Avery and Daddy, along with friends Mark, and his daughter Katelyn got to go skiing last week! It was Avery and Katelyn's first time, and they got to take a lesson, and then show off their new skills! They all had a BLAST!!
Avery was in her first play, and had such a fun time! They practiced several hours each week for about 2 months. It was so great to see her perform! She did a fabulous job as a daughter. The pictures were taken after the play, one of them with her sweet friend Max, who was the lead in the play.
The 1st grade classes put on a beautiful patriot program a couple weeks ago. They really did an amazing job. A few days before the program, Avery was telling me about it, and said, "Mom, when we sing America the Beautiful, it makes me cry, cause I think about all the soldiers, and especially Great Grandpa." Is that the sweetest thing you've ever heard?? I love that little girl :)
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.
