NOAH IS ONE.

Noah is ONE!!
On July 30th our little buddy turned one. It's amazing how fast a year can go by.  Reflecting on the past year as a new family just makes us so excited for all the adventures to come in life and are so thankful for all the amazing experiences we have had.  As new parents, we are especially thankful for all the love and support we have received so generously around the country from our family and friends.   For those of you who have either a) welcomed us in your home for a night or few b) loaned us baby supplies or passed along hand-me-downs c) picked us up from airport once or multiple times ;) or d) cheered us on & gave us advice or e) All of the Above (you know who you are.) THANK YOU a million times.  We feel lucky to have you in our lives.

Back to the birthday...
Noah's Aunt Amy got married early Aug, so we were so lucky to have so much family in town to have a big party and celebrate the Birthday Boy.  Family is the best and it shows that Noah is one loved little dude.  We had a special cake for Noah...I call it special because it was healthy, sugar free, all natural etc...but well honestly...it was pretty ugly. But he loved it and made a mess of it which really is the point right?

Happy Birthday Baby Boy...we love you so much.  Thank you for all your sweet smiles, slobbery kisses, contagious laughs and warm hugs. We consider ourselves blessed, Ma-ma, Da-da and Punz (Da).

Exploring Yellowstone

I think it's safe to say we visit Yellowstone National Park at least once a year. It is truly one of our favorite places to wander and get lost. This summer we adventured out on our mtn bikes along the Geyser Basin and Biscuit Basin. Towards the end of our ride we got dumped on by a storm which made for some wet diapers.


"There is nothing so American as our national parks...The fundamental idea behind the parks...is that the country belongs to the people, that it is in process of making for the enrichment of the lives of all of us." - President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
