Avery and Outside

Avery is a very busy little girl and if she hears the word outside or sees anyone getting ready to go out she is hightailing it to the mudroom to get her boots and coat on too. Sometimes she will just bring you her boots so you know she wants to go outside now please! If she discovers she is going to be left inside the house she gets very upset and throws a little tantrum. Last weekend was beautiful out and I took her out while Cade was sleeping.


She played with the little gravel rocks around the house. Put them in piles on the stairs and threw them around.

She gave the wagon her best go, but it was hard to pull forward with a railroad tie in front of it.

We had to go and pet the horse and then of course ride it.

And take some time out to pose for a picture with DaD!

Easter Eggs

Cade was very excited about getting to dye Easter eggs this morning


We had to take a picture of the eggs sitting in the dye.

Hard at work!

Joe's wedding reception

Chase was unhappy. Avery kept giving him hugs and he would cry and the harder he cried the more whe wanted to hug him. He wasn't appreciating her love!!


Joe and Karen cutting the cake

Avery playing outside. It was beautiful out and all the kids wanted to do was play outside of course. So I spent most of the reception outside chasing Cade and Avery around.

Avery was tired and not happy about being left behind while her mom and dad went to go dance.

Cade and Grandpa no doubt looking for some more M&M's

"That's Fun Mom!"

Cade thought jumping on the bed with Avery was a lot of fun!


Avery was getting a big kick out of it too!

Rance was laying on the floor and so of course the kids saw this as a great opportunity to hop on.

I think Avery is trying to make sure he doesn't fall asleep!

Although Cade was sure he was riding his horse with a gun hunting big bears I

thought it looked like he was practising for a joust. His imagination is getting very big and very fun!

Putting on Socks

Avery was very determined to put on her own socks after her bath tonight. There were some cuter pictures but they were to racy for the blog and for some reason they wouldn't upload to the blog after I edited them with stars over her unmentionables so you get the idea from these pictures.


She tried very hard to get her sock on but never did quite get it figured out!
