Avalees birthday

My little princess is three?!?!?! I can't believe it. She has brought so much joy and happiness in our lives. She is crazy and sweet and sensitive but sassy. I honestly love every little thing about her. Yes, she has her three year old moments... Makes Messes, throws fits, never wants to wear clothes, and is still asking for her little brothers bottle. She is totally hilarious and always saying and doing funny things.  She is my best friend. There really are no words for how much I love her. She is so talented and smart. I know she will do amazing things in her life. I wish I could bottle up her little  3 year old body and sweet baby voice and her long curly hair and keep her this way forever. I love you so much little Avy bug. 

She got this new dress and a repunzle doll for her bday. So she wanted her hair straight and long like repunzle. It's harder to get it this straight than you would think...

We were still in rexburg on her bday. She loves her Grandma and grandpa so much. They basically made our stay in rexburg a week long bday party. 

We had a party with the Thomasons that night. It was just going to be a simple night of cake and ice cream but everyone brought presents, we played with toys and it was a big party all night! It is always so nice to be out there eating and laughing with my family. I know it would have made Bonnie happy. 

I thought I was being a good mom by bringing cupcakes and balloons.... Well then Denise shows up with a home made beautiful Barbie cake! She is the most amazing and thoughtful person. Avy was dying of happiness. We are lucky to have Denise! Thank goodness someone was on top of making her cake special! Ha

Avy is one lucky girl to have so much family that loves and cares for her. And we are lucky to have Avy! 

Happy birthday beautiful girl! 

(Early) Birthday party

November 1st-
Avy and Kates birthday are one day apart so we wanted to have a birthday party for them together. And we all happen to be in rexburg this weekend so we had their party one week early.
The party was at the gymnastics place and it was a blast. So much fun for the kids and adults!

 

We spent the week in Rexburg and had lots of fun with cousins and playing with grandma and grandpa. Both my kids had a bad cold :( But other than that, it was such a fun week spending time with my family.

Halloween week!

Halloween use to be one day... well now it is basically all month. The week before halloween was filled with parties and WAY too much candy!

Avys dance class had a Halloween party. She decided on a ballerina kitty. And even though Jett stayed home with dad, he dressed up as was Frankenstein

The city had a trunk or treat one night. We went to it with some neighbors. It was really fun but sooo packed. It was crazy busy
This time we went with the wizard of OZ theme...

On halloween day Chris had to work and then we drove to Rexburg. So most of the day was packing and driving. But we got to Rexburg just in time to trick of treat at grandma and grandpa Websters house.
And the winning costume for actual halloween day...... witch with a green face!

Oct 12-oct 19

Fall time is absolutely gorgeous in Boise. And the 75 degree weather is amazing. We have loved playing outside and going on long walks everyday. Avy even says "thanks for the beautiful trees" in her prayers :) 

I cant do the dishes without one or both of my kids trying to help!

Thursday night Avy and I went to Disney on ICE!! It was so fun. Avy loved every second. We definitely need to plan a Disney land trip!

Oct 20-26

This fall has really been so nice. We still go to the park all the time

Jett can now pull down the baby gate and I often find these two at the top of hiding and waiting for me to chase them

more fall clean up. Seriously, the best helpers/mess makers

We got to watch Madi one night. These two are the best little friends

Avy had a little halloween dance performance out at linder farms. It was really cute and Avy did so good! I cant believe I didnt even get a picture of her in her witch costume. But here is the video...

Sep 27- oct 11

Our laptop (from year 2000) finally quit on us :( sad sad. Im actually surprised it lasted this long! So I'm updating my sweet little journal/blog from my phone.

We went to our little friends bday party and got to ride on a REAL school bus! Avy loved it so much and still talks about it. 

Jett boy is just getting bigger and sweeter everyday. He had his 1 year check up and shots :( the entire appointment was horrible. He cried every time anyone even looked at him. He almost cried just as hard when the dr checked his heart beat as when he got shots. 

Sore legs from shots :( good thing we had the wiggles on TV to cheer him up! 

Two worn out babies

October is probably- definitely Avys favorite month. All the dress up fun is almost too much to handle.

This is not even half of the costumes she has tried on. We usually go through 2 or 3 every day. Thanks to the Gardner family  and all their old costumes, we now have costume parties every day!
