Lauren is walking!

Yup! It's official! We've crossed over the line from taking a few steps now and then to really and truly walking! She can go from couch to couch in our living room and walked all the way across my bedroom! She's still so wobbly, and it's so, so cute! She's only a few days away from her first birthday, so it's great timing!
We're so excited to have my parents, Anna and Laine, and Brooke and her boys, come for the party on their way down to Utah. We started stuffing goodie bags for the kids today, and yesterday (this should be a whole separate post because it's so exciting!) yesterday we found huckleberries here in Montana!!!!!! So I'm inventing a huckleberry frosting for the tops of her birthday cupcakes! That is, right after I get the mountain of laundry on my couch folded. Bleck!

AWESOME BLOG, TARA! I REALLY LIKE YOUR BACKGROUND. IT'S VERY PRETTY! LAUREN IS GETTING SO BIG! I THINK SHE MAY SKIP THE WHOLE WALKING PHASE AND HEAD STRAIGHT TO RUNNING! SHE IS SUCH A CUTIE. YOU'LL HAVE TO GIVE ME THE RECIPE FOR YOUR HUCKLEBERRY FROSTING. SOUNDS DELISH!

Yay Lauren!

It's fun to know that we're going through these milestones together since Nathan and she are so close in age!

I am in love with this age their at.

Congrats to Lauren! I'm so glad that it's still exciting after three kids when one of them starts walking. I'm excited for Madi to start reaching milestones. Happy Birthday to Lauren. And when are YOU going to take a trip down to Utah... I would love that!

That's so fun to have your baby start walking! Congrats on finding huckleberries! Hopefully it was a fun experience.

are you going to come with your mom and family to Idaho? If Lauren is walking is it time for another one?!?

I love your blog- so cute! Lauren is a beautiful little girl! Congradulations! Have fun chasing her- hopefully she's a little more mellow than her big sis :)!

I also commented on another post.
