At 11 months we had all these adventures going on:
All of your aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents came up from Phoenix to have our annual Schaub campout here in the Hualapai's! Each family got their own cabin and they were all close together so we there was still a lot of time to play with everyone. The weather was beautiful but it rained a lot everyday which made it hard to do things, but we still had bucket loads of fun enjoying each other's company. We are thankful that our family was able to come here and
experience the majestic Kingman mountains!

We also had your Uncle Peter and Auntie Jocelyn come and visit for the weekend. We had fun showing them around Kingman. We love when family stops by here to see us, it's all about making memories and enjoying time with loved ones.
{My attempt at making my Mom's scalloped potatoes, Jocelyn said they turned
out like the "mexican version" of my Mom's!}
{She's my twin but with lighter hair...don't know what I would do without her. We talk everyday!}
{On Sunday after church we took them up to the mountains and had a picnic
which included egg salad sandwiches, Cheetos and Peter bought some sparkling lemonade
to go with our meal...you loved the Cheetos!}
{We also took a trip to Lake Havasu and I warned them about how hot it would be but they still wanted to go and see it. We pretty much died getting out of the car...that place is even hotter than Phx}
You helped Daddy wash the car and we were ghetto and made you your own mini pool out of our cooler.
{Your boom boom thighs are one of my most favorite things about you...
you rocked it out there in your swimmie!}
We also enjoyed a lot of swim time this summer at our friend Rachael's in-laws place.
You love the water.
{You and Charlotte are the cutest KBF's ever...Kingman Best Friends}
Random 11 month photos:
{We made paint for you and Charly to play in and you girls
loved it and made such a good mess!}
{You got one of the worst diaper rashes on your bum when you were 11 months so we had to do a lot of baking soda baths! You didn't want us near your bum and wouldn't let us wipe you either.}
{HOORAY for you...you started walking when you were 11 months old. Your first steps were so wobbly and you would walk side to side, but it didn't take you long to become a pro at it}
{You are not satisfied unless everything is out of place meaning everything out of all the drawers...everything belongs to you!}
