Avery and her latest fashion statement




Avery is such a little ham! I pull the camera out and she says, "cheese!" She's lovin' her sunglasses lately...we just don't think she even realizes that they are actually for your eyes. She pulls them straight up on top of her head...like me :). How cute is that? She is enjoying the nice sunny weather also. She likes to take her "babies" on walks, and when she gets tired, she just sits in the "baby" stroller!

Springtime in Diablo Grande


It is beautiful here! What is better than springtime in California?? Thought I'd share a few pics of the hills around here. The picture just below is a view of part of the golf course from our backyard. The U.S. Pro Golf Tour was held here this weekend.

Last of winter...





We went and stayed in a cabin in the mountains for a night...a getaway with Johnny's work. We roomed in a 2 bedroom cabin with some friends that have 2 kids. Avery had so much fun with Emily and Gavin. Johnny took Avery "skiing"...she didn't know what to think of that.

nothin' much



Avery has been enjoying her new friends...I found her after she had woken up from napping with her "babies" sitting up on the bumper pads of her crib with her. I thought it was so cute. But seriously, the other picture is of her with Kaylee, she just loves Kaylee and asks for "K" all the time. After playing all afternoon one day, Avery fell asleep on Kaylee...how sweet!

Happy Birthday to me!





My sweet husband took me to Disneyland for my birthday! What could be better than that? At Disneyland, they gave me a "Birthday" button w/ my name on it, so people were telling me Happy Birthday all day long. I felt pretty special...especially when Goofy sang Happy Birthday to me. Avery, who loves to watch The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse everyday, was a little scared of the real Mickey...or as she calls him,-Baca. I don't know how she came up with that, but she calls him that all the time. (She hands me the remote control and says,"Baca", that means she wants to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. ) Anyway, she would always say Bye to the characters -in her sweet lttle voice as she was waving, as they were walking away. She really enjoyed the train ride all the way around the park. She was "signing" and saying train all day long. Train, is her favorite word to "sign". Her sign language skills are getting pretty good we think. Besides train, she signs: ice-cream,apple,candy,more,cold,hot,milk,dog,and a few others. Speaking of dog-we stayed at Carrie and Bills house in So. Cal. for the weekend and Avery had a blast with their 2 dogs. We aren't sure whether she liked Disneyland or the dogs better! She was sad to say bye-bye to them.

I'm ready!



Avery is really enjoying going to nursery at church. I drop her off and she doesn't even look back! She likes to color-she came home with washable marker colors all over her shirt last week. The teacher said she sits like a big girl and sings songs and eats her snack. We are glad she has this time to socialize with other kids her age.

Too much to do...


(this message is from Avery)...

Seriously everyone, I don't know how you do it! I mean, if only there were more hours in the day. I've got so much to do-watching movies, reading books, drinking juice, playing with the doggy next door, shopping, eating "shishies"...the list goes on. And to top it off, Mommy wants me to brush my teeth and use the potty! Well, I'll show her, I'll get this yucky stuff out of the way real quick... and get back to more important stuff!
