Our first guests

This past weekend we had our first guests to stay in our house. My good friend Stephanie and her family came to visit. Elizabeth loved having some friends to play with. Caroline and Claire did a great job keeping her entertained and loving on her while she and Cole just enjoyed playing. It was really fun to have some familiar faces around and to welcome people into our house. We walked to the park and Elizabeth mostly enjoyed playing on the slide and thought is was really funny when Claire sent rocks sliding down it. She even thought she would see how they tasted. Stephanie's kids are so sweet and loved to play with Elizabeth. Saturday we decided to go back to the pumpkin patch so their kids could feed the animals and ride the ponies. It was a hit. I think we will have to do it again now that we live a lot closer to each other. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

I LOVE THE SLIDE!!!

Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

So this weekend we decided to go out to the pumpkin patch for a few pumpkins and pictures. We also got to feed some animals. It was pretty funny to see Elizabeth at first she wasn't too sure of those animals up close, but as time went on and she saw us continue to let them eat out of our hands, she was ready to do the same. By the end she was sticking her hand out to them. She also enjoyed sitting among the pumpkins which made for some cute pictures. They had pony rides also, but we thought that would be better for her next year. Anyway, here are a few of the pictures...

New House, New Teeth...I'm One!!!

Now that we are settled into our new house I thought I would get some pictures up so that you all could see where we are and what the little peanut is up to...

As you can see, she discovered the toilet paper roll, while staying at the hotel for the first week.

I LOVE to climb the stairs, about 2o times a day...come get me!

Help, I'm in jail!

She is one now and seems to get cuter by the minute. She is very busy and wears us out. She seriously will climb the stairs all day long if we let her. Her vocabulary is also growing like crazy. She says "ball", "night, night", "Uh oh", "ruff, ruff", "Hi", "Bye Bye", "Duck", "Bath", "Dada", "Mama", "stop" and a few other things. Sometimes we just watch her and laugh. The other night she was trying to tell us that she was ready for bed by just laying down on the floor and when she saw that it made us laugh she would say night night and lay down for a good couple of minutes. We got a good laugh out of it and then we put her to bed. She also decided to start getting a couple new teeth on the day we left Denver, and last week her top two middle teeth finally came through!!!

Our House

I know I promised pictures of the house several weeks ago, but I had to uncover the cable for the camera in one of our 300+ boxes. So, now I have it and here are some pictures. We are really blessed with the street that we ended up living on. There are a lot of families with little ones and there is even a little girl that is only 4 days younger than Elizabeth. There is also a couple that consider themselves to be the "Grandparents of the Street" and Elizabeth has made fast friends of them. We try to take walks every night so that we can get to know our neighbors since everyone seems to love being outside.

We love our new kitchen

A nice big master bedroom with a fireplace...ooooohhhhh!
