Pinata time! Avery had to have a pinata. Ever since Savy had one at her party that is all she has talked about. Even though Avery was the only kid she had a blast. She did not care one bit that she was the only one!

We finally had to call Uncle Clay Clay in to help us out with his baseball skills! He busted the pinata open on the first swing with one hand in his pocket!

Getting ready for Christmas...

It was so nice outside this past weekend that we took advantage and put out all of our Christmas lights. We also took down our tree and all of our Christmas decor. Avery and Brody had sooooo much fun playing in the garage all day and even got to go up into the attic! I love looking at old pictures and things and we found so many old pictures and memories up in the attic. We stayed up there for at least an hour just reminiscing. Ryan and I have been together for A lOOOONG time! It was so fun thinking of all of the fun times we have had together. We had a great Sunday looking through our memories in the attic. Avery and Brody had fun destroying the garage!

We set up Avery's tent and they played in there with Avery's old baby toys we found in the attic!

Just some of our Christmas decor.
The best presents ever!!

Catching up...

It's been a while! I just plugged in my camera to download some pictures!

Look how big my sweet boy is.

Halloween 2011

We had such a fun Halloween this year! Avery is at such a great age. She loved trick or treating! She did such a good job...she went to the door, said trick or treat and thank you each time! I was so proud of her for saying thank you each time! Brody had fun walking through the neighborhood and when he got tired he loved riding on daddy's shoulders!
