Eighteen Months

Tara is officially 18 months..time flies when you're having fun!! It makes me sad to think how fast my baby girl has grown, but I wouldn't change the age she is at now..she is a riot. Garth and I have soo much fun watching her learn new things. Who needs to go out to be entertained when you have a little one at home. Tara has developed such a quirky little attitude; from her fake laugh and her funny faces to the way she says "weee weee weee" while she is rocking back and forth on her rocking horse. Our newest adventure is potty training!! Saturday at Grandma Gnehm's house Tara dragged her into the bathroom stood in front of the toliet and proceeded to pull down her pants. Grandma didn't know if we had been working on the whole potty training thing, which we hadn't, so she sat her right up on the toliet to go. Now it's her favorite thing to do, she screams when we try to take her off. I am so greatful that to be her mom, she is the best addition too our family. I honestly don't know what I ever did without my little Tara. Love ya baby girl.

San Diego

Well we all made it back home safe and sound. San Diego was a lot of fun, we kept ourselves busy up until it was time to go to bed (which was around 8:00 California time..soo sad, we are soo old). We visited all of the kid friendly tourist spots, Sea World, Mission Beach, Old Town, and the San Diego Zoo. I would say that the zoo was by far my favorite. It was a perfect day to go, it was a little cooler so all the animals were out and about..Tara and I especially liked visiting the orangutan!! But the best part was being able to spend time with all of my family, I don't get to do it very often. Love you guys!!
