Camp fire at McArthurs
Diana and Brayden are redoing their back yard this summer and they started with building an amazing fire pit. It is so awesome. We made tinfoil dinners and smores. Perfect little evening with our best buds.

Avalee 18 months
Height- 2 feet 7 inches (22%)
Weight- 21 pounds (27%)
This girl is seriously the funniest, cutest, sweetest little person in the world. I wish I could bottle her up and keep her at 18 months forever. Here are some things she is up to... (warning- this is a list for me and my records. Feel free to skip this part if you are not interested in knowing every detail of her little life :) )
- talking talking! Some of her favorite words are: HI!!! mama/dada, more, no, bird, car, ball, plane, wawa (water), yaya/yes, baby, up, down, nunus (noodles), yummm, milk, bubbles, balloons, eggs, ears, eyes, nose, shoes, uh oh!, ow wee, . Those are just some words she says a lot. But every time we say something she tries to repeat it. She is always trying to say every word we are saying. When we read the alphabet book she can do the sound of every letter. And has every animal sound down perfect. She is always talking in her own little gibberish. Her language is not always clear but she is very good at communicating. We understand each other good.
- She is the best dancer I know. ALWAYS wanting to put in a dance movie or have the dance music on. She is really good at following along with the wiggles or Lorrie band movie.
-Takes one nap a day for about a hour or two. Sleeps through the night like a star.
- She is still totally obsessed with her blanket and cries the entire time its in the washer. She literally snuggles and loves on that thing all day long.
- Has 4 top teeth and 3 bottom teeth. She loves to brush her teeth- by herself!- not so much if we do it.
- She is still so tiny. Wearing mostly18 month clothes with a few 12 months and some baggy 24 month stuff.
- Her hair is to die for. So So curly and cute. I have to condition it every day before I do her hair or it is a total afro.
- She loves Cinderella. That is the only show she will sit and watch for more then 10 minutes and it is the only show she has watched from start to finish (including TV shows).
- She loves baby dolls and all her stuffed animals. She is always putting them to bed and telling me to SHHH! Or feeling them a bottle or giving them hugs or wanting me to put a diaper on them.
-She is such a good little eater. Everything we give her, she eats. But she knows where the chocolate and popcicles are and always wants some.
- She is my little shadow and wants to be "helping" me with everything. Loves doing dishes, cooking/mixing, pulling weeds (and the flowers), folding laundry, putting my makeup on and doing my hair. Everything we do together usually takes me twice as long as normal but she loves to help/ make a huge mess :)
- Loves books so much and is always bringing me a book to read to her.
- She is so good with my iphone and loves looking and pictures and videos of herself. She also knows how to call people so if you get a call from me with no response, it was Avalee saying hi :)
-Loves her cousin Madi and get so excited when she sees her.
- Loves going to the library and our play group.
- Loves being outside and playing at the park. She could swing for hours and is so brave going down big slides.She loves making "mud soup" and finding rocks to bring me.
- Is a great little climber. If I turn my back for 2 seconds she is usually up on a table or chair. Scares me so bad.
-She is doing really good in church nursery and has a few little friends she likes.
- She has a pretty impressive fake cry and is getting really good at throwing fits. Its really fun.
- Is so good at giving hugs and kisses.
- Loves going to stores and always wants down so she can run away and pull everything off the shelves. And she is fast!
We really can not get enough of this baby. Love her more and more every day!!
At library story time

April
I cant believe there are only a few more days in April??! It has gone by so fast!
Here is what we have been up to....
It feels so nice to finally have spring here. Avy loves being outside. We play in the yard and go on walks pretty much every day. She is one little girl that is not afraid of getting dirty!
More play time with my camera. I love this thing.
And...I actually planted some flowers in our yard that didn't die!! wahoo
Forget me not flowers. cute :)
Just making a little mud soup. yumm. With some crazy after a nap hair.
We love when Madi comes to play!!
The Thomasons came to visit one weekend. The boys all went on a motor bike ride while the girls went shopping :) We always love having them here and we were all sad when the left! Come again!!
Thanks for the thumbs up Chris :)
Something interesting on the computer??
In other news... Baby #2 is growing growing! My doctor said everything was going great. She is guessing its a boy because the heart rate was a little slow (normal, but slower) So we will see in a little over a week!! I cant wait!
Those were most of the highlights this month. Other things this month I havent been taking pictures of....
Avy and I love our new play group friends. We meet up every Thursday and its always fun and crazy with so many little kids. We have also been going to the library for reading time and she loves it. She has popped out another bottom tooth which now brings her to a whopping 7 teeth ( that's not much for her age. but we will take it!) Avalee has most of the Lorri Burgner band video memorized. She wants to dance on her "stage" every morning. (thanks gardner family! Colton we cant wait for you to come dance with her!) Chris has been working mostly 6 day work weeks. He is the hardest worker I know. I really am the luckiest person in the world to have him. We are all doing good and have a few big house projects coming up in the next few weeks so we are keeping busy :)
oh, and lots of baths. I can only handle her being in the mud for so long... :)
