Happy Birthday Brian!

I hope you don't want to kill me for posting this picture Brian, but it is just too funny!! This was taken last year at Keelee and Lou's wedding when Sam, Tammi and I were all pregnant. Brian apparently was having "pregnancy envy"!! HAHAHAHAH Just Kidding!! Happy Birthday!! Hope you enjoy your golden day!!!

Had to post these...don't come after me!!

Sorry, these are just too cute to not post (of course I'm biased!). And no, the water is not THAT dirty...poor Avery had to take an oatmeal bath because she had an itchy rash everywhere. :( She absolutely LOVES taking big girl baths now. She just sits in the tub and plays with her toys...splashing water all over Matt and I of course! haha

Happy Birthday Mom-in-Law!

Happy Birthday Rose/Mom/Grandma!!!!!!! We hope you have a great and special day! Can't wait to see you in a few weeks (again)! :)

For those of you who don't know....my wonderful mother-in-law came out for 2 weeks to help me out while Matt was away. I don't know what I would have done if she hadn't come because I had a work conference that was out of town, which of course I had to go to. Thank you so much!!!!!! I can't even tell you how much I appreciate you! All our love!

Thanks Aunt Michelle, Uncle Eric, Alexis and Riley

for the Busy Ball Popper! Avery LOVES it! She cracks up laughing at the balls when they pop out, but hasn't quite figured out how to get them back in the machine and NOT in her mouth. :) Now we just have to worry about the dog picking the balls up as she thinks that she should be allowed to have a turn as well. I wonder how we can teach Sammi that Avery's toys are not hers and vice versa. We spend money to buy really cool toys for Avery and what's the first thing she goes for when she's crawling around on the floor? Sammi's toys!!!!!!!!!

Good Ol' Camping Fun!

Thanks to Tim and Tammi for letting us hang out with them while they went camping last weekend. Matt, Avery and I headed out to Curt Gowdy to play and had a great time sitting by the campfire roasting weenies and marshmallows!! As you can see from the picture, Evan already thinks girls are crazy. He's looking at Avery like, "What's the problem silly girl?"! HAHAHA Tanner, Evan and I built a fireplace out of "beautiful" pine cones while Avery hung out with her daddy. Poor Tammi was not feeling so hot, but she was a great sport and stayed to play. :) Farewell to Tim and Tara too! Tim came out to hang with a few of the guys for one last weekend. They aren't going too far, so hopefully we'll get to see them again soon!

Happy 9 Months Old Avery!

This is actually one day late, but better late then never! I can't believe my little munchkin is 9 months old already! Time has flown by so fast!! Now that she is getting older and more active, it was VERY difficult to get a picture of her sitting still. I finally had to resort to taking a picture while she sat on Grandma's lap to have a drink. :)

Congratulations Sweet Pea!

I just want to say congratulations to my Sweet Pea on his promotion! I'm very proud of you and can't wait to see you tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miss you bunches!!!!

Going down the slide!!!

Sorry for taking such a long hiatus from blogging everyone! We headed to California over Memorial Day weekend and then I had a conference for work pretty much all last week! Life has been crazy here and I'm looking forward to Matt coming home and hopefully life returning to somewhat normal.
Here are some pictures from our California trip!
