Well, I have been trying unsuccessfully for days to upload new pictures of Aubrey's party and our trip so far, so I guess it will have to wait until we are back in Arkansas!

Anyway, Aubrey's first birthday was so fun! I can't believe she is a year old already. She is such a hoot right now. She LOVES flowers - every time we walk by flowers or trees, she points at them and makes very excited noises (she isn't talking a whole lot yet, but she makes her meaning very clear). So we did a flower theme for her party. We also had a little baby pool, which she loved - she is a fish! She also really enjoyed her cupcake :)

The day after her party we left for Colorado. My parents had come out for her party and they drove us out. Matt just finished one week of camp and is getting ready for another, so we thought it would be good to spend some time out here instead of being home alone. The girls were SO good on the car trip. We stopped and spent the night in a hotel, which Mackenzie was very excited about. Of course they got some new things to play with, so I'm sure that helped too!

Unfortunately they have both come down with an awful cold, which they seem to do nearly every time we come out here. Poor Aubrey has been coughing so much at night we aren't getting much sleep. We took them in to the doctor today and they are both on meds now, so hopefully we can spend our last week here healthy and happy.

I promise I will upload LOTS of pictures as soon as we get home!
