Happy 1st Birthday!


This big girl turned 1! Wow. We made it through the first year of parenthood, what a ride, a fun and adventurous ride.



Ari loves her Dad.


She is too fun!


We went to Idaho last weekend for Grandma Jean's birthday. It was a fun weekend and good to get back up there. We hadn't been up there since we were engaged, so it was great to go and see family. They had a big family dinner on Saturday night which was fun.


Above is Ari with Grandpa Jack and Grandma Jean. Grandpa was sure good at making Ari laugh. He kept saying she was the happiest baby he had ever seen.


This is Ari all smiles on her birthday with Ammy and Poppop. We went for a walk down to DP Cheesesteak for lunch. That is Seth's favorite place to eat lately.


Ari with Mom and Dad. The wind was really strong that day as you can see.


Ari with her birthday balloon from Harmons.


Ari opening her gifts. She loves her purse she got from Ammy and Poppop. She knows what to do with purses!



This is Ari playing with the toy from G & G McArthur. She wanted to understand what made the toys pop up.


She wasn't too excited about the flame, but we helped her put it out.


Daddy helping Ari start into her cake.


She did well after he helped her get started. She was very clean about everything.


Ari enjoying her cake and all of the attention.


Ari in her birthday jammies with her balloon. That night in bed she couldn't stop jabbering. We couldn't help but think she was recounting her fun and eventful day.
