my big helper

Lately Avery wants to help with EVERYTHING around the house. She sets the table, helps with the laundry, helps make her bed and so on. She has always loved to help me cook and bake, so when I said I was making salsa, she ran upstairs and got her "gear"! She came back down all dressed and ready for action--chef's hat and all :) I thought it was too cute not to share.

We had Elsha, Gage, Maddie and Grandma Margaret over for dinner tonight. It is always good to see them. Avery just adores Gage and Madison and looks forward to visits with them.

new friends :)

Avery has made a cute new friend that lives right next door. They have been playing everyday together and having a great time.

Sissy Ice-Cream

Yep, that's what Avery has named her doggy. We adopted a black lab/mix from the Davis County Animal Shelter about 2 weeks ago. So far, she has been a pretty good dog--she is house-trained and rarely barks... Avery is just in love with her and wants to show her off to everyone.

Davis County Fair

What a fun, virtually free, event. We paid $1 to park and got to enjoy the free petting zoo, free pony rides and Avery even got to milk a cow! She thought that was pretty cool.

Our new home!!

Finally!! We did it!! It has been a LONG, GRUELING process, but we are IN!! We have allready met some great neighbors and Avery has made a friend right next door. We are enjoying our new home--hope you enjoy the pics :)

Swimming at the Pirate Pool

We joined the Bountiful Recreation Center--and it's been wonderful! Johnny has a gym to use, I have a fabulous lap pool to swim in, and Avery and I get to enjoy the outdoor "Pirate Pool". We have spent a few days there recently with friends...
