Rest of the trip

The wedding in Wyoming gave us a great excuse to explore the area, including Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Cody, Wyoming and Jackson Wyoming.


One day, while viewing yellowstone falls, Ari decided she wanted to wear daddy's hat. At one point, It fell over her eyes and she fell off the path. We tried to keep a closer eye on her from that point because she insisted on wearing it. What a little thug:



She also insisted on walking most places. This stop was a crowded one, so she was forced to hold hands.

Cousin group hug:
More thug life:

Family Wedding

Last week, we traveled to Wyoming for a family wedding. The wedding was at a cabin with a beautiful setting. Here is the happy couple:




Ari had a blast running around in the field with her cousins Jana and Kara.

Fun Stuff

We'll do a little catch up post and share a a few of Ari's words. Ari's vocab includes:
Milk
See Ya
Cheese
Light
Din-Din
Elmi (Elmo)
Moon
Mickey
Minnie
Cereal
She also does this funny counting thing when we start counting and pause between numbers she will say one. She also holds up one finger and throws it back and forth to emphasize the fact that she means one.
It seems like there are two or three words every day she is picking up.

Here are a few recent pics

Still showing the basketball skills



She doesn't like anything on her feet and we managed to get a pic of her ripping her sock off.



Tilting her head to match what the person with the camera was just doing.



She's also still a little sketched out by grass.

Busy Weeks

The past few weeks have been filled with a lot of excitement and very little time for pictures. Last weekend we moved into our new house after staying with Grammy and Grandpa for a month. We had lots of help and got all of our furniture in the door, but we haven't had much time to unpack and  We'll have more to come as we get our lives reorganized. 

When we were in Salem last weekend for Aunt Meg's baby shower, we had my college roommate, a good friend of ours, Megan (www.meganmjones.com) take some pictures. She's so incredibly talented, it was a ton of fun to wander around near her house. Here are some fun ones:
