Halloween!!

Well Halloween has come and gone, i hope everyone had a great holiday! We did. We got to go over to Jerry and Helenas for a little party! We took Ave trick or treating for a little bit. She is not quite old enough to get it and was more nervous around the strangers than she was excited for free candy. She did get into GIVING candy tot eh trick or treaters though! Her and little Alan had a blast as Jerry and Helenas home was bombarded with masses of trick or treaters! They kept grabbing giant handfuls of candy to hand out to all the children. It was soo cute! We got to watch a movie and eat burgers! And the pumpin role I must say was absolutley delicious!! The best part of the night though was playing Taboo! Poor Mike was having the hardest time with it and the butterfly scenario was hilarious! You had to be there I think... Mike and Ash dressed up like white trash fro the party and Jerry was Wolverine. They were some pretty awesome costumes! Well that was our halloween. We had a good time and hopefully next year Ave will be more excited!

Avery is an aspiring supermodel...




We made her a cowgirl incase you couldn't tell. She wouldnt not let us put on her bandana....

October

Well October has been crazy! It has gone by so fast, I can't believe its almost over! So here is what we have been up to. We finally got our backyard all done! We now have grass and flowers! Yay! My mom came down and helped us get the grass laid and the sprinkler/drip system all set up. It is so nice to be able to go outside and have grass! I love it!


Some highlights from this month are Cord and I got to take Ave and Addi down to Salt River a couple of times. They loved it! Avery loves water and got right in even though it was freezing! And Addi was very excited she kept swimming and jumping through the water.







We Also got to see Ryan and Velda for a little bit at Mike and Ashleys. It was nice to see them! Speaking of Mike and Ash I think Avery just loves them. Every time we hang out she loves to have pillow and punching fights with her uncle mike and aunt ash! It is so hilarious.







Averys birthday was this month. She turned two!! We invited folks over and had a partay! It was a little nuts with all the people in our tiny house but we made it work and had a great time! Raylin was hilarious, she just ate the whole time. She would even steal other peoples food and just down it, where does it all fit? Lol And her dancing! She was a highlight of the night. We also got to go to the park and play a little frisbee with all the kids. Thanks to everyone who came, Avery loved it!







For Averys birthday we got her a trampoline. She loves her JUMP as she calls it. Here are some pictures of her on it.






So thats it for now. I hope everyone has a great rest of October and Happy Halloween!

Another Vegas Weekend

So Ave and I flew down to Vegas again this past weekend for a double birthday party for my niece and nephew Rory and Aidric. It was very fun, we got to hang out and help get everything ready for the party. We got to see my grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins, as well as friends we hadn't seen in forever. Amy and Tim your little girls are so adorabale congrats! There were some downs though. Ave had a bit of trouble sleeping so we only got a few hours a night, but we made it through! Here are some pics of Ave at the party and when we got home.

Here is Aidric the Bday Boy going at the cake like a champion!

Vegas and Sleep

So Avery has had a full weekend. We drove to Vegas and then up to Cedar to see Velsa and Steve, Emily, Nate, Mjay, Trist and Ransom. She went to bed late and ran around played some football with guys and got chucked around by the men in house. She loved every minute. She even saw some baby birds in a nest outside the house with her Aunt Emily. It was very fun. Well we drove back to Vegas and are now haing out with my mom. This morning we woke up and played and then swam and aftert hat Ave was so worn out she went right to sleep. Well after about 2 hours she woke up but was so tired I guess that she fell asleep right on my leg and then proceeded to roll all over a pillow on the floor, staying asleep the whole time. I thought it was funny so I am posting some pictures.

Under Construction

Well everyone our house is almost done!! The upstairs floor is almost done and we just have a little bit to paint and voila! I will actually have a HOME again. I am so excited.
Well Ave is doing great. She learns a new word everyday. She now says water, so yummy, wheres addi? there she is!, shoot, and cheese, whered it go?, teeth, balloon, and poop. We are working on potty training. She will sit on the toilet and wipe but wont go yet but thats ok! Im just proud of the improvements. :)

Late night bloggin'...

So again it has been awhile! I finally have some pics to post. Our newest news is that our loft is almost done! I finaly get to paint and then put the floor in and voila! Our loft will be done! Im so excited! Avery is crazy as usual. Today at church she made it up to the stand twice during testimonies before I could catch her. I dont know if I should be proud she is so fast or depressed that i cant outrun my 2 year old. I swear I can't set her down without her running off. SHe loves to be chased and play hide and seek. lol SHe has learned some new words. Kitty (thanks to Handy Manny), Chocolate (she even knows where the syrup is), and Cord. Yup She calls daddy COrd. It was hilarious, i called up to him to tell him dinner was done and next thing I know Avery is yelling, "Cowd! Cowd!" Lol she calls him that all the time now. She had a really fun day at Rachels on Friday. She got to go swimming for a few hours and I hear she had a blast and even got burger king for the first time! Thank you so much Rachel! You are a life saver! She got a little burnt, but lets be honest she needs some sun! So that is whats up with us. Summer school is almost done! Im so excited! Thanks to Ash for hangin with me the other day and helping me with my FASFA so I can continue schooling lol. And for helping me get ideas for my loft! Maybe you can help me paint it! Only if you want. I hope everyone is great ill try to update more! Here are some pics of ave. She is getting huge! These are some belated birthday cake pictures! She got a little messy... Below are some pics of when we visited Emily and Nate in Utah. We went up and the guys did some bike jumping into this little pond. Nasty..
