I wanna get physical.......physical...........

These pictures are so funny! My aunt Trish gave Avery these cute little leg warmers for babies. Avery's little knees and toes have been getting red from crawling on our kitchen floor. So one day, I put these on her to give her legs a little break. It was so funny. She looked like she should be in a work out video from the 80's. I love those little leggings! They are so cute! The other day, I couldn't find her so I went into her room and found her climbing into her bouncy. I used to have to force her into it and now she just climbs in it, sits there, and plays! She is so cute and funny!

Under the sea.........under the sea..........

First, I am so proud to say Avery has a couple new tricks! I've been slacking on posting them, but here it goes. She stands up now! Well, she pulls her self up to stuff. She's been doing it for about two weeks now. It's so fun to watch her progress. Also, she officially crawls now. She used to army low crawl and normal crawl whenever she felt like it. Now she just crawls. I'm so glad. She gets a lot less dirty now. This past weekend, Erik, Avery and I had a little fun day out. We went to P.F. Changs, pottery barn, some other shops, and dang it, I didn't buy a thing! Afterward, we went to the Silverton Casino and the Bass Pro shop! That place is amazing. For all your husbands out there that love to hunt, this is their playground. It was so fun to show Aves all the animals. Also, they had a huge fish tank with a mermaid inside. Avery was digging that! She kept slaping the tank trying to get the fish. It was a fun day with my family!!

Colorful Colorado!!!

Last Thursday, Avery, my mom, and I flew to my brothers house in Colorado. It was so nice to get out of the heat! I love his new house. He has the best yard ever. His house sits on an acre and a half of land and is full of grass and trees! I say that like it's so amazing cause in Vegas, you have no grass, no trees and you definitely get no land. I'm pretty jealous. It was so fun to see my brother, my sister in law, my niece and nephew, my granny, Andrew who flew out as well, my aunt and uncle and a few of my cousins. We had a BBQ, sat on my brothers balcony and listened to my uncle play his guitar and sing for all of us. I chimed in when I knew the words. He has a great voice. He sounds a like Johnny Cash! Avery loved playing with the kids. We had a great time! Thanks guys.
Avery, loved this puppy! She would reach in and rub his nose!Our little stinker! I love this face!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy tO uS...............

Erik and I practically share a birthday. In fact, all the girls in my family share a birthday and when Erik and I got married, he shares it with us now. My mom's b-day is August 1st, Erik's is August 2nd, my sis is August 4th, mine is August 5th, and my older sis is August 25th. So we usually just have a big gathering. This year, Erik and I decided to head to Park City. We dropped Avery off with the grandparents and we went on a little vacation with some friends, the Conders. It was way fun. We rented a condo, ate lots of food, sat in the sun, went on the luge thing up the mountain, went to a movie, and just plain enjoyed not toting the babe around. Here are some pics that captured some of our fun. We didn't get very many pictures. We were just too busy! Also, here are some cute pictures of Avery Cakes too. She will be nine months on the tenth. She pulls herself up to stuff, and gets into every thing. She took a nap one day and only slept for like twenty minutes. When she woke up, I let her fuss a little thinking she would go back to sleep. She didn't and when I went to get her, this is what I found. I had never seen her pull her self up until that point. We got her a new tub! She loves it. I don't like just putting her in a big tub because I have to use more soap and I'm afraid she's going to slip and fall. We can't relax and let her play but with this tub she loves it!! And, here is a picture of our house. Well the start of it any way, its on it's way and should be done at the end of September!
