Look at Me!!!!

This morning I tell Avery that she gets to wear a new outfit today and after I got her dressed she said "ohhhh look I so cute I go see in mirror!" Too funny!


She also got new shoes and is so proud b/c she can put them on herself!


Found out she loves to help mommy sweep.....yea for mommy!!!


So cool :)


Daddy put the big swing down to her height and she loves it and yes she's eating trail bologna :)

Check out her cheeks stuffed full of bologna.

She's getting the hang of swinging. She really is growing up too fast!

This morning while I showered Avery was busy putting on my headbands! "Look at me I silly" she says! :) Please note the diaper with the shoes....she wants to go outside!!

We watched Natalie the other day and I told them we could go outside but we need to put their shoes on so they each put on a shoe of Avery's! Silly girls!

Proper's Pool is Open!

What a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend we had. Weather was perfect! I worked Friday and Saturday and loved every minute of it!! It's true I worked at Amish Country Peddler then like I said we went to the circus Friday night then Daddy kept Avery on Saturday and after I got off we went to Mimi and Pop-Pop's and Avery FINALLY got to swim! She was sooo happy!

It didn't take her long to be a fish in the water and can even float on her back w/o any help (besides the life jacket).

Jumping off the side and later she almost jumped in w/o us there and so I wouldn't catch her by the hands like we usually do just the vest and sometimes she would go under. She jumped in straight down and went WAY under and came up and said "all done"...she didn't cry though :)

Mouth open arms were a flapping.

Mimi teaching her how to kick and use her arms.

She still has trouble keeping her mouth closed since she's so excited!

Avery is so happy and loves water!

Blowing bubbles.

Dora is full up :)

Sunday we went to Proper's later in the afternoon and Avery got even braver......she can venture around the pool by herself with the life jacket!

Monday we again went to Proper's late afternoon for more fun, food, swimming and chasing the kitty!

She had just gone underwater.


Helping Mimi water her flowers.

The End!

Some short videos to enjoy!

Kelly Miller Circus

Yea The Kelly Miller Circus came to Millersburg on Friday! So before work I went and got our tickets and we went to the 7:30pm show and Sammie came with us. Avery had a full day with her Nana and Mimi so I knew she would be tired but she still enjoyed her 1st circus. A good start to the Memorial Day Weekend!


On our way to the fairgrounds.

Avery clapping and has 2 fruit gushers stored in each cheek....they were there the WHOLE night!

Avery being silly!

Sammie and me

More clapping at all the performances. We saw Tigers, Elephants, horses, doggies, trapeze, juggler, a guy who balanced, girls who did tricks on a rope, motorcycle and clowns.

My pictures didn't turn out that well since it was dark in the tent.

She's getting really tired.....cuz she's playing with her hair.

Avery got a boo-boo today at Nana's and I told her that will be her 1st of many. she liked the Barney band-aid I put on it.

New Do!

Well I have been thinking about this for awhile now and I finally did it tonight......I cut over 2" off of Avery's hair! I only cut the back of her hair and I think I did a pretty good job and so did Avery. Poor thing will have my fine hair and I was hoping she would get her Daddy's thick hair :(

Her hair that I cut..

View from the back with it wet.

View from the front with it dry.

I hope you like my new do as much as I do :)

Finally A Beautiful Day in Ohio!

Hanging out on the porch with Mommy.


Her neighbor, Brennah, taught her how to go head first down the slide.....It's funny if the slide is hot from the sun Avery says "hot mommy blow it off!"

I can't STRESS how much she loves to swing.

Her first pair of Levi's :)

She also loves bubbles.

Doing her "flip" in the grass. What a beautiful day we had!
