| Love the look, pilgrim style! |

| She has a lot of "naked baby time" |
 |
| A fun bonfire with friends. Eating dirt was a must. |
 |
| Trying on a winter vest for Mara. A little big but she did not want that thing off. |
 |
| Not sure what to make of those ducks after one "attacked" her. He really wanted her to let go of that piece of bread. |
 |
| Future driver....2027! Unless she is like some Bohmans... |
 |
| Ahhhh, I have to start her young. |
 |
| Addicted to smoothies! Can you believe that was actually filled to the top? |
 |
| Mesa Falls! Daddy/Daughter time. :) |
 |
| Family Pic! |
 |
| I have this great ability to close my eyes. |
 |
| Dinner at Big Juds. 1lb burger split between three people. Yes, Lily did indeed help. |
 |
| Followed by ice-cream. She showed everyone her dance moves afterward from of all that sugar! |

So here we are, another big adventure is about to start for TeamDAsh! Does anyone know the story behind the name? It's a long one so I wont go and try to explain it. ;)
Anyways, in four days we will be leaving the good little college town of Rexburg, Idaho and driving down to Salt Lake City to spend a couple of days with Christen and her fam. and a few old friends. Then we get on a plane to Seattle and stay the next, and then the next day follows by us getting on a bus at 8am to Vancouver, BC for 6 hours....and finally, we board our ship for a fun and eventful cruise up the Inside Passage and Glacier Bay for 7 days! Since this is the first cruise of the season and, let's be honest, Southeast, AK isn't well-known for perfect weather in late May/early June, Norwegian got a little desperate so they lowered their prices way down. Just so happens that we saw it about a week ago and promptly called because the balcony stateroom was only $100 more than what we had initially paid for an inside stateroom (no window). We got the upgrade and we are stoked! Thanks, Southeast for having wonderful weather! ;) Plus, I'm so excited to not cook for 7 days, it's unbelievable! I can't wait to see whales from my balcony. I feel like Marlin when he is explaining to Cora, "They open their little eyes, and they see a WHALE!" Oh, perfection.
Also, we are really excited to see the fam up in AK. It'll be nice to spend the 9 days we have there since we really don't know when the next time our little nomadic selves are going to be there. Joining the Air Force, starting Med School, having a baby...so unpredictable...wait...no, it's not....it's rigid. Well, we'll have a nice house with extra beds in MD so I guess it's time for those Bohmans in AK to come out to the lower 48!
Lillian is also making leaps with her communication skills. I am awed at how well she talks and repeats a lot of words so clearly. She remembers and associates them pretty quickly. We have only talked about this little friend baby a couple of times, but today at Church Lily goes up to her and says her name like they were long-lost friends. Lily is sweet, sassy, stubborn, and smart...and she gives the best hugs and kisses and boy is she polite (southern blood); not sure what combination that creates for the future, but right now we are loving it and learning a heck of a lot ourselves. Toddlers are fun but oh so difficult. I'm glad she is my little Lily and I love her so much. I can't wait for her to be a big sister!
