Avalee turns TWO!!

Happy birthday to my beautiful baby girl. I cant believe she is already 2!

-weighs 24 pounds
- calls herself AA
- loves playing with dolls/babies and princesses.
- always wants me to "hu coo" or hold you. translation- she wants me to hold her :)
- So good at talking and singing and has the most adorable little voice. she repeats every word we say so we have to be careful!
- She is my little shadow. She has to be right by me and helping me with whatever I am doing. I actually love it. She is seriously my best friend :)
- Avy is a great eater and usually eats whatever I make.
- She is such a good big sister. Always giving Jett kisses and gets so worried when he cries.
- Still totally obsessed with her blanket and calls it her " bu bo".
- she gets really shy when we are around new people. And she freaks out if I ever leave (like in nursery at church) she does not deal well if I leave.
- Most the time she is such a good, nice and sweet little girl. But she is a little button pusher- when we say no, she just laughs and does it again.
-She has such a sweet spirit and is such a joy to be around. Avy has such as funny personality and is full of sass. I love her so much and am seriously the luckiest person to be her mom.

I could go on and on about all the things I adore about little Avy. So when I have time, I will continue to add to the list. But right now both my kids are asleep so Im heading to bed!!

We had a few little birthday parties for Avy. We celebrated with both the Thomasons and Websters after Jetts blessing. She thought it was the greatest day ever and even blew out her candles on the cake.

Bonnie and Warren got her a wizard of OZ book, some OZ toys and some red Dorthy shoes. Avy was so happy!!! She really could not even handle all the excitement..

On her actual birthday she woke up and had breakfast with her best buddy, Anni, and opened more presents! I love watching her open presents because she gets soooo excited!!

That afternoon we meet up with her cousins at Jump Time. It was really crowded but Avy loved it. She could go there every day and not get sick of it.

Thank heavens grandma Janet was there to hold Jett. I could not have done it without her

So in love with these two babies!!

After jump time we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, plum loco. Perfect ending to  perfectly fun day!

playing with more birthday presents. Our family is SO generous! Thankyou everyone who made Avys second birthday so special!!

I love you so much Avy bug. Im so excited to celebrate many many more birthdays with you!

our week in Rexburg

Because we were in Rexburg for Jetts blessing we decided to stay the week and spend time with family. Like always, we had a blast and miss everyone already!

Monday night we went to Tanners ball game and then out for ice cream. Such a fun night. Avy is in love with Tanner and said his name about 500 times while he was playing.

Out to lunch and some shopping with the girls. Wish we could do this every day!

And some good old fun at grandma Janets. Never a dull moment

 Thank goodness my parents had a ball to bounce Jett on. He requires it.
Anni Is the best baby sitter ever!!

Jetts Blessing day

Our sweet little Jett was given a blessing by his daddy on November 3rd 2013. Because all our family is in Rexburg, we decided to do it there at my parents house. It was such a beautiful evening. We are so lucky to have an incredible family who loves and supports us. His 6 uncles, 2 grandpas and 1 great grandpa were there to stand in the blessing circle. We are so grateful for the power of the priesthood. Chris gave him such a wonderful blessing.

6 weeks old

Jett looks exactly like Chris when he was a baby. I hope he grows up to look just like his dad! Both such handsome boys

packed house! He is one loved little guy.

Jetts two great grandmas. Such amazing women

Halloween

Halloween was fun but not that eventful. We went to Chris's office during the day and Jett got to dress up in his little lion costume (sticking with the wizard of OZ theme). We were going to go trick-or-treating but Jett decided he didn't want to go and was screaming most of the evening :) So we stayed in and handed out candy. Avy loved when the door bell rang but was not too happy that we were giving all her candy to other kids.

The next day we headed to Rexburg to do the annual Thomason Halloween doughnut making party!! It was a blast and I probably had a dozen doughnuts to myself. But they are unreal good!!! And it wouldn't be a party with out shooting some guns :) Chris was in heaven
