PBJ

After an initial minor reaction after eating PB, we tried again.

YUM

Kelsey rips the sandwich apart to get to the hidden treasure- JELLY!

"All done" sign

(Now she says it verbally! :)

Aunt CJ comes to town

Dancing and clapping to the music- definitely the best part of a baseball game!

So cool!

Adam rooting for the Cards

Aunt Courtney, one of my closest friends, came to town to play. On Saturday, we had a great time at the pool and then we had my first official girls night (that went hand in hand with Kelsey's weaning). We, along with my friend up here, Carrie went to a DELICIOUS dinner and the Black Eyed Peas concert. It was a BLAST!! Sunday, we went to Kelsey's second Cards game of the season, but this one we actually got to see (no rain delay). Monday we chilled at home and went to lunch. It was a fantastic weekend with one of our favorite people!

And now she's....POSING

"whatcha doin?"

"Oh, is that the camera?"

"CHEESE" check out the teeth!

14 1/2 months and she's posing......we are so in for it!

Milkshake drama

Best Milkshake ever. Aunt Caulli's marshmellow was my favorite ;)


Meeting Rampage

Aunt Caulli came in for a long weekend and we had a great time at a Cardinals Baseball game, seeing the Arch, going to eat, shopping and going to a Rams practice. Kelsey even got to meet the infamous Rampage at the field. It was a very exciting weekend!! Thanks for coming all the way from FL, Aunt Caulli! We love you!

Model Kelsey- Marilyn Monroe style

All that hair...

PONYTAILS!!!!!

And PIGTAILS!!!!!

They're messy but oh so cute! Kelsey has SO much hair! It's one of the first things a stranger says to me when they see her and especially when they find out her age. Now if only I can get her to stay still so I can practice and improve on my little girl hair skills :)

Summer Fun!!!

Sporting the Bikini!

Hanging with Daddy at the pool

Stroller Craziness at Grant's Farm- Can YOU find Kelsey?

Loving my new baby stroller!

Wyoming

Kelsey's First Official Boatride with Adam driving!

She was so relaxed, she passed out on my lap :)

Captain Adam

Jackson, WY

Deer in Grand Teton National Park

Kelsey's second boat ride

The treasure after our family hike: Hidden Falls

Our last few days of vacation were fantastic. We rented a boat and took a short ride on beautiful Jackson lake overlooking the Teton Mountain range right from where we stayed at Signal Mountain Lodge. We also explored Jackson, WY which is a cute organic town. Love that! We saw a bald eagle and more deer on our multiple drives to/from Jackson. Our last full day, we hiked around Jenny Lake to Hidden Falls and they were a gorgeous hidden treasure.

More Yellowstone, Signal Mountain Lodge and Jackson, WY

Signal Moutain Lodge (located in Grand Teton National Park just southe of Yellowstone)

Kelsey exploring wildflowers

Cheese :)

Probably the most gorgeous waterfall I've ever seen

3 Coyotes running from the bears

My turn to try hiking with Kelsey

Mama Grizzly Bear and 3 cubs (here one of the cubs is jumping to play with Mama)

Bull Elk (there were 3 of them, but here are 2)

Huge Moose herd that just kept getting closer and closer to the road GTNP about a mile or so from our lodge

Our second day in WY (July 1st), we took advantage of our location to revisit Yellowstone and were so glad we did. In addition to seeing more buffalo, elk and various birds, we got to see animals we've never seen in the wild before. It was just gorgeous and a great day!
