Cute Comments!!

Avery is going through the cutest stage right now!! Everything that comes out of his mouth is so stinkin cute and funny!!! I wanted to post some of the cutest ones before I forgot!! I need to get the camcorder out and record him before it's too late!!!
  1. Last Sunday at church Adam was waiting on the table and we had the usual "Hey Mom, look it's daddy", and "Hi, Daddy". Adam said he could here him talking to him all way up at the front. Well, when Adam sat back down, Avery jumped up in his lap and said, "It's so great to see you again Daddy, I missed you"!!! Like he hadn't seen him in days...so cute!!!
  2. My SIL Cindy has had Shingles, so he hasn't been able to get close to her or play with her a while. When he saw her on Wednesday, the first thing he said was "feel better, Cindy???" He's so considerate!!!
  3. Tonight he was playing with a baby doll. He was holding it and rocking it and singing to it. He was being so sweet. These were his words, "Rock a bye baby, you are so great, now throw it away", and he proceeded to throw the baby off the bed!!! We were rolling in the floor for quite a while about that one.

It's amazing how fast my kiddos are growing up!!! I can remember Lily going through this stage, and it doesn't really seem like it's been that long ago...sniff, sniff!!!

The picture at the top captures Avery's LOVE for all things trains. The hat was Adam's when he was a kid and he gave it to Avery the other day. Avery spent the rest of the day riding on his train while wearing his new train hat!!!!

Easter 2009

I hope everyone had a GREAT Easter!!! We sure did (even though the weather didn't really cooperate)!!
We went to church with my Mom and Dad on Sunday April 5, so we could celebrate Easter at their house afterwards!! These weren't the kids Easter clothes, but they still looked adorable!!! Notice, Avery has his coo-coo (his blanket). We don't leave home without it!!!
This is my brother Chris and his girlfriends (LeighAnn) kids Rylee and Aiden!! Rylee is a few months older than Lily and Aiden is a few months younger than Avery!! They all get along really well!!
Lily and Rylee running for the same egg!!!!
Avery found an egg in the chicken!!!
She's loving the pink egg!!!
Avery was stalled...he decided he needed to open every egg he found!!! So stinkin cute, that one!!!
She was starting to get upset with me, cause I kept making her stop running around so I could get some pictures!! But I don't regret it!! I got some good pics!!!
I love this picture...you can see the egg and his little hand reaching down to get it!!!
Daddy and Avery...I also LOVE this picture!!!
The kids baskets!!! We decided to hide eggs in our bedroom and bathroom this year. Just to kinda change things up. It's really amazing how many hiding places you can find in a bathroom!!!!
Lily got the new Barbie movie "Thumbalina". She's REALLY been wanting it, so it was an easy gift to get!!
Anything "Thomas" will bring a smile to Avery's face!!! It's there, trust me, it's just behind the paci!!!
Like I said, there are a ton of hiding places in the bathroom!!!
Desperately looking for more eggs!!!!
They are all dressed up in their Easter clothes - kinda. I was WAY to cold for them to go like I wanted, but it worked. Avery's outfit had some khaki overall shorts that went with it, but we just put some black cords on instead. Lily got some tights and a sweater added to hers!!! They just looked so stinkin cute. I straightened Lily's hair for the first time ever. It looked really pretty!!! She has this very slight wave to her hair, so to see it super straight was super cool!!!
Oops, I forgot to take the red eye out...oh well!!!
The kids (Lily, Kendra, and Avery) were being silly and putting their baskets on their heads!!! Avery got mad and sat down to pout...not sure why he got mad, but that's just the way he is!!!! The girls were having a GREAT time though!!!
Avery found an egg on the back of the couch and then decided it would be fun to jump around on it, since he wouldn't get into trouble!!!! It's almost like he's saying "Ha, Ha Nana!!".
Yes, again I made her stop running around looking for eggs, and pose for a picture!!!
