Can you see a difference?

I can't believe how much she has changed in a year! Same pumpkin patch, different kid!

Pumpkin Patch Day

Audrey and her friends met up at the Pumpkin Patch to ring in the Harvest Festival. Too bad it was 90 degrees and felt nothing like fall :( It made for some cute pictures anyway! And we will be back a few times before Halloween.

Audrey and some of her buddies being cute. This picture was taken with the aid of many snacks!
Looking all grown up!
Pat, pat, pat! She was patting the giant pumpkins.

Viva Las Vegas

My mom, Audrey and I headed to Vegas this past weekend to celebrate my good friend Emily's 30th birthday!! We had so much fun on our girl's trip. Audrey was a trooper as always and even did great on the long drive, thanks to food, toys, naps and Grandma to keep her occupied :) I even made my contribution to the Vegas fund by leaving most of my money there in the slots. I had fun doing it though! Audrey has now been to 4 states in her short life (CA, NV, AZ and WA). She pretty much has the west coast covered, minus OR.

Checking out the view of the strip...the windows were pretty dirty :)

Hmmm, what to order for breakfast? Pancakes I think!Making a wish in the fountain. And yes, that is a leash on her. Hey, when your child won't sit in the stroller and only wants to run around a very crowded hotel, you do what you have too. It made me feel much safer to know she couldn't take off. I never thought I would be one of those parents, but I have now learned not to judge until you are in the situation :) We will be using it at Universal and Disneyland as well.

More Seattle Pics

Swinging at GG Dot's. That is the ocean in the background. Coolest.swing.ever.

Look at that sunburst! It wasn't intentional, but I sure love it!
Audrey and GG Dot taking a stroll. It was a gorgeous day.
This rocking chair belonged to Audrey's Nana, then her Great Auntie, then Daddy, then Uncle Bryan, now it is hers! She loved sitting in it and trying to rock.

Audrey and her 4th cousins. Eva (6) and Mara (3 months). Little Croatian beauties. :)
Having fun at Nana and Papa's.
I love this picture. Daddy, Papa and Nana looking on as Audrey runs away. So cute.

Trip to Washington

We just got back from 5 days in Washington State to visit Nana, Papa, GG Dot, and the rest of the family!! We had so much fun. We stayed at Nana and Papa's new house, which is really nice. Audrey had so much fun climbing up and down the stairs, seeing the sheep, and getting to know Jet the dog. We got to visit with family, including the newest cousin baby Mara. We even had a night out alone with Auntie Jaime and Uncle Justin. The weather was perfect, nice and sunny, even though we would have loved some more rain. It was a great trip and we were sad to leave. Hopefully it won't be too long before we head up there again!

Audrey at the airport in her jammies waiting to board the plane. Hold on, I am conducting business here. Sell, sell!!! :)
Being silly at GG Dot's house.

Loving on the new Raggedy Ann doll that GG Dot gave her.
Audrey's first time eating a whole banana by herself. She thought it was pretty cool!

This is what she did the whole time we were there, up and down the stairs. With our help of course!

Checking out the sheep.

Posing in Nana and Papa's front yard. The sheep are across the street!

Go Dodgers!!!

Wahoo!! The Dodgers are the National League West Division Champs!!! As of today, they are leading their series against the Cubs 2-0. I can't believe it. This is the farthest they haev gotten in the playoffs in 20 years!!!! Maybe it is because I didn't go to a game this year...hmmm maybe I should stay away from now on :) Audrey had to put on her little Dodger outfit and cheer them on. Go Dodgers!

This one is horribly blurry, but I thought it was too cute to leave out.

15 Months Old!

Audrey turned 15 months old on Sept. 22nd. She had a doctor appointment to check up on her development and everything looks perfect! She is on track with everything and even a little ahead on some of her skills. She still doesn't say too many words, but the doctor said she is on track with that as well.

She now weighs 22lbs. 5 oz. and is 32" long. She is in the 90% percentile for her height, so it looks like she may have gotten the tall gene from Brandon's family :)
