Celebrating Mauren's first 1st birthday in South Dakota with the Field family!

YaYa made Mauren a sleep over cake!  How cute!!

Mauren thought the frosting was good, but the plate was better!

Bath time for two beautiful girls!!  Especially when they have matching PJ's!!



We visited Storybook Island and met a lot of characters.....



Played in the sun.....



                                                                 One pretty niece with beautiful blue eyes!

And played some more....




Mauren's 1st haircut!  Thanks Denise!!!

And visited Grandma Field...

Once we were home Mauren was ready to get out and explore again at home!  I love this picture so I had to include it!

Swimming Lessons!

Mauren started swimming lessons this week!  We play fun games and sing songs just trying to get her use to the water.  She is the youngest by far, but we can participate in most of the class.  She's even taking the lessons with a friend, Ady!  Mauren loves the water but doesn't know yet to close her mouth when she gets close to going under! 

Limbo..."how low can you go..."

Riding the pony (aka eating the pony!)

Mauren has been seeing a chiropractor to help with her ear infections.  We were a little sceptical at first with the idea but she saw her pediatrician today and got a clean bill of health.  No tubes needed! 

Here's a picture of our happy girl!  She is always grapping at our legs to pull herself up.  

Happy Independence & Mauren Turned 11 Months Day!

We had a quiet long weekend with a barbeque on Sunday and family visiting on Monday.  Mauren also turned 11 months on Sunday!  It's so hard to believe that she is that old.  Time just keeps on flying by with no regards to our wishes.  Here's some pics from the weekend and a quick update on what Mauren is doing now.  (Thanks YaYa for the cute patriotic dress!)





*At 11 months Mauren is crawling all over the house and moves so quickly it's hard to figure out where she is! 

*She pulls herself up on furniture and our legs. 

*She walks along the furniture easily. 

*She loves walking with her walker.

*She is getting more daring when exploring.  She's a lot less tentative.

*She blows kisses.

*She "gives love" by giving a hug and patting your back.

*She signs when she is hungry and wants more.

The Field's & Kuhn's met in Denver

YaYa & Papa were excited to see their growing little girl! 

 

While the rest of the family went on an all day rafting trip, Nadia, Mauren and Heather hung out at Darren's aunt's house.  We had lots of fun playing! 

 

Nadia loved playing in the playhouse!  Hint, hint Papa ;)

On Sunday we went to Rock of Ages and we all loved it!! 

What a fabulous show with great music!

Mauren took to Darren right away.  She was a little shy
at first with everyone else!

 

 

Happy Father's Day!

It was Daddy's day ~ whatever he wanted ~ so he opened his 1st Father's Day gift. 

Then we went for a morning hike!



"That's my Daddy!"



Mauren getting strapped in and ready for the bumpy ride!

We had a great day hiking and hanging out! 

Happy Father's Day to all the great men in our lives!

Mauren's got the giggles!!

Happy 10th Month Birthday!!

Mauren turned to the double digits today!  Time sure is flying by....sure wish it would slow down a little.  Here's some pics from Mauren's big day!
