Owen

Owen came home on my due date October 4th..what an amazing day that was.. The hardest part was leaving Olivia there. Owen had a rough go at first he had acid reflux horrible. But with the correct medicine we finally got it under control. 

He is such a happy baby always giving us huge smiles! He loves being held and most of all being talked to he loves attention! He loves to eat as you can tell..his cheeks have taken over his neck. He is now 13 pounds 10 ounces from 2 pounds 6 ounces that is pretty amazing! 

Since his acid reflux is under control he sleeps a ton better. He use to have to sleep in his car seat, but he has now graduated to the crib yeah!! He loves his sisters, and especially loves the attention he gets from Avery. He has the biggest blue eyes they are to die for! He is still a baldy, but has a little patch of red hair in the back. He is such a miracle and we feel so blessed to have him home.

Halloween 2012

 Halloween this year was so magical, and the best yet! Avery was so cute this year..She totally got the concept and she couldn't wait.. The weather made it even better we didn't have to wear coats..loved it!

Daddy stayed home with the twins and handed out candy. The other thing that made Halloween even better is that Olivia came home! 

 We went trick or treating with Claire and Anya. Avery and Claire were so excited to be together. They were on a mission they would run from house to house. They kept saying that this was the best day ever!! Avery couldn't wait t eat her candy she had to eat it along the way. 

We stayed out for a few hours, and they could of kept going! she got tons of candy and had a blast! She was the cutest ladybug ever.. After we got home daddy took her to show off her costume to her cousins..

Avery turns 4!

Avery woke up to her door decorated with crape paper and balloons. She LOVED it!! she thought it was the coolest thing ever! She had a blast running through it and tearing it down. She had been waiting for her birthday forever and she was so excited it finally had arrived! 

She couldn't wait to open up presents, so I let her open up the presents from daddy and I.. She was so excited about her new outfit that she had to put it on right away.. She also loved her tea set..we had a tea party with Fancy Nancy.. After presents we headed off to lunch with daddy. Her favorite food is spaghetti , so I thought it would be fun to take her to spaghetti factory, but when we got there it was closed...its only open for dinner..bummer! So we went to Francesco's Italian village instead..It was delicious and Avery loved it! We also stopped by Shopko to see if we could find her last request for a bday present..She wanted Dora goggles, and I had looked everywhere, so we tried one more place..and best of all they had them..she was so excited she wanted to use them right then..

 That night was Avery's birthday party with her cousins. Avery requested a swimming party for the big 4! We invited my family and a few friends. Of course she had a blast and so did all the kids..We swam for a  couple of hours, and Avery loved showing off her amazing swimming skills! 

 Harmons did not make the correct cake that I ordered, but Avery loved it..if you can't tell by her huge smile!! She loved all of the attention on her while they everyone sang Happy birthday.. She could not stop smiling!!

She got spoiled with presents..and to top it off we had cake and ice cream. Such a fun birthday, but I am so sad she is 4! I love my little Avery girl..Here is to many more birthdays!

Avery's 4th bday

 We started the birthday festivities the day before her bday with the Muirs. Grandma had party hats and noise makers for the kids. They had way too much fun with the noise makers. Avery was so excited about having a day just for her. She loves attention! 

She got such fun presents from her cousins. She got clothes, tinkerbell, fancy nancy doll and book, cinderella book..she is always so spoiled.

Her favorite part of the night getting to make a wish and blow out her candles..Happy 4th birthday to my sweet Avery! Where has the time gone??

24th of July

 We spent the 24th with my family. We started the day off at the Kearns pool. Avery and Evie are the cutest cousins ever! At the pool they have music going and Avery and Evie decided they wanted to do a little dance show for us. It was so cute!! They are both super coordinated and I think we have 2 future dancers on our hands. 

Just posing for some cousin love!! This pool has so much do and it entertains everyone. Slides and diving boards for the big kids. We had a blast!

After swimming we headed over to Aimee's for a bbq and fireworks. Avery loved the sparklers she could not get enough of it..

 Avery is always excited about fireworks, but once they start she covers her ears. She has always been sensitive to noise, and I guess it hasn't changed. But after the firework was done she would cheer and want more..she is such a funny girl!

Such a great day with the family. We just wish Owen and Olivia could have joined us. We can't wait to celebrate with them next year!

Swimming with cousins

I am so far behind on blogging!! This summer we were invited to my uncle Blair's house to swim. Lila, Afton and Emmit joined us. They have such a fun pool with diving board and slide. Avery was not afraid at all she went off the diving board like a pro! This girl loves the water way too much..we are so sad that summer is over..Next year Owen and Olivia can join us for some swimming fun.. Such a fun day!

July 4th

Can I just say I am so glad we decided to celebrate the 4th of July on the 3rd...The 4th did not turn out as planned!! We started the night off with going to the Riverton parade. Avery loved all of floats, but her favorite was seeing the royalty girls..she wanted to be right up there with them. She of course loved all the candy that was being thrown her way..

We then went to the carnival at the park. Avery was in HEAVEN! She loved all the rides and even was daring enough to ride the rollercoaster. She asked us to go on it a million times, but we were hesitant because she gets scared on the dragon one at Lagoon. But we gave in, and she seemed terrified at first, but she loved it! 

She about went on every ride and could of gone of each one 10 times, but we ran out of tokens.. We ended our night with corn dogs and funnel cake..so yummy! What a fun family day. We didn't get to see any fireworks, but we had our own fireworks join us on the 4th..Owen and Olivia!
