Lauren turned the big number 1 on December 3rd! It's hard to believe that it has already been a year since her sweet little face entered our world. We have loved every minute of it! We had a party the day before her birthday at my mom's house with the familia. On her actual birthday, I had to substitute teach (can you believe me?!). SO...Her sweet daddy took her on an adventure to the Seattle Children's Museum, complete with a special dino nugget lunch! What a lucky lady. She is definitely starting to act more toddlerish now--dancing all around to music, nodding or shaking her head at different things we offer her and giving big hugs and kisses to her baby cousins. Here are some pics of Little Miss Thang and her recent maturity... :-)

Our Visit to Arizona

Recently we took a vacation to Arizona to visit Anne and her kids. Lauren was so cute there--crawling around in the backyard with Jakey and playing with the big kids. Luke and Ashley adored Lauren as you can see from the pictures below!
