Autumn Fun

Getting in the combine with daddy!

Arrington actually let me paint her face!

Cutest pumpkin in the patch!

She loves the kitties at the Pumpkin Patch. Arri loved playing in the wagon!

Arrington's First Birthday Party!

She had a great day walking and talking with everyone!

She loved opening her gifts!

She loved crawling up her slide that she got!

She loved it!

She had a Ladybug theme cake and balloon. This was right before we let her into her cake. She loves the balloon again!

This is her actually birthday on August 22 at McDonald's for lunch. You can tell she is thrilled with her balloon!

She got sized for her first pair of shoes after she started walking! Look at her tiny pigs!

Bethany Beach 2008

We stopped by the Anhalt's on our way home from vacation. It was so great to see them!

For those of you that check Brookelyn's page, you know the story. Others, Arrington decided to "steal" Levi's paci right out of his mouth and stick it in her own!! She has been known to do it in the nursery, too!!

Daddy took her on the "firetruck" toy at the restaurant- she was driving.

Arrington loved to dump the sand on her lap!

Out to eat with the fam. Don't you love her bandana!?

Dad bought a kayak this year- it is so much fun!

Darn funny!

The girls getting some sun!

Look at that hat! Too cute with Aunt Ally.

Family picture (minus my mom) for Father's Day.

This is her first piggies in the water. Lake Michigan in Sawyer, Michigan is where my family vacations every year. We love it!

She is so proud of herself for standing up like a big girl at the new toy Katie brought for her! She loves that thing!

She had way too much fun and fell asleep on the boat!

Her first trip to the "beach" at Clinton Lake. She put the sand in her mouth several times! Looke at that sweet bikini! :)

On her way to a graduation party with her daddy!

She loved this big bouncy ball- this smile is mid-giggle!

Funny! A Memorial Day cookout with cousin Rendi's sunglasses!

Yeah for Aunt Abi's 8th grade graduation!

This is Arri in our stroller for one of our many walks.

Apparently I have not posted in 2 months!! Yikes! This is the day of David's wedding. Jay was the Bestman and I read scripture. It was also the day of my graduation at Greenville for my master's! I missed it, oh well. They sent me my diploma in the mail.

David and Meg's Rehearsal at Elkhart Chapel.

Every picture that I took, her little mouth was open with excitement!

My first Mom's Day!

Yea! Ally's graduation from LCC!!

She loves to chew books!

Brother Dakota was watching over Arrington.

Arrington was helping Mimi plant her flowers!

Arri is Aunt Abi's biggest track fan!

She loves playing in her exersaucer!

Hi, Everyone!

She is totally into everything! She reaches to be picked up! Loves lots of different foods! Her top two teeth are about in! We are loving every minute of her and her personality! What a precious gift from God!!

First time touching the grass with her cousin, Anne!

Gorgeous view from our back patio. Thank you Lord for color!

I am 3 days from finishing my Student Teaching!! I am avoiding my portfolio work and I thought I would take some time to update you with our precious girl and our life!

This is Arrington this past Easter.

Update

Hello to anyone who still checks this blog every 6 weeks or so! For those of you who don't know , I started my student teaching in 5th grade January 22 and have been very busy everyday! Jason's mom watches Arrington and I miss her terribly!
This was our Valentine's Day picture. Jason has coached Jr. High wrestling for the past three years and every year there has been a meet on Valentine's. Look at the precious pink girl in her hat!!
