HELLO!

Ok...........been out of blogging for quite some time and it's NOW time to get back on the blog wagon! I've missed it;)
.

Avery is FINALLY letting me take pictures of her...
Silly girl+making silly faces=Avery letting me take her picture:)

She's so beautiful and funny. Lately she's not AS bad with the fit throwing etc. although...
.
.

Last month I braved taking both kids to McDonald's by myself...
HUGE mistake!!lol
When it was time to leave I had Cash all loaded in his car~seat ready to go and Avery threw a fit, climbed to the highest part of the play~land and wouldn't come down...Can you say EMBARRASSING!!..yes, embarrassing and yet so funny..(not at the time, of course)
Ya, there's all these little girls telling Avery, 'You're Mom wants you!' And Avery screaming NO!
.
Finally some sweet little girl booted Avery down the slide and shoved her out to me . I LOVE being a parent!!

She adores me ;)..really, she does!

I love Cash! He's been army crawling for a while now but, today he actually crawled!! YeAh!! He's the sweetest most mellow babe a pair of parents could want. He loves Avery and she loves pulling him around the pergo floor by his limbs :)
The other day she told me Cash is her 'best friend' :) So cute.

Pictures!!

I have been the BIGGEST slacker in the blogging area....
We had family pictures done recently by Annie West with Sweet Yesterday's Photography...So much fun and such a good friend!
.
.
.
I'm getting around to putting them on our blog now:)

I can't pick a favorite! I love them all!
.
Thank you, Annie...you're the only person who understands our little Miss Avery ;)

OOoOOoH SO TiReD!!

The other day my poor little baby girl was not feeling so good.....
.
.

......She climbed up onto the kitchen bar, laid down and fell asleep:)
.
.
Sometimes this little stinker makes my entire day with the silly things she does. This is when Avery is most peaceful;)

Halloween!

So............
the last few months have been a struggle for me. With everything from turning down an amazing job offer to continue staying at home to thinking of things for my unbelievably active two year old to do everyday....Home projects, trying to save money, staying on top of a meal plan every 1~2 weeks, trying to build a food storage, birthdays, pumpkin carving, cleaning...I'm mentally exhausted....
.
.
.
Luckily I have such amazing family and friends!

Avery HATES getting her picture taken! WTC???
You'd think a girl that loves to be the center of attention as much as this one would love it. I TRIED to get ANY type of picture with this little stinker in her Halloween costume...
These are the best ANY of us could do...

I LOVE this one below...Classic Avery ;)

Cash is still the SWEEEEETEST little flirt on the planet:)

We did our trick~or~treating on our way to Tracii and Andys house.
This cute little monkey checking out Harley and Avery is Abbys nephew Gage.

I LOVE this picture:) Maloree is getting so big!

PaiNTinG!!

Nothing like painting a FAT rock on a Saturday morning!!

Avery is ALL sorts of busy...I have to figure out ways to keep this child entertained!!;)

Examining the damage...

Don't know if she's quite awake, yet...but still going like she's had 10 red bulls..

With Fall coming faster and faster I really want Avery to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible...plus the weather is so perfect right now!!
.
.
With preschool (hopefully) right around the corner I'm really trying to get Avery into more of a solid routine...this is a difficult task (for me). I need structure and I'm hoping it will not only help me but, Avery as well. I'm going to try to get this kid potty trained if it kills me!! She still is NOT even interested...won't sit on her potty but, knows when she has to go to the bathroom and can tell you when she needs a diaper change...whatever..all good things come to those who try/are willing, right??

Cash the FiSh!

Cash is big enough to sit up in the big chair!!!

I seriously love this chair..Avery started using it at about 4 months as well. It's so much easier bathing these two together and having Cash be able to sit up!!

Avery LOVES it that Cash can bathe with her now.

How Sweet ;)

Avery screams now when we have to take Cash out of the tub:( She finally has a bath partner and I truly believe Avery could stay in the tub all day most days.
