And we're walking!!!

Well my camera sucks and I caught it at the wrong moment. But, Avery is walking. Her best record so far is 11 steps. Yeah!!! Its really cute. She loves crawling up the stairs at my parents house. She just crawls around so fast it is really unbelievable.

Avery loves to "read" books. She turns the pages and feels all the fuzzy parts of the books. Its quite cute.

You are all probably wondering about the bruise on her head. Holy cow it was so sad. She is taking some steps on her own now and I just want to put a helmet on her head or some bubble wrap or something. She totally fell and hit her head on a chair. It was horrible.

Man, Avery loves this tape measure.

Here is the Fam at my sister Corins graduation.

Mud Run

This last Saturday was the Mud Run here on the Naval Air base in Lemoore. It was a 5mile run through the mud. It was so much fun. We literally had to swim through mud neck deep at some points during the run. There was walls to climb over, tunnels to climb through, crawling on your hands and knees through the mud, and rope swings. It was crazy. These pictures are of me, my sister Kilean and my friend Ali Ross. We would have taken more pictures, but sure enough our battery died. Gotta love it. Anyways, we literally had to duct tape our shoes to our feet. It was so hard because the mud was 2-3 feet deep in some places. We had so much fun though. It was the hardest 5 miles I have ever run. No joke. Our shoes were caked with mud and so were our clothes. I think we weighed an extra 20 pounds. After the race there were fire trucks spraying people off. Next year we are thinking unitards. You know, the ones that triathlon runner wear. The ones that are all spandex and have just a hole cut out for your head. It was a blast.

Harry Potter

Well, my parents moved and in their new house they built a Harry Potter room under the stairs for Avery. It is really cute. She has a bunch of toys in there. It is pretty funny to see her just sitting in there playing. Our little girl sure is getting good at standing. She pulls herself up and balances by herself. She even took two steps the other day. Aaahhhh!! My baby is growing up!!

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mommas day everyone. Well, all the moms anyways. So , this year Avery gave me such a cute Mothers Day gift. This morning we were playing on the ground and she just started crawling. It was so cute and about time. She has been rolling around and scooting around for a while now and had mastered going backwards, but she finally did it. Yeah for Avery. Its been a few days now and she is already trying to stand up on her own. I kinda figured she wouldn't crawl for long. It sure is cute though.


So Avery has been doing this face lately and I had to get it on camera. It is like she is feeling her teeth with her lip or something. It is funny because she will be playing on the ground talking away and suddenly she stops and sure enough she is making this face.

Purple hair

So Avery is getting another tooth. We are pretty lucky because she is only really fussy for a day or so. Nothing else is really new. Well, about the picture below. We are in the middle of helping my parents move and we were cleaning behind the couch and found this rubber ball that popped. Avery loved playing with it. There was a big hole in it where it popped, so I put it on Avery's head. I have seriously never laughed so hard in my life. She was just pulling on the rubber hairs and they were snapping on her head and she was cracking up. It was great!!





I am so stressed!!

Just set me in my hi chair, give me a cucumber, and I am good!! Well, for about 5 minutes!!

I love tomatoes!! Who would have thought?

We are getting a tooth!!!

Avery is getting a tooth. It is so cute. Anyways, she just loves the really cold stuff now. I ground up some frozen fruit and put it in a big mug and she was chugging it. It was really funny. I could not get her to stop and then of coarse she had it all over the place.



Since Avery just has a layer of fuzz, which is growing little be little, I decided she should probably wear some type of bows or something. So, I decided to maker her some. They turned out pretty darn cute.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone. We had a pretty normal Easter this year. We went to the park with some friends on Saturday and played games and had an egg hunt. And on Sunday we had family dinner. It was so fun to dress Avery up for her first Easter. She is such a little doll!!
