Things Aubrey Loves

Aubrey loves her new game that she plays with Daddy. Taking rides around the house in her pool toy. She is always so excited when Daddy comes home and so sad when he leaves.

Aubrey loves cooling off by the fan. This is one of her favorite places in our house.

Aubrey loves bathtime. And she actually laughed at herself when she saw her hair in the mirror. She loved her mohawk!

Aubrey loves her new ring. It is the CTR ring that Daddy gave Mommy when they got engaged.

Below are three videos from this week. The first one is Aubrey eating spaghetti noodles. She loved them. She is pretty quick. Aubrey also likes to help unload the dishwasher. She has also graduated to advanced crawling...no knees. Just feet and hands. It is much quicker.

Slot canyon in Zion's

Lesley left me in charge of posting my hike that she wasn't able to go on with us, so finally after 3 weeks I'm getting to it!! She was kind enough to watch Aubrey while I went out hiking through some slot canyons in Zion's. I had to narrow the picture selection down from a few hundred, so this is just a little taste of the day.

The hike was a blast. My cousin Leo does tours and knew how get around. We got a bit of everything from repelling, to swimming, to hiking.

1-2-3

Aubrey wanted to show her Grandma and Grandpa Dalton that she is brave enough to do 1-2-3 now!

Angels Landing

Thursday afternoon we headed to Cedar City with Cameron's family. We had a blast. We got their Thursday evening and relaxed. Friday, we headed out to Zion's National Park to hike Angel's Landing. Aubrey loved the hike and was such a good hiker. Once she saw the view from the top and had some lunch, she slept the whole way down and then had fun swimming in the river at the bottom.

Aubrey loved being sprayed with the water from the Camelback.

Hiking the narrow walkway to the top!

Aubrey and I taking a lunch break. We weren't as close to the edge as it looks! It was a 1200 foot drop to the canyon floor. Pretty amazing views!

Saturday, Aubrey and I spent the day swimming with cousins and family and being with Grandma Harvey and Great Grandma and Grandpa Brough. We spent most of the day in the pool while the rest of the family went repelling in Zion's. I will post pictures of their day once we get them.

I Love Clearance!

This afternoon Aubrey and I went to JCPenney because I had received a coupon in the mail for $10 off a $10 purchase. I bought all seven onesies above for $1.06 total! Total Savings: $54.94! A deal this good had to be shared on my blog. 15 cents each! Aubrey now has 4 new onesies to grow into and I have 3 for baby shower gifts!

The outfit above is all hand-me-downs that Aubrey has received. She looked like a little cowgirl!

Gunsight Pass

My dad took Cameron and I on a 20 mile hike up in Glacier Park. We loved Gunsight Pass. The views were gorgeous, there were waterfalls everywhere, and everything was so green. We kept saying how incredible the views were every few minutes of the hike. We loved it! Thanks Grandma Dalton for spending the day with Aubrey.

Break at a waterfall. You just can't capture it in a picture. It was amazing.

Mountain Goat above Lake Ellen Wilson. We stopped at the lake for lunch and fished. My dad caught a fish on nearly every cast and Cameron caught one as well.

We loved this hike so much and the weather was perfect!

Huckleberries

Huckleberries!

Eating Hucks!

Aubrey is a Montana girl and loves Huckleberries! We found a terrific patch about 2 miles up a trail and came home with 3 quarts!
