Spring Break!

Last week was Allison's spring break, so we visited a park that is close to our new house, Avery played on her favorite kitchen appliance and had some fun in the bath tub.

Pool Party

We finally took Avery swimming for the first time on Matty's birthday. She loved the water although she was a little apprehensive at first. She enjoyed patting/slapping the water, holding the pool toys (especially the blue boat) and "swimming" with mom and dad. We will definitely be visiting the pool again (especially because Avery took a LONG nap afterwards!)

Happy Easter!

Avery had a great first Easter! We started the day at church and then headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's for lunch. Avery enjoyed her first Easter basket...she especially liked the paper grass and spread it all over the room.

Bath Time!

Bath time is by far Avery's favorite activity, and for that reason we have now moved her into the "big girl" bathtub.

BFF!!! (Best Friends Forever)

Avery has started to become more cuddly with Scout, and Scout puts up with it most of the time. I don't think Scout has any idea how bad it's going to get when Avery gets bigger.....

Avery IS a girl!

Here are a few fun pictures of our "girly" girl, Avery! I know it is our own fault for giving Avery a gender neutral name and not dressing her in frilly girly clothes, but I was getting tired of people commenting on what a cute little boy! So, Grandma made Avery bows in every color and now there is no mistake that Avery is a girl! Plus, I think she looks pretty adorable in them! Avery will be 10 months next week and is busy, busy, busy. She loves to cuddle with Scout, explore the house and wishes she could walk. She is such a joy to us and a ton of fun to be around!

Two States in One Week!

We spent last weekend in San Diego for a friend's wedding. We stayed at the brand new Hard Rock Hotel, which was really nice but not really a family setting (Avery had to take a bath in the sink because there wasn't a bath tub!) We had a great week of traveling but we are happy to finally be home!




We spent President's Day weekend at Schweitzer Mountain in Idaho with friends from college. Matty had a great couple of days snowboarding. Avery did not enjoy wearing her snowsuit in the snow but did had fun playing with the other kids there!
