Avery has been off the binky since she was 4 months, but lately she has been obsessed with them. Its her new favorite toy and it just cracks me up. She doesn't need it for comfort or gets mad when you take it away, but she does love playing with it for awhile. Daddy is always dressing her up this time it was one of Annie's bandannas.

Avery is now my little helper now. She loves carrying the broom around the house. She is getting started early on her chores.

Always something new!!

Avery's absolute favorite thing is to run from the couch to the chair. She wants to do all day and when you take her off she cries so hard!! First thing in the morning you will see her run to the couch and she points her finger and makes the sound to get her up. She just giggles the whole time. The other funny thing she does is rocks back and forth banging her head on the back of the couch. She is one wild little girl!!!

So as I have said before I can't get Avery to wear headbands or bows anymore. she takes them right off and it makes me so sad because she is so cute with them on. The other night I put one of my headbands on and she kept it on long enough for me to get some cute pictures. I hope someday she will like to wear them again.

Avery is doing new things everyday. She loves opening and closing the doors. She always is closing the door on me when I am getting ready for the day, but she gets frustrated when she can't open it. She loves going through the cupboards in the bathroom and in about 2 seconds all my hair product is all over the house. She always loves throwing things down the stairs and saying uh-oh!! She loves all her stuffed animals,but especially the panda. She will carry it around and want me to cuddle it and give it kisses. She also is becoming a little dancer always stomping her feet to the music or even without music.

Uncle Wayne

Tomorrow my uncle Wayne leaves to Colorado to live with his sister. He will be missed, but are excited for him to have a new adventure. Wayne's favorite person is my husband Brett, so I had to get them together for a picture. Wayne has been living with my parents for about two years, and it has been so fun to get to know him. Growing up I didn't know him that well since he lived in Arizona, so we are so glad he came to Utah. We hope all goes well with his new move. We love our uncle Wayne and hope he comes back and visits soon.

Stratton and Evie wanted to get in the picture, but no smiles!

Cute kids!

Friday night we had a get together with our friends. I wanted to get all the kids in a picture. Of course most of them wouldn't look in the right direction, but it is still a cute. Its so fun to see the kids play together and now instead of the adults hanging out we love just watching our kids interact. They had so much fun running around and playing on the couch. We sure have a good looking bunch.

Halloween (part 2)

So our original plans with having a family party were canceled due to Haden's football game. Brett and I took Avery and Evie trick or treating before it got too late. Avery didn't really understand it yet, but it was still fun. All she wanted to do was push the stroller and run around. When we would go up to the doors she would sneak away from me and try to get into their houses..such a funny kid! We got back to my sisters right as they were getting back from the game. We ate dinner and were able to hang for a little bit until Avery was done for the day. It was such a fun Halloween weekend and I was so tired by the end. I am so excited for the rest of the holidays. I just love this season!!!

Halloween part 1

Since we couldn't be with both families on Halloween we decided to go to Brett's parents friday night. We dressed Avery all up and had her go to the door and trick or treat at grandmas house. She loved everyone giving her attention on how cute she looked. She loved her rooster costume which is surprising because she hates when anything is on her head.

Of course we had to get Boston dressed up too. He was so cute in his tiger costume! We of course had to have a photo shoot with the kiddos. Boston and Avery are becoming even better little buddies as they get older.

We also had to get all the rest of the family involved. Greg wasn't home from work yet, so we didn't get him I bet he was so bummed! Also Nate was not able to join the festivities since he is still in training for the army we miss him, and hope he comes home soon.

We had a yummy dinner! and then it was time to bob for doughnuts. You never want to play this with Muir boys they just push and shove and even cheat. Jenn's doughnut fell, but she still played so funny! Brett and I were able to stay the night, so we didn't have to hurry home it was so nice. We spent the rest of the night playing games and just talking. We stayed up til midnight that is late for me these days! We had such a great time and can't wait til next year.

Time for a change!

I decided it was time for something different. I had my friend cut me bangs. I love them! Being a hair stylist I always am looking for new ways to do my hair. Thanks Laci!
