Avery's Birthday Weekend

I apologize, but these are in no particular order--

This past weekend, we all went to Olney to celebrate Avery's 1st birthday! We had such a great time visiting with everyone and Avery had a great weekend. Avery had a party with Dustin's family on Saturday evening at Joe's; then on Sunday afternoon, we went to Derek and Miranda's house for a party for Lucas and Avery. It was a busy weekend, but lots of fun. Paula made cupcakes for Avery's party at Joe's and her "smash" cake at the Sanders'. They were so cute! I really appreciate the time and effort that they took. Thanks to everyone for coming to her parties and for the wonderful gifts. I will have to get some pictures of her playing with them and post them soon.

Avery's Birthday Weekend--Cont'd

Here are some pictures from Avery and Lucas' party on Sunday afternoon. Aunt Miranda made her birthday cake and it was great! She got some really cute outfits, a fabulous hat and toys. We had a great afternoon and even got to enjoy some time outside. Thanks everyone!

Super Saturday

Avery found a new pillow. Rose is such a good dog!

My pictures uploaded backwards this time! Just when I thought I had it all figured out! Oh well. We played outside when I got home this evening. The kids had a good time. Avery is really enjoying spending time outdoors. She sat in the grass for the longest time. Mason refused to let me take his picture while were outside so I'll have to try again next time.
So this last picture was from yesterday. Dustin and Mason made Thomas the Train into Thomas the Tank. Mason thought it was the coolest thing. He pushed it all over the house.
I just noticed that Avery has the same outfit on in several pictures. No, she does not need clothes she just wears these a lot because they are really cute but kind of stained. So, they're perfect for playing outside and potentially getting blood on them (surgery).

Avery Update

Avery is doing very well after her surgery. She was such a big girl. We were expecting her to be really fussy after surgery but she hardly even cried. She just really wanted to eat. So after some milk and a nutri-grain bar, she was good to go.
The rocking chair has become her favorite chair in the house. Probably because it's the only one she can get herself into and out of!

New Pictures

These were actually from over a week ago but I'm just now getting around to posting them. They are from when we were snowed in.

Peek a Boo, I see you.

I Want to Haul Gas--or A**

Mason loves to play with calculators. He told me he was in the gas truck with Papaw helping him with tickets. The boy is obsessed with hauling gas...which sounds just like hauling a** when he says it!

Avery loves pulling clothes out of the baskets. It doesn't matter if I've folded them or not. These particular baskets were folded so that makes it even more frustrating; but it's cute nonetheless. I guess I shouldn't procrastinate and just put them away as soon as they're folded.

"I didn't do it, Mommy. They were already on the floor."

These kids of ours love the bath tub.
