Is it really October?

Avery is walking now. Can I get a WHOOP-WHOOP or some days can I get an “UT-OH”. Mr. Independent has recently made in known that he is too cool to ride in his stroller now. At the mall last night he was everywhere. He wouldn’t ride and didn’t want to be carried. Needless to say, Andrew and I left the mall worn out! I will admit though, as frustrating as it can be when they find their “independence”; they are still so stinkin’ cute! AHEM! Now when he wants something he follows me around with his hand out or when he has something he doesn’t want anymore he follows me around and does the “UH-UH” noise to get my attention so he can hand the item over. Bless him!

I just can’t believe how fast they grow up!

One minute you have this:
And the next you have this:

Crazy! Times goes by too fast!

Anyway, everything else is going good on the home front. I just started a new quarter at school. I’m taking College Algebra, for the second time, so we shall see if it gets easier each time you take it. I’m also in Human Growth and Development. It seems like it will be quite an interesting class.

Hope you all are doing well!

This time last year...

Escapee

Has anyone seen a really cute 11 month old anywhere? He was being held in the cabinet jail cell and now he's gone! He was caught on camera during his escape. This 28 pound male may be headed your way to steel your heart away with his adorable smile!

He was last seen here:








(Disclaimer: This is an exaggerated story. This morning, Avery just so happened to discover that he could climb into the cabinets. What makes the story oh so more cute is that he was wearing his new pajamas that he got from the Alcatraz when my parents were in California last week. On the Pajamas it says: "Rejected from Alcatraz for being too cute.)

The Beach

We're Back

Well we are back from the beach! It seems like I've been gone forever. We had the best time and didn't want to come home!!! Since there is so so so much to do (i.e. LAUNDRY/UNPACKING)I won't post about our week at the beach tonight. Hopefully I'll get caught up on things around here in a day or so and then I'll tell you all about our trip!

Weekend

What a great weekend we had! Friday night the whole family went out to eat at Outback! MMM fattening YUMMY! Avery got a car this weekend. Oh how he loves to ride in it. He screams doesn’t like to have to get out of his car. Avery loved the fireworks, although he was more interested in being pushed around in his car. Today, Sunday, Avery’s grandparents and great grandma (on his dad’s side) came to visit him. He played and played and played. Finally he couldn’t fight it anymore and he is now sawing logs sleeping so peacefully in his bed.
Oh how we love summer time. The garden is growing and we’re eating yummy homegrown foods and this week we are packing for the beach. We are leaving out Friday night! WHOO-HOO. I can’t wait!!!
Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!

Here are a few pics from last weekend and this weekend.
