10 year high school reunion

Brynn, Michelle, Lindsey and I (the only people I feel ok asking to take their picture! Thanks)

I had my ten year high school reunion last week. I cannot believe it has been that long! It's so funny to look back and remember myself thinking what I would be like in ten years when I graduated, it seemed like such an eternity away. It was great to see some people that I hadn't seen in a while. I wish that more had been able to come!
Thanks to Barb who put in so much time planning!!!

12 months

In all of the birthday celebration I forgot to post Lila's last month shot. Here she is at 12 (Almost 13) months.
What a sweetie. This is obviously really painful for me. I never thought that we would have a twelve month shot that she wasn't holding her head up and being able to look at me.
Regardless, this is where we are and we move on. Here is what she CAN do at twelve moths:
She can smile. laugh. "talk" chew on her fingers, suck her thumb, move her arms and legs, stay on her side if put there (she has rolled on her own a few times) she gives kisses sometimes, she can push her head off my shoulder for a few seconds, she responds to light and still thinks sneezes are funny.

Here are some photos that I forgot to post!


I love that Quinn and his dad have such a great relationship. He has taught Quinn how to be such a great dad.



Poppy the human puppy (as Q calls her)
We had a water bed in Sun Valley and Lila loved it! It held her just right I think. She fell asleep pretty easy on that baby. (I love when she falls asleep with a finger in her mouth)

Sun Valley !!!

One thing that I loved about Sun Valley is that there is flowers everywhere! They are gorgeous!



we discovered that Lila actually takes naps in her B.O.B, it' my new favorite thing. Which is good cause she is outgrowing her carrier. - Isn't this outfit adorable! Thanks Robyn, It's a new favorite!
Taking the Gondola ride up the mountain.

Lila had pretty bad bed head so this is Quinn's idea of styling it. Kinda like a mommy cat.

We had lunch at the round house. I restaurant half way up the mountain. Todd, Robyn, Quinn, Lila, Marissa, Joe, Jonah and Kimball

We dipped Little Miss's toes in the cold mountain lake. She jumped then gave us a little smile.
Chillin in our designer shades. Lucky baby, her daddy is already giving her the hook ups.
We took a ferry across the lake and wanted to hike up to Lilly lake, we asked the guy if we could do it in Lila's BOB. He said fifty fifty. More like ninety ten. We ended up carrying the little lady and the BOB. Oh well, it was worth it. It was gorgeous.

A little bit further from Lilly lake were these gorgeous falls. Thanks Robyn for staying with the Lady so we could hike on.
Thank you to Uncle Joe who carried Lila all the way back down the mountain!
First boat ride!

Listening to the symphony at the Sun Valley resort, by far a highlight.
Lily was making Lila dance to the music and it was very entertaining. Those little thighs were so cute jiggling.
This past week we have been in Sun Valley with Quinn's Family. We had never been up in that area. It was gorgeous. We had a wonderful time. We sat on the deck, chatted, shopped, hiked, went to the arts fair, listened to the symphony, played games, took walks, enjoyed the mountain, ate and just relaxed.
Thank you to Todd and Robyn!!! We loved it and had the best time. It was very much needed. Thank you!

Party!! (number two)

We had another BBQ the next night for our friends to celebrate with us. We had a wonderful time. We are so grateful for sweet friends who have prayed for us and who have supported us. I wanted a big party since we don't know how many we will get to celebrate with this little one so thanks to all who came and made it special!
I am so sorry that I didn't get a picture of everyone who was there! I started chatting and forgot to take pictures but we felt so loved that you all came! thanks!
