Elizabeth and Meri

As promised...

Are these girls cute, or what?!

Dusting Off the Camera

My camera got buried somewhere in all the hustle and bustle of packing and moving but I found it...knocked the dust off...and started taking pictures this week.  Here are a few of my favorites!

We frequently take Elizabeth to the child care room at the gym and twice this week the women keeping her have commented on what a "big personality" she has!  Can you tell??

I frequently find her like this in the mornings.  While I'm making breakfast, etc. she walks back into her room, climbs into her chair and starts "reading" her books.  I peek in on her and she is just babbling away as she turns the pages.  So sweet!

Bike ride with Daddy!

And these two girls...oh. I love them so.  I should do an entire Elizabeth and Meri blog post.  They have been friends since before they were born (Her mom, Autumn and I met in child birth class and became fast friends!).

Blue-eyed Beauties!

16 Fun Filled Months!

Shew...16 Months!  This girl is definitely keeping me on my toes but she is still just as sweet as can be!

She has 12 teeth (all 4 molars at the same time...thank you baby ibuprofen!)

She loves putting on mommy and daddy's shoes

She pushes anything with wheels

She climbs on anything she can reach

She "talks" constantly and has recently become a baby parrot

She loves to put on your glasses/sunglasses

She wants to hold everything she eats herself...

But she can't be trusted to hold the entire box.  Mommy oops!

Climbing on boxes.

She had cold cereal and milk for the first time.  Success!

She loves her Boone.  Each morning when I go in to get her Boone goes with me and she squeals "Boooo" with delight and reaches for him.

She makes some silly faces.

Mmmm watermelon!

New puzzles.

Learning body parts.

And this little milestone!

Happy 4th of July!!

We all loaded up and walked (yes, I said walked...another perk of being in town!) to the 4th of July parade yesterday morning.  It was crazy crowded but we ended up having a great time once we were able to plow through everyone and find a spot.

Check out those matching scowls.

This is the view E had for most of the parade.  She would clap along with everyone as the floats went by.  

Patriotic family :)

And then this happened...this huge animal was in the parade and then afterwards all the kids (and Will) got to check it out.  She was not too sure about it.  I can't imagine why?!?

Even Boone got some red, white and blue beads.

Happy 4th, everyone!!

Some of the Perks

We didn't know what we were missing!  But now that we have been living in town we have been having so much fun!  We have become regulars at the pool :)

Checking herself out in the mirror. So sweet.

Our girlfriend, Meri.

And regulars at the library.

We also get to go on fun new adventures...like this...

Boone, Elizabeth and I rode the Gondola to the top of the ski mountain and took a nice, long, gorgeous hike.

Checking out the view from inside the Gondola car. 

One of the views of the valley from up top!

Too much excitement for this girl.
