Picture Day!

I finally got Avery into get her picture professionally taken and she did so great! I was so proud of her! Her are some of our favorites.

Jump Jump!!

We bought this jumper for Avery and she absolutely loves it! She gets so excited whenever we put her in it. She just jumps all around and laughs and just has a good time. She was so fascinated by the fabric on her swing. She would start bouncing and then get distracted by the fabric and become entranced. She also cant control where she is facing and so she is always facing the wrong way and trying to turn herself but she cant. She is a funny girl. We love her so much!!

Happy 4th of July!

Well Avery's first 4th of July was pretty exciting. We went to see Hancock with Kendall's family and then we went and had a BBQ over at their house. We just kinda relaxed and hung around the house which was fun. They had a slip-n-slide for all the little kids and so I put Avery's feet in the water and she really enjoyed it until one of the boys slid down fast and splashed her right in the face. It was actually pretty funny. After that she was done with the slip-n-slide. Avery got this super cut 4th of July outfit from Grandma Dean and she was so dang cute in it.

Avery was loving life because we let her have a Popsicle and she thought it was the coolest thing ever. She loved it so much that she sucked all the ends of the Popsicle white. It was pretty entertaining.

She got extremely sticky though and we had to give her a bath before we went and watched the fireworks. After her bath we went and watched the big PG fireworks from their front yard. We could see them perfectly and we didn't even have to go anywhere. Like the crazy baby she is, Avery fell asleep while they were going off. I don't know how she slept with all that loud booming. After that she went to bed and Kendall and Brennan put on a firework show for us and they did a great job. All in all it was a great 4th of July and we were happy to just be able to relax.

Over the hills and through the woods to Grandmas house we go...

So this last weekend we went up to Idaho to visit my family. Kendall, my dad, Scott, Kendall's dad, and my uncles all went on a motorcycle up to Yellowstone and Jackson Hole and I stayed behind with my mom. The boys had an awesome time and they were able to get some great male bonding time in. Total Kendall rode about 1300 miles and I thought that would make him not want a motorcycle anymore but it did just the opposite because he wants one even more now. He got to rent a Harley Davidson Ultra Classic which is like the Cadillac of motorcycles. They had lots of fun and im so glad he got to go but I am also so glad he is back because we definitely missed him.After they left on their trip me, my mom, Ryan and Avery all left to go camping. We were all so excited because I haven't been camping in awhile and it was just going to be lots of fun. The place we went had a hot spring pool which was alot of fun. We all went swimming in and really enjoyed the nice warm water. There was this fun little creek right behind out campsite that we went to go play in but the water was ice cold and Avery hated it. She got really mad when I put her feet in it. After all the swimming and playing it was bed time for Avery and we made her, her own little sleeping bag in out tent.
After Avery went to bed we sat around the campfire and just had alot of fun. We roasted marshmallows and looked at the stars. It was alot of fun because we just got to talk and have fun with each other without any interruptions. That night we all froze to death because it was so dang cold and I was very happy when it was time to wake up so that I could go stand by the fire and drink hot chocolate. Cam[ing was so fun and we loved every minute of it. THANKS MOM for making our weekend so fun!! We love you!After we packed up and headed back home we all got cleaned up and went out to dinner where Avery was the star attraction. We had 4 different waitresses come up to us to tell us how beautiful she was. Now I know she is beautiful because she is my baby but it is also alot of fun when other people tell you how pretty your baby is. She sat in her Bumbo on the table with us and just felt like such a big girl. She really likes to look at things now and so we gave her this menu to look at and it was so funny because it was the beer and wine menu and she looked so interested in it.

Aunt Jennifer was at Youth Conference for a couple of the days we were there but when she came home she went on a walk with Avery and they had some good aunt/niece bonding time. While we were at my parents house Avery and I shared the same bed (which I will never do again). She moves so much in her sleep and she pretty much pushed me off a queen size bed. She is a silly girl.Well after all that fun the boys came home all in one piece and I was so happy because I missed my hubby. Avery was so excited to see her dad, she just got a huge grin on her face when she saw him. We stayed one more day and then headed home on Tuesday. We always stop at the same gas station when go to and from Idaho and this time we got shakes and let Avery get out of her carseat for a minute so she could stretch. While she was out she decided that she wanted to drive the car. It was pretty dang cute and she is already just like her daddy loving cars!

Boating Time!

We took Avery on her first boating trip a couple weeks ago and she had alot of fun. We went with aunt Kelsie and uncle Brennan and Duke and it was really fun to hang out with everyone.

We dipped Avery's feet in the water and at first she didn't really like the cold but the second and third time she started to really enjoy it.After that we watched the boys wakeboard and Avery feel asleep. She is so funny because she can sleep through the loudest bumpiest things but if its quiet she cant sleep at all. Kendall did a great job wakeboard and got some really good air. We all cant wait until we can go again. Thanks Bren and Kels for going with us!

Lets go swimming!

This was Avery's first time to go swimming and she LOVED it. She didn't cry at all and even when we dunked her under she just smiled and thought it was funny. I don't know how we got so lucky to have such a fun, easy going baby but we sure do love her. We went to the PG pool with our friends Kyle and Serene. Thanks guys for going swimming with us it was a lot of fun!
