Avri's Birthday

After the Ortons left, we stayed at Bruneau for another day. And it happened to be Avri's Birthday!!! She is now 2!!!! We love her so much and are so happy that she is apart of our family!

At two, she is a silly and happy little girl! She loves all animals, especially doggies, kitties and heshes (horses)!

MeMe, Saw-er and Sheeooo (aka Brynli, Sawyer and Cheeto) are her best friends!!!!!

She is always walking Cheeto around, or making her go outside, or inside, or in another room, or sit by her, or eat her food, or drink her water, or brushing her...she gives Cheeto a LOT of attention! Notice Avri has no shoes on...and it doesn't even bother her! She absolutely insists on NOT wearing shoes!!!

She is a ham for the camera! She is always giving us a great smile! Along with playing in the dirt she also loves to play with the pretend food at home...another one of her favorite toys! She is also a talker! She goes on and on and on and on! She says tons of words and also tons of gibberish!

She loves, loves, loves her babies! She is always carrying a doll or two around. They are in the fort with her!

She loves cuddle time with mom! In this picture she just woke up from a nap and wouldn't play cause she needed to cuddle! She is such a Sweetie!!!

She was so excited to blow out the candles! We had sugar cookies instead of cake.

Check out that face! She is such a ham and jokester! She is always teasing someone!!! She has a great sense of humor. She thinks that she is hilarious and laughs at herself! It is adorable!!!

She loved blowing out the candles. We re-lit them many times!!!!! Look at the intense concentration! haha!!!

Time to eat! Mmmmmmm!!!!

Best big bro and sis ever!!!!

I love the next two Pictures! These two can be such good friends...

...or worst enemies. This is how the trip ended, with them in time out for fighting! haha

Back home again! She fell asleep on the floor with her baby! Brynli gave her a pillow and covered her up. Awwwww!!!

Of course she is wearing a dress...only thing she will wear! Playing with her new presents with Brynli.

And now playing with her ice cream! Mmmmmm! She knows when we are all watching her and when it's time to ham it up!!!

"See Mom!" What a cutie! We are so blessed to have her with us and we love her TONS!!!!

Happy Birthday Avri!!!!

Camping with the Ortons at Bruneau

In June we went camping at Bruneau Sand Dunes with some friends of ours, the Ortons. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the kids playing on the HUGE dunes (didn't want to ruin the camera) So all of the pictures were at our camp sight.

Of course there was tree climbing!

The mosquitoes were awful! Sawyer got eaten alive! When we got back home everybody asked if he had the Chicken Pox or the Measles. Poor kid!

Devin and Amie brought HUGE marshmallows for smores.

Huge Marshmallows= Huge MESS!!

Avri was posing on the table!

The two little girls! Aren't they cute!!!

If you notice in all the pictures Avri has no shoes or pants on! She refuses to wear either, which doesn't seem too fun when camping. But she didn't mind! Silly kid! What a great trip!

Botanical Gardens

We went to the Botanical Gardens here in Boise as a family. We had recently watched "The Secret Garden" so it was pretty exciting for the kids to explore a "real" secret garden. All the gardens were really pretty and peaceful....and somewhat magical! The gardens are right next to the Old State Penitentiary, so Sawyer mostly talked about wanting to go see the dungeons! Brynli on the other had found every single beautiful spot and flower. She loved every minute of it! She also found every single bench, chair, or cute spot to sit, and instantly posed for a picture! Avri was just along for the fun ride!

I love this Picture!
