Backyardigans B-day Party!

For those of you who don't know, Avery's 2 favorite things are cars and backyardigans. So I took him to the party supply store and I let him pick out what kind of party he wanted. First he was checking out the cars stuff and liked what he saw so we put all the stuff in the cart. But then we went to the backyardigans section and he flipped out! (the backyardigans stuff was cuter if i do say so myself) So we put all the cars stuff back and got the backyardigans party stuff instead. Kendal and i had so much fun baking the cake! Here are a few pictures of our little Pablo masterpiece.. Yes I know Kendal is BY FAR the artist in our family but i helped too :)

The party was a success and Avery had so much fun! Some of his cousins came to play and his little girlfriend Paige and they all had so much fun playing with each other. Watching him at the party I just couldn't help but get kind of excited for the future B-day parties to come. What will he be like when he's older i wonder? Will he want girls at his party? Will I even be aloud to be in the same room with all of his friends at his older parties? Or will I be shunned to my room only aloud to come out when its time to clean up?! Lets hope I have many, many more years until he is embarrassed of his mommy! Well at least for now i can still do everything for him and planning his little party was a blast and I hope everyone that came had fun too!!

After the pizza and presents we all went across the street for some cake and ice cream and to hit the Pablo pinata! Come to find out those stupid pinatas are hard to break open. After letting all the kids have a few turns each, we had to hand the stick over to Justin so he could finish the job! Lets just say Justin took care of Pablo..



After poor little Pablo was slaughtered :( We sang happy birthday to Avery boy and had some cake and ice cream. It was a fun day and a great birthday for Avery!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVERY!!!

I cant believe my little man is two! It seems like just yesterday we were taking him home from the hospital. I feel like just last week he was learning to sit up on his own and giving us those first big smiles!


And now he is 2 and oh so big! I love every minute of my life being his mommy. I am so blessed to have him in my life each and every day. He has only been on this earth 2 short precious years and he has already changed my life so much! Kendal and I cant wait for each new day to spend with him, to watch him learn and grow.


Happy Birthday Avery we are already so proud of you!! We love you so much and are so grateful for you! I love that he's growing up but at the same time I hate it so much. I want him to be my little baby forever!

Family Pictures..

Because Avery was turning 2, it was the perfect time to get some professional pictures taken of him since it had been a while and we hadn't taken family pics for a long time either. I thought because we were taking the pictures outside that Avery would be such a good boy. Wrong! He just wanted to play the whole time and wanted NOTHING to do with getting his picture taken. Our photographer Amy was so patient and she did a great job! Here are a few that I took from her blog. I cant wait to get the rest in a week or so :) Even though it was hard to get Avery to sit still she got some really cute pics! That's what being a good photographer is all about right?! Avery looks so big in these pictures and I cant believe he is turning 2 in two short days! I cant boob about him turning 2 just yet.. You'll have to read his birthday blog on Thursday for that. (and to see more pictures of just Avery boy) Thanks again Amy!

Yay Avery pooped!!!

But not in the potty...

We kind of had a late night last night at my brothers and Avery didn't get his normal bath time routine because he fell asleep in the car. So today before church Kendal took him into the shower with him and gave him a quick rinse down. Avery ran out when he was done and came to the side of our bed where he knew he had stashed one of his little cars. In that one minute of not having his diaper on, Avery took FULL advantage and left us a little present on the carpet! It was the funniest thing to see the look on his face! He bent over and studied his little poopy like it was this crazy creature that magically slipped out of his body.

All in all was a cute/funny experience and it was a great opportunity to go over the "poopy only in the potty" thing. Im not pushing him into potting training because I don't think he fully understands everything yet so we are just taking it nice and slow. I did take a picture of his funny little present but I don't dare post a poopy pic on my blog. Is that gross? Is it funny? Is it weird that mommy took a pic of the poop?? I just don't know :) I have some fun pictures of Avery and our new flowers so I will post them as soon as I find my camera charger..
