Friends

Last night we went to my friend Marci's to see her little girl. She is now 3 months old, so lets just say it was about time. She also has 2 boys and Avery loved them right off. We ate yummy chili and let the kids frost Halloween cookies. Avery just wanted to dig into the frosting, but I helped her frost one. She was such a mess by the end frosting was everywhere. The rest of the night the kids just played and me and Marci were able to catch up a little bit. Mazie is so adorable and is such a good baby. Thanks for such a great night, so happy that we finally got to see you.

Little Mazie love her chubs and all!

Avery always finds chairs wherever she goes.

Halloween fun

Yesterday we had a fun day. We started the day off with going to Haden's football game. It was the first time I was able to see him play it was so fun, and the best part they one in the 3rd overtime. Avery of course enjoyed herself playing with all her cousins. Jenny's ward was having a Halloween party, so we went to have some fun. My sister Anne has been in town, so she came along as well. Now the guy in the cheer leading outfit is my nephew Haden. Such a funny costume!! They had a chili cook off and a trunk or treat. It was such a fun night and Avery's favorite thing was running around. We walked around to the cars to get candy for Avery well I guess more for me because she didn't seem to care. Love this holiday and the weather such fun times!

Baby fat!

I have been looking through old pictures and I miss Avery's little chubs! She has thinned out and become taller and its so sad to see the baby fat leave. Its so crazy to look back on old pictures and to see how they grow so fast. I went to her 12 month appt. which was suppose to be 2 months ago, but we finally made it. She is 17 lbs and 14 oz and in the 1% for her age. I didn't think she was that small, but I need to fatten her up I guess! She is 29.6 inches and in the 36%. The doctor said I don't need to worry about her weight unless its something that doesn't change. I go again next month for her 15 month, so lets hope she gains a little weight. The doctor said she is perfectly healthy and is doing well.

Our weekend

Last Friday I went with my friend Laci to a pumpkin patch in Ogden. It was such a perfect day to be outside it was so warm we didn't even have to wear a jacket. Avery had so much fun running around with her buddy Kaden. It was the cutest little pumpkin patch and the best part is it was free. Laci's brother also came with his nice camera and took lots of pictures of the kids for us. Avery had so much fun running around and even posed for a few pictures.

After the pumpkin patch they heard about this orange wall on 25th street and wanted to take pictures by it. We never saw an orange wall, but this was the closest. Laci's brother is going to photo shop them to make the wall brighter orange. This was Kaden's halloween costume, but we put Avery in it and she loved it. I was surprised she wore it because she hates anything on her head. Lately I can't get her to wear hats or bows, so I was shocked. She was posing so cute and was just being a doll! Thanks Laci for letting us tag along we had such a fun time.

Brett was working on Saturday night and i decided to have a mommy daughter night. Since it could be one of the last days of warm weather I wanted to be outside. We went to the Ogden parkway I just love this place, and so pretty with all the fall leaves. We took a nice hour and half walk, but of course with a few stops so Avery could get out and run around. She is now at the point where she doesn't want to be in her stroller, and she will scream til you let her out. We had such a fun night and once again I am so sad to see fall end.

14 months!

Avery turned 14 months today. I have missed a few months about the fun things she is doing, and so I thought it was about time.

1- She is getting around so good now she is starting to run everywhere, but seems to still stumble. She will get it in no time.

2- She loves reading books. I will peek on her in her room and she is in the corner with all her books reading. Its so cute to see my little book worm.

3- She is now pointing to everything wanting me to tell her what it is.

4-She is so obsessed with sippy cups. whenever we are any ones house she wants their sippys. she will scream until I get it.

5- Is miss little independent. She wants to everything herself!!

6- Is starting to say a few more words. She finally says ma ma also says hot but it sounds like ha! also says hi and ball in a language I might only understand.

7- Has finally figured out how to get down the stairs.

8- Loves to go through the doors in the kitchen taking everything out. Also loves the dishwasher and fridge.

9- We cannot go anywhere with out her blanket and doll.

10- Is becoming a total girl. She loves putting on necklaces, trying to brush her hair with my makeup brush, and loves when I say you are so pretty.

11- Loves when daddy puts on music and dances with her. She is becoming quite the little dancer.

12- She is being funny with food lately. She is weird about textures like mashed potatoes and bread.. I mean who doesn't like carbs.

13- Will not wear hats or bows anymore.. so sad!

14- Is still always smiling and such a happy girl most the time. She is becoming a little more stubborn and vocal when she wants something, but I think that's normal. She is still sweet as ever.

Me and my girl!

I never take pictures of us two together, so I thought it was about time to start. I couldn't get her to smile, but at least she is looking at the camera. Also I did a post yesterday. Don't forget to look at that one below.

What we have been up to

This past weekend was conference weekend and we were able to spend Sunday with my family. My brother Mitch was in town from California, so it was nice to spend time with him. I always love conference we have my favorite thing my moms cinnamon rolls. I look forward to them all year. We had a great time getting inspired and spending time together. Evie and Stratton were being so cute! they wanted me to take pictures of them while they were posing. Stratton is always so creative and is so much fun to play with.

Avery has been giving kisses for awhile now, but this is the first time I have gotten pictures. I love getting kisses from my little girl they are the best!

Once again it was play time with daddy. She gets flipped, tossed and thrown around, and she loves it. She has so much fun with her daddy, and I love watching those two play.

Can you belive how big she looks in this picture. She is becoming a little toddler. Where has the time gone?

She loves carrying around the wrapping paper. She no longer wants toys. Her new favorite things to play with is boxes, paper, cell phones, keys, remotes.



Lately I have been hanging out with my friend Laci. Both of our husbands are gone alot, so to keep us sane we get the kids together and play. They are becoming good little play mates. Since the weather is still good we have been trying to get outside and enjoy it. Lets just hope it stays a little bit longer.

Avery and I also enjoy the nice weather going for walks just us two. She loves being outside,and I have no idea what we are going to do when winter comes. I guess we will enjoy the weather while it lasts. The nice thing about going for walks is its free what could be better!
