Cozy Coupe

Ari got a Cozy Coupe for Christmas from Uncle Jim and Auntie Jana and LOVES to ride in it.  The problem is, we get so tired of pushing her! We've resorted to hiding it in the front closet sometimes so she forgets about it. Apparently she was sick of asking us for a ride and decided to give her bear Cooper a ride herself...

Ariana turns 1!!

Ari turned 1 on January 26th!! I can't believe a year has gone so fast! On her actual birthday we went to the play place at Rosedale mall and went to Panera for dinner. She was a happy girl!!

We had a big party for her the weekend of the 29th. Her nickname is "bug" so we had a ladybug themed party for her. My godmother and I made ladybug invites, I found a ladybug dress from Gymboree, and made a ladybug cake and cupcakes...

I'm terrible...

It's been forever since I've posted anything on here so here are a few things that have happened in our 2011 so far....

We rang in the new year in Milwaukee with the Shoup side of Jordan's family. It was great to see every one again and introduce them to Ariana. On the way home I was nice enough to contribute $250.90 into the Wisconsin State Patrol's pension fund...

In mid January Jordan and I went to Las Vegas with our friends Tim & Lindsay and Alex & Bonnie. We were there just over 4 days and had an awesome time! We visited Hoover Dam (very cool), watched the sunset at the top of the Statosphere, had dinner at the Wynn buffet, walked...and walked...and walked through just about every Casino there, lost...and then found...a $100 poker chip at the Gold Nugget!! It was a great trip to get away with friends. Ari stayed behind with Grandpa & Grandma James - she had fun too. :)
