11 Months Today

Our little angel turned 11 months today. I cannot believe she is almost 1! She took her first step yesterday and today she added another one, so she is up to two steps. That is pretty good. I bet she is walking like a pro for her 1st birthday.

Seth was gone today so I took these photos by myself and usually if it is just me and the camera, I get the solemn faces from her, but sometimes those faces say more than the smiley ones.

Nothing really new except we have finally found out that there is no way Seth will be able to get hired on at Salt Lake County like we were hoping. We always thought it might work out since all of his supervisors and co-workers really like him, however they are not the ones that call the shots.  The new administration has no intention of ever hiring entry-level attorneys. We thought for awhile they might, but alas, we were wrong. So we are opening the doors to basically any legal job, civil or criminal, private firm or in-house counsel, basically whatever. If anyone has any suggestions or connections, we'd love to hear about it. We are no longer just looking for prosecutor jobs.

Ari is growing up too fast. She loves to drape her shopping bags over her shoulder and drag them around the house. She loves to read her books and will turn the page for you if you aren't reading fast enough. She loves bananas and loves to move to the music. I can't wait to have little dance parties with her. haha

Any good ideas of your favorite toys for your kids? I am trying to think of something fun to get Ari for her birthday.

Las Vegas Baby!! Woot Woot

 

We had a great Labor Day weekend. We took family pictures! Yeah, that is always nice to get them out of the way. We stopped by to see Jace and Brooke in their new little place in Cedar. They just moved up there to go to school. While we were there we had Jace take a couple of pictures since we have a hard time getting all three of us in a picture at the same time.

So to start off our fun holiday weekend, we went down to Las Vegas to see The Phantom of the Opera. I had purchased tickets for our 5-year anniversary, and the time finally came to go. The music was so beautiful and the theater at the Venetian was specifically designed for the Phantom and it was amazing! We had a great time!

We were walking around after the show and found a candy store. I buy Hershey's syrup for Seth by the gallon, I swear, so this was a great find. You can see how happy his chocolate milk makes him. Grinning from ear to ear. This picture gave me some great laughs, multiple times. What a cheese, he never gives me cheese like that.

We stayed at the Golden Nugget with Kylee and Jon. They watched Ari while we went to the Phantom and we watched Millie the next day while they went to go see Wicked. It was so fun! These are the girls sleeping in the hotel bathroom together. Kylee and Jon said it was quite the ordeal trying to get them both to go to sleep at the same time. Millie would cry and wake Ari up and then fall asleep and then Ari would start crying and would wake up Millie and she would start crying. But finally they both gave up and went to sleep.



We went swimming in the 'Shark Tank' at the Golden Nugget and the girls loved it. They had a slide that went through the fish tank which was pretty cool. The is the fish tank behind us, it looks confusing because of the reflection of people, but there were lots of fish and like 7-8 sharks in that tank.

And here are the girlies living the high life, enjoying the slots. :) 

Ari loved the lights on the slots. Too bad the security lady was eyeing us so we had to leave. No babes allowed. We had such a fun time!
