Gingerbread House

Brinley just hanging out being cute!


Aunt Sarah came over to help Avery with the construction of this cute little house. This is now Avery's pride and joy!

Santa came to Town

Avery loved him from the beginning and had a great little conversation with him. Brinley wasn't so sure about him at first till I guess she realized how comfy his lap was because she made herself comfy real fast and just laid there. It was hilarious to see her go from get me off his lap now to almost falling asleep in it in seconds. Just wish she would have cracked a small smile for the camera but she would NOT!

Halloween 2010

Our little miss ladybug
After being in the cold and rain but was trying to get at least one good pic of Brinley in her costume. Thanks Tyra!
The bee who stings!
My sister-in-law as pooh and again Avery only called her pooh till the costume was off. Silly girl she is!



Aunt Sarah dressed up as Tiger. Avery only called her Tiger while she had the costume on. So funny!

We really struggled this yr getting pics of the girls in their Halloween costumes while they were happy and cooperative so here's what we got to document the celebration. They were a couple of cute bugs. Our festivities included pumpkin carving with Aunt Sarah and Brandon the day before all the fun began. Then the girls had 2 full days of trick or treating at my sister's office, then Lehi main st, and finally at Suncrest with our friends in the cold and rain. Plus a Halloween party put on by their Grandma Susan and I forgot to break out the camera for that one. So busy but so fun!

The last couple of months

Have Been Crazy!!!

The biggest decision we made was to move. Since we can't sell our house(thanks to the great economy) and don't really want to anyways, Tony and I thought it would be a good idea to rent our our house to good renters who won't trash out house which we found and rent a basement apt for a yr so we could get out of student loan debt. We thought we would do this before Avery starts school and we could get away with it without being to uncomfortable for yr. Right!?! We moved about 6 weeks ago and it's a little harder than I thought it would be! The place is cute, small, but cute! We are calling this our year of sacrifice and hopefully it pays off big time!

Next Big News, right around the time we were making the move I found out we will be expecting baby #3 at the end of April and most likely our last baby! It was a BIG surprise to say the least but exciting!

This little girlie turned 18 months a few days ago and is as busy as ever!
We saw Aunt Caitlin cheer in the Highland Days Parade the end of Aug

For our anniversary we went to Snowbird and rode the Peruvian tram up the mountain with some free passes we had. It was awesome!


Miss Avery cut her own hair at my parents the end of Aug. She gave have herself some sweet sideburns and a mullet. So as you can see in the pics below, she now has a bob, a-line hair cut and it's cute but we do miss her long hair!

Kissing the frog



The famous Gardner Village Witches! We love to visit them every Halloween a few times.

Draper Days

The girls playing before we watched some great fireworks in Draper. I love summer and am so sad to see it coming to an end!

Uncle Jake

The girls love their Uncle Jakie and I'm pretty sure he loves them too

Happy Birthday Dad!

My sister's bro in law riding an air chair. First time I've ever seen it done.






My dad turned the big 50 on July 31st so we surprised him by renting a wave runner and taking him to Deer Creek for a day on the lake. My sister's in laws brought their boat up too and her mother in law shares a B-day with our Dad so we had a fun water day celebrating them! My dad is awesome and I love him so much!
