PAC 12 Regionals

Over the weekend, Garett's aunt and uncle, Jerry & Nancy Williams, visited from Tucson and took us to the PAC 12 Regionals Womens Gymnastics meet. 

 The competition was tight and UCLA barely beat UTAH!

Lauren LOVED every minute of the music, action and of course, many many cheerios.

2 months until the ONE year mark!!

At 10 months, Lauren is mastering the stairs, bagels, and giggling!

9 months, already!

I just can't believe it. 9 months and one week. Where does the time go?!?

8 months!

8 months!!

and cuter than ever:

She really loves her highchair! 

Thanks Grammie!!

2012 already!

Ok, I've been meaning to add photos from the holidays and all the winter excitement around here - but I have to admit, I was holding out for some photos from a holiday party we went to where Lauren got to sit on Santa's lap. I don't have them yet, but it's 2012 already, and this blog needs an update!

Christmas morning:

 

Christmas Eve: 

I still think this is so funny: Lauren tried a pickle - and liked it!
