Pictures continued.....

Avery keeps Haylee entertained as she blows and spits!!  They were having fun together, but there was no way I was going to get a picture with them both looking and smiling, besides every time the camera snapped Avery crawled away and I had to get her back and sit her down again...

I love this picture of Avery!  You can see her two little bottom teeth...I love when she scrunches up her nose and blows in and out...so funny and so cute!  We could just watch her for hours!

I LOVE this picture of our sweet baby sleeping on her daddy's shoulder!  She is the BEST thing EVER....we are soooo Blessed!!!!

This is a funny one of  Avery playing with her toys!  She is soooo silly!  

Hope you have a GREAT week!!!!

FUN weekend

This is one of the only 3 pictures I have from the reunioun!  I am so sad about that, but I totally forgot to pull out my camera until the very end.  It was a lot of fun!  It was really good to see people I haven't seen in 10 years!  And, I am happy to say that everyone still looks the same!  We all still like we could be 18 years old still and in high school!  (Not really but it sounded good)

Saturday was Avery's 10 month birthday!  I can't believe our baby is already 10 months old and we will be celebrating a birthday in 2 months!  =(  Time flies when your having fun!!  We took Avery to the parade and to Western Days in old town Lewisville on Saturday!  We had a lot of fun!  Avery LOVED the parade!  She LOVES the music and the band...she was dancing and clapping the whole time!  It was so cute....everyone around us was looking at her and laughing with her the whole time!  Before the parade started she was waving at everyone that walked by....she is becoming quite a little ham!

She was soo happy to get a pom from the Dallas Desperado's dancers!  She had a lot of fun shaking it around!  I can't wait to see her some day out on the sidelines cheering on her team!!!

After the parade we met up with Avery's friend Maddox!  He doesn't know it yet, but they are going to be buddies soon!  He is such a cutie!  He is our friend's Amy and Brandon's little boy!

This is a picture from last weekend.  We hung out with our friends and their babies!  This is Avery and Haylee!  Haylee is sooo still and so quite compared to Avery who love to climb all over her!  They will bff's soon!  Haylee is our friend's David and Donica's baby!  She just turned one!!  We love getting together with them and letting the babies play!!

10 Years....I can't believe it!!!

I Can NOT believe it has been 10 years since my husband graduated high school! Seriously, where does the time go? I have always heard people asking that question, but I have never felt it the way that I do now! Especially after having a baby that will be 10 months tomorrow, don't even ask me where the past 10 months have gone!!! I wish time would just SLOW down! But, back to the reunion. I can't believe it has been 10 years since we have walked the halls of good ol' LHS together! I remember thinking that he was the GREATEST guy I had ever met ( I still think that), but I was totally smitten with him! I know I drove my family crazy talking about "Ryan this and Ryan that!!" I was in LOVE with that boy and I still am!!!! I met him when I was 16 years old and we had a typing class together! I am sooo thankful that we were placed in that class together! I know that was the plan long before it happened and I am sooo thankful for that blessing and God's hand in our lives! I look back on those days as some of the funnest times! I remember driving around in Ryan's little black truck, he would never ride with me b/c he was afraid he would be in an accident, I didn't have the best driving record! We just have the best memories of high school and I can't believe it all happened 10 years ago!!! It is just soo amazing how God works in our lives! I am so thankful for our high school years we got to share together!!! Happy 10 year reunion honey! I am so blessed to have you as my husband and I thank God everyday that he brought us together over 10 years ago in Mrs. Stamey's typing class!!!!! GO Farmers!!

Together we CAN make a difference!!!!

New "TRICKS" and New Hair do!!

Avery LOVES her ice cream truck!  It is one of her favorite toys that her Mimi and Grandpa got for her when she was in the hospital!

While her Daddy was watching her on Saturday morning she learned a new trick with her ice cream truck!

Look Daddy I can stand up all by my self!!  It was sooo funny!  The whole time she was trying to stand up she was looking up at her daddy like she was sooo proud of her self, but also like she knew she wasn't suppose to be doing that!  But, I guess it confused her b/c I was laughing the whole time!  Of course, we made her sit back down just as soon as I was able to get some blog worthy pictures!!  Oh well, she was having fun!!  She is such a little monkey and really lives up to her nick name!  She loves to climb up on stuff or over stuff or out of stuff...she is always climing!!!  We have sooo much fun with our little monkey!

I have never been a fan of little kids with the big "fountain" hair do on top of there head!  I actually use to laugh a little at them!  That is of course until I discovered Avery's hair was long enough to try it out!  And, I must admit I never thought it was cute, UNTIL I saw it on my baby!  I think it is the cutest thing EVER!  We modified Avery's a little bit and made piggy tails!  They lasted about 10 minutes!  Our baby USE  to love wearing her BIG bows and pretty clips, but now she has learned to rip them out along with her hair the instant she realizes they are in there!  So, much for all the big bows I LOVED sooo much!

GO COWBOYS!!

Even though Avery has tons of toys to choose from her favorite thing to play with is the pizza box!  She kept herself entertained by this forever!

Then, Bruiser showed her how to dump out all of his toys, but he didn't really want to share them with her...

Finally, it was time to watch the Cowboys with her daddy!

Avery and her daddy had soooo much fun cheering on The Cowboys together!!  She gets so excited and yells at the t.v. just like her daddy does!

Doing the Dishes

Avery loves to help her mama do the dishes!  She has learned to stand up by the dishwasher and take all of the dishes out.  She can stand there and "play" forever and she has also learned to throw a little "fit" when the dishes are done and she has to move!!  She is such an awesome baby!  She is getting really big and learning new things everyday!  Yesterday she said "bye-bye" for the first time!  It was sooo cute!  Of course, she will not say it when we are actually telling someone bye bye!  I can't believe she is already nine months old....our little baby is getting soo big!  =(

FINALLY...

Well after being a blog stalker for a couple of months now, I decided to try one of my own!  I am not nearly as interesting as the people who I stalk!!  But, I thought it would be a great way to keep a journal of our lives!  Plus, I have a totally awesome and beautiful baby girl who I thought our family would love to read about daily!!  

I have been married to my awesome husband Ryan for 5 years now!  We met in high school when I was a sophomore and he was a junior and we have been together pretty much ever since!  Our lives are blessed beyond my greatest dreams!  We have a healthy little girl that I NEVER take for granted, our second baby a french bulldog named Bruiser who thinks he is a baby as well...we have a great family and friends, we are members at an amazing church!  We are so thankful!!!  Hopefully I will be good at this blogging thing......Have a GREAT weekend!
