February brought visits from our good friends Ashley and her husband Jeff. We had a great time and Avery loved playing with them both. We were so excited to have them down, the last time we saw Ash and Jeff was in August for Labor Day! Ashley bought Avery her cute little leopard outfit for her birthday.

Here is a cute pic of little Miss Avery amongst her cards!

Avery's First Birthday! 1.4.09


Avery turned one on January fourth. A week after her birthday she started to walk...then run. We had a great party for her at our house. It was a jungle theme. I got inspired to bake her cake, ala Ace of Cakes. It was my first time rolling fondant and creating the masterpiece. I think it came out well! She got lots of presents and was excited to play with all her toys! Her only set back was that she had an allergic reaction to her 1 year shots that she broke out in spots! I called her my little speckled trout all weekend. With all that said she had a great birthday party!

First Blog

Hi Everyone, this is my first initial post and I must say I am late to the blogging world! Steve, Avery and I have had an exciting adventure the last 16 mos! Avery was born on January 4th, 2008. She is the most wonderful baby. We were so excited when we found out we were pregnant! I could not wait to find out what we were having so at my 18 week appointment we found out we were having a girl! I immediately started buying clothes for her...if she's like me she will a clothes horse! I hope you enjoy our blog and some fun pictures. I promise to keep it updated!!!
