We've been busy!

We've made several trips up north in the last week for different events:

Liam turned 3!

It was a little chilly but we stayed cozy :)

Dar gave Rori her first driving lesson. I think she might be an aggressive driver...just look at that face!

So focused

Andrea & Sean got married!!

Husband and Wife
It was a beautiful day, but just a bit chilly for me!
Our sweet princess!
Bundled up and sitting in the sun to stay warm
Beautiful flowers on the temple grounds
So Andrea. We love you! :)
Family photo. Rori had fallen asleep though. Sweet thing.
Connie, a good family friend/cousin got married:

Another reason we've been busy:
If you've been reading our blog for a while you might remember these guys:
They've been living in Australia for the past year and a half but...they're back!!! They surprised us by showing up on our doorstep the Tuesday after Easter. We're so glad to have them home with us and love having our family complete again :)

And just for kicks:
Our little sleeping gnome :)

A couple weeks ago Rori discovered she could suck on her thumb. She's gotten it in her mouth and just chewed on it but now she likes to suck on it, and she's not very quiet about it either! SO cute! We also have to keep a hat on her head or socks on her hands at night and when she's sleepy because she scratches and digs at her head :(

Rori teaching Dar how to properly ingest a burp cloth

She fell asleep while she and I were watching UP. Cutie pie.

On Saturday, April 30th, Rori belly laughed for the first time--her first real giggle. So stinkin' adorable! We were at Banana Republic in the mall and Dar found a green straw hat and put it on just for kicks (we didn't even think Rori was paying attention) and she totally laughed at him!! He then put on a blue hat but it was just the green one that she liked, I guess. We couldn't believe it! She's been laughing a lot more since then...like when we play peek-a-boo, or tell her we love her over and over again, or do "so big" with her arms. Her laugh is seriously to die for! We can't get enough of it. Well, we just can't get enough of this little girl in general. She is such a joy and we're loving watching her personality develop! Hopefully we'll get her laugh on video soon!
