October 9, 2009...wedding day! We had a wonderful time celebrating with Cait and Jared. They make such a beautiful couple--we are so happy they found each other and are overjoyed to welcome Jared into our CRAZY family!!
All the girls went to get pedicures the day before Cait's wedding day--so much fun--we've never done that all together before. We had such a good time spending the day together.
Johnny's parent's were able to come for a visit for a few days and see our new home. We took them to Eden(our favorite little town), Antelope Island(to see some buffalo) and went for a visit to my Grandpa's house in Morgan to pick apples from his tree. It was a nice visit--and Avery especially enjoyed her time with Grandma--as she sat by Avery for hours while Avery colored page after page...gotta love Grandma's--they seem to have more patience than Mom's!
We had been telling Avery (and Gage and Madison) that we would take them camping...so, before the weather got TOO bad, we finally took a weekend trip to the Uintas. Well, let's just say...the weather did get TOO bad...it rained and rained... Gage still got to fish with Johnny and the girls had a blast playing in the tent. It was a really cold, wet weekend, but we survived--with some yummy food and huddling close together in the tent! :)
Johnny and I were able to take a weekend by ourselves and go to Park City. We had a blast!! The weather was gorgeous and we just fully enjoyed every minute. We walked Main st., had a great meal there and then shopped at the Outlets. Sunday morning we went to a little street fair/Farmer's Market on Main St. and then layed by the pool for a while--it was wonderful!!
Jared's family gave Caitlin a bridal shower a couple weeks ago. I can't believe my baby sister is married (I've kinda slacked on blogging...she is MARRIED now!!) The shower was lots of fun and it was great to meet more of Jared's family.
Avery said to me the other day, "Mom, I have a handsome guy-(talking about Treyden) and you have a handsome guy. Only difference is I have other boyfriends and you don't"
One of my famous lines to Avery is, "Honey, you're just gonna have to deal with it"...whatever the situation may be...anyway, yesterday, a piece of one of her toys broke, she told me about it and then said, "I guess I will just have to deal with huh?!" My other line is, this sounds bad but, "your father is killin' me!"...so when i was a little ticked at Johnny the other day, I said, "Avery, your father..." that's all I said, but she finished it with, "is killin' you Mom?!"
We were flying home from Utah, she says, "Mom?-God and Mary Poppins live in the clouds huh?"
Johnny frequently uses the phrase, "I'm gonna hafta drop the hammer!" with Avery (meaning she is doing something she shouldn't be and she's gonna get in trouble)...it's kind of a sarcastic thing between the two of them. So a couple days ago, while playing, Avery takes the clothes off of one of her baby dolls and tosses them on the floor and says to me, "I'm not gonna show this to Dad." I asked her why and she responded with, "he might drop the hammer!!"
Johnny said something to Avery last night and she responded with, "Ya, what's your point?"...
She asked me last night, "God made me a special little girl, with his magic wand, right mama?!"
While watching Disney Channel today, " Mom, that's the Jonas Brothers, they are cute!"...I'm thinkin'-you gotta be kiddin me, you are 3!!!
While holding up a $1 bill and pointing to the picture of George Washington, "Mom, is this God?"
Shopping with Mom and Dad--she was walking in front of us and turns around and says, "Come on slow plokes"
I asked her to please help me clean up her room, her response, " I'm too busy"
She's been telling people lately, "My doctor said soda is good for my body"...because I've been trying to get her to drink more milk, telling her that her Doctor said it's good for her.
