Enjoying the Nice Weather

Avery Grace in her cute little bonnett!
Tanner says, "Cheese me!" He's so silly!
Tim & Tammi, our gracious hosts!
Daddy & Me :)
Sam & Beth, who are expecting a little bundle of joy of their own!! CONGRATULATIONS!

Finally! I think spring has finally arrived...however I'm sure this town still has one snow left in it. YUCK! Our friends Tim and Tammi had us over yesterday. It was so nice to see Tim (and Tammi and the kids too!). We grilled out and had yummy burgers!! We had a great time hanging out with our friends!

Time to baby-proof!

Avery's definitely becoming more mobile these days! It's really neat to see how much she's grown. We just can't believe she's 8 months old already! FYI-she can hold on to the things in the pictures, but she hasn't figured out how to walk while doing it. She still likes Mommy and Daddy's hands for that. :)

Big Girl Bath!

Since Avery can barely fit in her infant tub anymore, I decided it was probably time to try the big girl bathtub.

The weekend after Easter Matt, Avery and me headed down to Boulder for our friends Heather & Kevin's wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous!! We are so happy for them!

Catching Up

Date night for Mommy and Daddy! Thanks to Meemaw & Papa for watching Avery so we could enjoy some dinner and a movie! :)

How sad somebody! Meemaw and Papa's last night with Avery. :(

OK, so now I don't feel as bad after looking at Beth's blog! Hee Hee Here are some pictures of when my mom and stepdad were in town. Enjoy!

Our friends Sam, Brian and their little boy Nolan left on Monday to head to a different city and start another exciting part of their lives. We had a going away party for them on Saturday at our house and I think a good time was had by all. We didn't get to bed until 2 am!! I think that's the latest I've stayed up in a couple years! hahaha
I think I'm still in denial about the whole situation, so I will be writing more later about Sam and Brian and what their friendship has meant to me and my family. It's very hard to say goodbye to such wonderful people, but I know we will meet up again soon. :) Here are some pics from our evening of fun!

Exciting News!

All Avery wants for Christmas is her two front teeth!!! She officially has two teeth on the bottom and thanks to Brian, I was finally able to get a really good picture of them! :) Thanks Brian!!

Girls Night Out!

The girls had a last "Harrah" a couple weekends ago. We had a great time and didn't even cause any trouble! At least I don't think so! haha Enjoy the pics.

Back from hiatus!

Nolan and Avery posing for the camera! How cute!!
Having a good time playing!!
Avery & Evan goofing around.
Tanner and Avery. Look at that chubby belly! Hee Hee
Avery and the boys! (Tanner & Evan)

I apologize for the little "break" I took from blogging! We have just hired a third person at work, which has left me no time to blog! haha You know...since I blog at work and not at home. HMMMM...maybe that's why I'm behind? haha Anyway, much has happened since I last updated. Here are some pics of Avery's playdates with Evan, Tanner and Nolan. How fun!!

Happy Birthday Tammi!!

Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday Tammi! But, Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I'm at work...I don't have any pictures...but I'll try to get one up tonight...also I'll try to post more pictures of our weekend. I've been a slacker!

Yeah! No work!

So about a month ago, we had about 10 inches of snow, the roads were horrible and there were blizzard-like conditions. Today, we have a couple inches of snow on the ground, the roads are probably not good but it's suppose to get better by this afternoon. Which day do you think they called off school here???? Well, let me give you a hint, it wasn't when we had 10 inches of snow. My boss called ag 7:00am this morning and told me we had a long weekend! Woo Hoo!!! Although, I'd prefer to have a long weekend when it was nice outside...but that's ok. I'll take what I can get!!!!!!!!!

Just thought I'd share my good news :)

What a Ham!

We got Avery's 6 mos/Easter pictures taken last Saturday and as usual, Avery hammed it up! haha Although, now that she's getting older she's getting a little uneasy about strangers so in between all the cute poses we caught on film, there were a few bouts of crying. So what do you all think?? Does she still look just like Daddy or is she starting to look like me at all?????????

Daddy and Me

Avery is just getting such a personality! It's so fun to play with her and watch her mimic us. Here are some pics of Daddy and her goofing around :)

Goodbye Friends

On Saturday, Keelee had a going away party for Julie and Bryan. I still can't believe the day is here already. :( It's very sad and we will miss them very much. I am so glad to have gotten to know you both and I will never forget your friendship. Hopefully we can meet up again someday.

Some pics from the party:

Happy Birthday Beth!

I just realized when I posted yesterday that I didn't say Happy Birthday Beth!!!!!!! I'm sorry, I don't have a picture on my computer at work so no pic with this post. I hope you enjoyed your day and I'm sorry I didn't get this up on your actual b-day :(

March Birthdays

I'm not as good as my friend Tammi on getting pictures scanned in to post on the blog so unfortunately, I don't have pictures for now for all my friends and family with March birthdays. But, even though March is now almost over I wanted to say Happy Birthday!!!!

Look What I Can Do!!!

Woo Hoo! We've reached another milestone!! This morning when I set Avery down to play with her dinosaur toy she decided it was finally time to show me how she can sit all by herself!!! We're still working on staying up but she can stay up all by herself now for a pretty good while. At least until Sammi the dog comes by, gives her kisses and then knocks her over! Ha Ha

Mmm....squash!

Yummy! Squash! We've experimented with peas and now squash and so far so good. I think she likes squash a little better than peas, but really anything thing we put in her mouth she eats. Just like her momma and daddy!! We love food!
