Disney on Ice!

Tony surprised us with Disney on Ice tickets last Fri. night that a guy at work gave him for free! So nice! Avery loved it! It was so fun to see her little face light up and she got so excited to see the characters. As soon as it ended she said,"Let's do it again". These pics aren't all that great but they did have some good special effects, costumes, etc. and the ice skating of coarse was great!

Draper Temple Open House

We went to the Draper Temple open house on Sat. morning. It was the last day of the open house and extremely crowded but so worth it! It is beautiful! We feel so blessed to have so many temples surrounding us and for the blessings it they bring into our lives!

Happy 3rd Birthday Avery!

We celebrated Avery's 3rd birthday today! We had a little family party at my parents house and had cake and ice cream and then she opened some fun gifts. This yr. she blew out the candles on her cake all by herself. Yesterday we took her to the animal farm at Thanksgiving Point and let her feed the animals and ride the pony. She loves those pony rides! She is at such a busy stage in her life right now! Very curious about EVERYTHING and very playful! She loves to have us read her stories, talk, sing, and dance! She is a very happy and healthy little girl and we feel so blessed that she is ours! We love her so much and love watching her grow but I do wish she would slow it down a bit!

Little Imagination!

What will she come up with next! The first 2 pics are her talking on the banana phone. It's the funniest thing to watch! She loves bananas lately but she always will sit there and pretend to talk to who knows who before she eats it. The 3rd pic is her little makeover she gave herself with the markers. I turn my back for 2 min. and this is what she did. Even though it was naughty how can you not resist laughing at this little face of hers!

29 Weeks and Counting!

So here is the BIG belly! My sister came over and took a few pics of me with my pregnant belly. I haven't been good about getting pics of me while pregnant with Avery or this one. So thanks Sarah for documenting this special and big time in my life! I'll be sure to return the favor when it's your turn! Only 2 1/2 months left. I can do this! The one thing that I love about being pregnant is feeling the baby move so I'm going to enjoy that as much as possible and forget about the aches and pains that come along with the last trimester!

Katie's Wedding!

The beautiful bride!

Dancing the night away!

My cute cousin Katy was sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on Dec. 30th! They had a reception that night at her parents house in Alpine. It was so much fun! Avery looked so cute in her new skirt she got for Christmas! They had a dance in their gym and Avery danced the night away! Congrats Katy and Andy!

Christmas 2008!

Silly Girl!

My parents got Avery the cutest skirt for Christmas!

Learning how to ride her bike with Uncle Jake's help!
So proud of herself for figuring out how to ride her bike!

Christmas was so much fun with Avery this yr! She loved the Christmas lights, songs, nativity scenes, etc. She was so excited on Christmas morning when she woke up to her train set, wagon, and doll. Yes, Santa brought her a train set. She loves them! I always thought this would be a great gift for my little boy someday but they make great gifts for girls too. Later on that morning we went to my parents house in Alpine to open gifts with them and have a great dinner. My parents got Avery a bike that she loves and rides on every hr. of every day since Christmas! A few nights before Christmas we had dinner with Tony's family and exchanged gifts with them and I of coarse forgot my camera. I'm so grateful for family and friends who made this holiday season so memorable!
