7 Year Anniversary

Todd and I have been married seven years!  We've known each other now for 25 years (I don't remember when we first met but it was probably in kindergarten.)

We celebrated this year by taking Avery camping for her very first time.
We went to Moab, and it was awesome!!

Avery supervised as we set up camp.

We hung out in the tent and watched her sit up unassisted for the very first time.  She also started trying to crawl. 
We climbed (me too!) while she napped in the car, 2 feet away from us.  We climbed some more while she was awake and sitting in her bumbo watching us.
We hiked with her in the backpack till she got tired and melted down the entire way back to the car. :)
We had a campfire after she fell asleep for the night.
We woke up every 2 hours to her screaming with what I think was gas pain.  Poor baby!  (Poor parents too!)
While Todd did a 10 mile run Avery and I shopped, napped, and walked along the river together.
We all picnicked in the park together.

She took most of her naps in the car while we drove between destinations.

Though I am still recovering from the sleepless night, it was SO worth it, and it felt so good to camp again.  I really wanted to get just one picture of the three of us, but it never happened.  The littlest things take so much more effort with a kid. 
Oh well, maybe next time.

The hike started like this:

And ended with me carrying her to try to stop her from crying.

Her favorite pastime.  Tasting everything.

Picnicking.  What a cute chunk!
