And the winner is......

Congrats comment #6. Di, you deserve it.

Avery's new kennel

We found an awesome way to contain Avery while we are outside working. I have tried her playpen, but she hates it so we were having a hard time containing her. Not anymore. This was an awesome $5 garage sale find.

This video clip is for Avery's NaNa. Warning, it may make you dizzy. And no that's not her diaper, she has a cute little Petit Bateau diaper cover on that has lace on the bum. Precious.

Monkey Butt

Avery and I got another suprise visit from the UPS man yesterday. Avery's NaNa has sent her yet another box from Gymboree (that makes 4 this summer). She is such a lucky little girl.

Give Away

I finally finished the tutu I started months ago. Its a little long for a baby Avery's age, but should be just right for a older baby. Next time I am going to do the ribbon longer so I can tie it in a bow. I decided in the end to glue the flower on it instead of having a bow. I have decided for fun to give it away to somebody who comments on this post. All you have to do is leave a comment and I will randomly pick a winner next Monday. Be sure to tell your friends to leave a post as well. Good luck.

Our new stairs

Duane has been working so hard on our backyard so that we can get our house sold. Here are the stairs he built in between our rock wall. We still need a load of rock to fill in. He is such a hard worker.

Avery loves her daddy. When he is outside working, she stands at the window and talks to him. My windows are filthy thanks to Avery touching them and the dog drooling on them.

Fun with Papa

We stayed at Papa Jeffs for the reunion because we didn't want to pack all of our camping gear. It was a good thing because everyone froze the night before. Heres Avery playing Bob the builder. Safety first.

Family reunion

Duane, the girls and I loaded up this weekend to go to my family reunion. This year there was face painting for the kids. The girls decided they wanted to paint Duanes face Emo style. Here are the results.

Toni helped out with Avery all day. I didn't have to do a thing. Every time I would come around, Toni would shoo me away because Avery would be just fine as long as I wasn't around

The girls having a great time.

NaNa's request

Heres the trick you requested NaNa. Hope you enjoy.

Krinn loving on Avery. I call Krinn the baby whisperer.

Gavin with his bingo prizes. Give this kid a gun and he can entertain himself all day.
Avery loving the 100% pure air Jarbidge has to offer.

Good ol' Uncle Chuck.

Happy 5th of July too.

People in Jarbidge are so bored they even celebrate the 5th of July. Me, Duane and the girls were in the parade driving one of Krinns old Ramblers. Krinn said they have parades every other day celebrating occasions such as John Waynes birthday.

Duane was was so excited driving the Rambler.

Krinn looks lovely even in her silky jammies.

Happy 4th of July

We decided at the last minute to head out of town to my aunts B&B in Jarbidge Nevada. It was a nice relaxing time for all. Avery's first 4th was low key, but she really enjoyed it. Morgan and Chelsea were excited to stay in a haunted B&B, but sadly didn't experience any sightings. Aunt Krinn was busy with town activities (she is a bit of a celebrity there, however the population is only 28 so it wouldn't be hard to be popular), but it was nice to see her.

Avery loved the fireworks
Gavin organized the fireworks while Krinn did the lighting.
