Mother’s Day

Although it was a couple weeks ago, I had a lovely Mother’s Day spent with two of my favorite people. We hiked down to Teddy Bear Cove, one of our favorite spots, and spent the beautiful day that it was enjoying the scenery. There were several other families and a cute black lab that Ada eagerly befriended. Ada also loved splashing and walking through the water. Eventually her clothes were soaked so we decided to let her explore au naturel :)

Grampa & Gramma

My parents recently flew up for my birthday and to see Ada. We had a nice time visiting and running around.

Ada loved wearing Gramma’s flip flops around the house :)

We also spent an afternoon walking around Hovander Park on a beautiful sunny day.

Ghost Town

While in Arizona, we headed over to Goldfield Ghost Town with a couple friends to have some fun. It was a unique town complete with gun fights, mine tours and an old saloon.

15 Months

Ada is actually almost 16 months. Once again, I am a little behind :)

Ada loves talking/babbling and has a growing vocabulary. She knows lots of animal sounds and simple words. Her new favorite word is “WOW!” She also likes to hold up her hands and ask where something went (where’d it go?) if she can’t see it anymore (like a bird flying out of view). She loves to laugh and make us laugh too.

Pool Time

I have a couple posts left from Arizona… a little slow to finish, but we had family visiting along with me getting the flu again :)

Todd was finally able to get Ada in the pool after a failed attempt on my part. The water was a little chilly, but with the 100 degree weather I think she eventually enjoyed it.
