Cute Shoes

Avery has shoes that were passed down to her from her cousin Hannah. I love these black patton shoes...they're perfect with dresses for church!

The Fab 4 Together Again!

My best friends from PT school! We (& our husbands and kids) got together for a long awaited weekend of fun! The girls went to Mi Luna, shopping, and of course to Dessert Gallery! Yum! We had a ball!

Avery loves her recliner! She has on her new dress from Cade, Owen, and Quinn and her new phone from Aunt Robin.


A quick pic with Grammy & Grampa during their visit for Avery's 1st birthday.

Time for presents! Avery helped open her gifts.

We all had a lot of fun!

Nana & Papa got her a recliner. We sat her in it, reclined it, and gave her a drink, and she knew just how to relax in her new chair!

Another Party!

Her cake looked just like the plates and decorations we had.


This little cake was just for Avery.

For some reason, she definitely did not want to wear the hat at this party...oh well!

Yum...cake!

Avery is 1!

Our last monthly picture by the plate, and the cutest one I have to say! She crossed her feet like that when we sat her on the counter...ADORABLE!

Avery turns 1!

On Avery's actual birthday, August 19th, we (Nana, Aunt Shelly, and cousin Hannah) took her to the Cheesecake Factory. We had a ball! The waiters sang "Happy Birthday" to her. She just sat and smiled and listened with her hands clasped...it was so cute!


She thought her dessert was really neat...

and she really wanted it!

But only to spread it on Mommy's hand, not to eat it. We tried a few times to give her bites of the vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, but she didn't want it. Weird, except she had never had anything sweet and cold except for a cupcake.

She was very happy with herself!
