Happy 3rd Birthday to our Little Monkey Avery!

Today was a very BIG and exciting day for Avery!

She woke up to 3 birthday balloons in her room! She then came down stairs and threw out her paci! She did it! She opened presents, had a fun breakfast, a play-date with a friend, lunch out, played in the gym area, had a birthday cupcake, got a new bike and watched fireworks! A memorable birthday to say the least!

The Birthday flag is out! Happy Birthday to this beautiful girl!
 Festivities really started last night when she opened her presents from Grammy, Grandpa and Aunt Kristy. Thanks all!


 This morning she opened the book, "Guess How Much I Love You," the game Alphabet Bingo and an Alphabet puzzle which she mastered right away!



 Of course we had to take her picture with George!


 Playing in the climbing area at BK!

My girls are looking out that red area!

 Cheese!


 Singing Happy Birthday!




 Her new Hello Kitty bike! (She's got room to grow in to this bike!)


The party picks up again on Saturday with her friends from school at the bowling alley. Two hours of Glow Bowling, pizza and cupcakes! Sunday we will be having a small family gathering with a wild animal theme! Fitting, right? She's excited to see everyone, have fun and eat more cake!

Avery keeps us on our toes but we are often caught saying "she's so adorable"! She has the biggest smile, lovable to all and extremely smart! The last line of the book she got (which we read at bedtime tonight) reads "I love you to the moon and back!" That's our thought exactly! She is one precious little girl who brings us lots of joy! We love you Avery Slay!


Side pic - Alexis planted these sunflowers from seeds. We weren't sure what was growing but they are tall and fun to watch! She may be the one with a green thumb.

Happy 4th of July!

We spent the weekend up at the Cabin with Grandmom, Grandad and Uncle Ken. Despite all the rain on Saturday, the girls had a blast!

Avery showing off for the camera. (before we left)
 This bow was on a gift to Ariana from The Sliva's. The bow was bigger than her!
 A visit from Froggy!
 Ariana's not afraid of Froggy.
 Saturday evening we took the girls to the Hawley carnival. They had a blast!






 When we got home from the carnival, we did fireworks off the dock! They were awesome! Seeing fireworks was a request from Avery. Something she wanted for her birthday! We had a great showing and saved some to do at home for her on Tuesday!

 Happy, Happy, Happy 4th!

 Whitney Lake 4th of July picnic. The girls enjoyed the water games.




 Ariana enjoyed a quick nap!

 Our girls forgot what to do for the cupcake eating contest. This year they wanted to enjoy them instead of scarfing them down.



It was fun to get away, but it's nice to be home! We hope everyone had an enjoyable 4th!
