We are LOVIN' this small town! We went to the Farmington City Bike Parade--what a great little event! Avery and her friends decorated their bikes and enjoyed Pace Popsicle Bars after their ride :)
< /> We were invited to an AWESOME party on the 4th of July. Our friends Matt and Jennifer have family in Huntsville and we got and invite to join them for their festivities. Matt's sister has a great house on Pineview Lake in Hunstville. The party was too much fun! We got together in the afternoon for a yummy bbq,pinatas,swimming, and they even had a snowcone machine and popcorn machine--how fun is that?! Then we headed to the town park and were entertained all evening. There was music, parachuters, fireworks--and of course just a great time with great people! Avery had an especially good time with a new friend--another Avery, she was 16, and was so sweet to our Avery. They hung out all afternoon and evening. It was one of the best 4th of July celebrations I have ever been to!!
We went to the Centerville parade in the morning, on July 4th--the weather was mild, so that was nice! Avery had fun collecting candy with her cousins.
Of course, this is one of Avery's favorite places...so, we give in and go a few times a year. This trip was a reward for going to bed so well at night and making her bed in the mornings. She got to take her friend Katelyn.
It was a beautiful night to be out watching baseball! We took Sarah's boys to their 1st major league game. We all scored free t-shirts too!
This was our last night--can't believe how the week flew by. The next morning we packed up and headed for home--so excited to see our hubbys and babies! The drive home was an adventure...we were about ready to "Thelma and Louise" it...but we made it home safe and sound. Can't wait for our next trip!
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.
