Silly...

Mom and Bob have hardwood floors in the house and I am not sure Audrey knew what to do with that so she did what people do....she adapted to her surroundings. :) Here she is showing off her new crawling technique. :)

Audrey and I got to spend two weeks in California while Nathan was in Texas for some training. We had a great time visiting friends and family, though we missed Nate terribly and wished he could have come with us. He was able to meet us in Cali for Bryanna's graduation weekend before we all flew back to Colorado. :) Here are some cute and random new pics!
Just hanging out!
Hanging out in Mariposa with great-gramma Nita. :)
This is Audrey's new thing. She sits up and fights going to sleep for as long as possible until she just falls over! :) So cute...not so comfy.
Cutie pie.
Her new jumper....worked like a charm. :)
She missed her daddy and missed her cuddles.
Audrey and her beautiful Oma Maria and cousins Journey and Katrielle. They were so great with her. :)
Audrey with her pretty cousins...Ryan, Madison, and Chloe. They rocked her to sleep in that swing at aunt Nancy's.

My sister, the graduate!

Bryanna graduated from Sonoma State University at the end of May! I am so proud of her! I feel so lucky I was able to be there and celebrate with her. :) Here are some shots from the graduation ceremony and the grad party at mom and Bob's.
Katie and Jesse, me and Audrey, dad and Sharon, Grandpa, and Grandma.
Bryanna walking to her seat. The last time on campus!
Proud sister.
No party is complete without Guitar Hero. Here is Nathan wowing us with his vocal skills. :)
Frank and Bob are in the band too. :)
This provided so much enjoyment!!! Thank you Frank for bringing Guitar Hero!
Audrey begging for some "real" food. :)

Finally!!!

Ok, so Audrey finally got to meet her BFF Kaylen while we were in California! :) Samantha and I have been best friends forever and it has sucked not being able to get the girls together and share being new moms together. We were finally both in the same place at the same time and we enjoyed it so much. :) Kaylen and Audrey went swimming together for the first time. Here are a few of the pics we got.
Playing in the awesome turtle pool.
Both trying to figure out the grass situation and probably wondering why we left them out there alone. :)
Playing in the water....so cute!
