HALLOWEEN!!

So this year is Avery's second Halloween technically but for all that matters it really was her first. We got her a Monkey costume and dressed her up and I went and took her Trick-or-Treating! I don't care if its weird to take a one year old Trick-or-Treating i believe you have to go! Well we had fun alot of our neighbors really decked out their garages and did haunted houses and just fun decorations. We got a ton of candy! The police were even out aptrolling and giving out glow necklaces! Well, I thought i'd been gone only an hour, but it turns out I'd been gone two! Cord had been driving around looking for us, I felt so bad! And to top it all off we got invited to our friends house and now couldn't go because it was too late! Oh my I felt horrible! I hope I can make it up next year!
But Avery had fun, and Cord and I got to hang out with eachother so it was ok. Hope everyone else had a spectacular Halloween!

October and Avery's Birthday

Well hello again everyone! Sorry it's been so long, we have been busy. Well alot has happened! Cord and I have traveled a bit. For conference weekend we went to Eagar, it was nice to see Tammy and the girls and Mike and Ryan and Trist. We have fun hanging out and listening to conference. We had a BBQ and played games. it got a little crazy....but it was a blast! Thanks Tammy for hanging with us!

Avery turned one this month! We went to Vegas to see my family, and all the new babies! (My sister Kennedy had a girl Rory, and my sister in law Megan had a little boy Aidric) They are soo cute! So while down there we had a little party for Avery. Family and friends came and we had cake, pizza and a good time. Avery got a few presents, thank you everyone for the gifts! They are great and Avery of course LOVES them! She got some clothes and toys and a really cool Alphabet caterpillar stuffed animal. =) She is almost walking now, soon we won't know what to do with her running around everywhere!

Also, this past week Steve came up and he and Mike helped Cord to extend our loft! It's not completely done yet, but it looks amazing and Cord and I can't wait to finish it! Thank you Steve and Mike for all your help!

Also, Cord and I just got a new calling in our ward. We are now Nursery workers! I know, Avery is gonna get to go into nursery a little early I guess. I hope its fun!

Halloween is coming up. I'll post some pics of Avery in her costume soon. She is soo cute! I put up some decorations, my halloween signs and of course spiderweb, which I thought looked cool until the wind blew it down. Lame.

Well that is all that is new with us! Hope y'all are doing great! Have a happy HALLOWEEN!!!

Man we have ALOT to cover....

So we had our family reunion this year. It was a blast! Cord got to golf, and I got to see my family and go visit the old ranch. We had huge dinners, and breakfast! Mmm... It was just fun to go and see everyone. Im jealous my cousin Taryn got to go repelling with my Uncle cory though. Avery loved being outside at the ranch. She was just laughing while crawling around in the grass attacking my little cousin Jansen. =) We found this little icecream/sandwhich shop there and it was sooo good!! I swear I ate there everyday. Below is a slideshow of the pictures I took!

Last Friday we celebrated Cords birthday! I dont have too many pictures from it because my camera was almost dead. It was fun though. I took Cord shooting at the range and we got to shoot pistols! It was fun, and then we picked Avery up at Johnny and Melina's (thank you for babysitting!!!) then all went over to the park to play frisbee. It was so nice to play again! i miss it. Then we headed over to Jennifers to BBQ and swim. Thank you Adam for grilling up the burgers! Everyone just hung out and watched Olympics or swam. it was fun. Sorry Jen for raiding your home til all hours but thank you so much for letting us use your house!
Thank you to everyone who pitched in on the food and present, and who just came! You all made it a great birthday for Cord!
Btw Cord's present was Tom Petty tickets!!

Well the concert was Wednesday August 20th. Cord and I got ready and drove the hour and a half to Glendale. Our seats were way up top so we couldn't really see much. So we went and got ourselves some T-shirts (long line!) then went back up and ast by Mike and Ash after Steve Winwood was done playing. Adam came over to see our seats, he was in a box with some billionaires and Nicole (lol) and we all decided we should sneak down to the front. So we went down and walked right past the little ticket guy and wandered around trying to find seats, when Tom Petty came out! So we ran to the front and were right there about 3 rows back for the opening song!!! It was amazing!!!!! After about 2 songs though the ticket guy came up and asked us for our tickets then told us to get out once he realized we didnt have them lol. So we followed Mike thinking he was gonna go to the back to find seats but he just ran right on out. So we went back to our normal seats in the bird nest to enjoy the rest of the concert. It was stil fun because we had some crazy folks dancing in front us. Poor guy had No moves left! Oh well.
Thank you Jessica for babysitting so late!!! It was so much fun!

August

Well August is here now and July is past. Not much has gona on this week, Cord has been studying for his CNA which he takes tomorrow, and Ive been cleaning and working. Avery is doing just fine, just growing and moving. She took her first tumble down the stairs yesterday. That was no fun. It was only a few stairs, though, and she is ok.

Well I have a few pics of when roniboob was down, but only of Ave not of Roni. lol

Isnt she cute? lol I know they are not the best pics, I had to take them with my phone.

Above is a video of Ave crawling around at the park. We take her there alot, but this is the first time she has crawled in the grass there. She doesn't really know what to think of the grass lol. it looks like she doesn't like to touch it but is still happy to be outside.

These are some more pics of Ave at the park taken with my phone, of course. She loves being outside with Addi! Well thats about all we have been up to. How is everyone else? Anything fun going on?

Update

Ok so sorry its been forever! I have no pictures becasue I lost my camera charger and so i cant use my dead camera. Sad! Well Cord and i went to Vegas a few weeks ago to attend the sealing of my brother and his wife. I almost didn't get to go because of course I forgot my recommend. How do you ask? I have no idea. But luckily I got ahold of the bishop and he called the temple to vouch for me. The weekend was fun though, cord and i hit up a casino, we had a BBQ, and hung out with the fam.
Avery is getting so big! She is 9 months now and is standing and walking along everything. She gets into everything now too! She makes a new sound too, can you guess what it is? Dadadadada! She doesnt know she is saying da-da but it sounds like it. =)
Cord and i FINALLY finished the cabinets, and our backyad has some semblence of a lawn. More weeds than lawn though. lol Cord takes his CNA test this week, I hope he passes so he can become a CNA. That would be nice.
Roniboob was down here this week. He came for a few days and we had a BBQ at Johnny's after swimming at a public pool. The guys did dives and crazy flips off the high dive, while Melina and I hung out with Raylin and Avery. It was fun! Then on Wednesday, Cord, Roni, Willis and I went to see The Dark Night! It was great! I liked it alot. After that my mom came in to meet me and we went shopping. We got Ave some toys and stuff it was nice! Ave likes her big girl toys too. =)
My mom stayed til Friday and then had to go back for megans shower. i wish I could have gone but sadly I had to work. Thanks for coming MOM!!!
Today was fun. I woke up and made cookies and cleaned then we went to church. Ave gets real loud in church so I spent most of it walking around, lol. But I have finally made some friends so it was cool.
Well thats my update. How is everyone else summer going?
