Happy Double Digits, Avery!!!!

This is my big sissy, Avery, with Mimi, a horse

 who was also born on April 30, 2008!!

{honestly I'm getting a little jealous 

because I ride Mimi, not Avery!!!}

I think this was the part when they sang "Happy Birthday"

{I dunno, I was busy playing my new My Little Pony game}

The main thing I like about Avery's birthday is ...

that my birthday is only a few weeks away!!!!

Finally, present opening time!!!!

{the part I actually like about other people's birthdays}

Here is Avery with all her close friends 

{and her great little sister} at Ace Of Escape

 before going into our ESCAPE ROOM!!!

Here we are after escaping our cat puzzle of a room 

with only 1:29 mins still on the clock ... we won!!!!

Then off to the Hub to eat dinner and ICE CREAM!!!!!

{That was really my favorite part of the day!!!}

Avery took these pictures with her birthday present 

from Mommy and Daddy ...

A FILM CAMERA!!??!??!!

{I'm just sad I'm only in one picture!!}

Happy Birthday Big Sister!!!

WE ARE KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL?!?!?!?!?!?

Daddy tells us there is no school tomorrow (the teachers are striking?!?!?), 
but we think he's lying ...

Seriously!! I thought all my teachers liked me!!

Well who cares about missing two days of school anyways??

 At least it's now the weekend and it doesn't matter anymore!!

 Weekends mean gym time!!!

And gym time means Jamba Juice, then shopping!!!
I bumped into my friend Shannon, so we played in the car cart!!!
When we were done, Shannon got stuck because 
grocery stores don't make car carts her size!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Since teachers from all schools were striking, we got to hang out 

with friends at other schools too, like Chiara!!!

Making SLIME!!!!

Then Avery had the best idea of making a nest 
inside the garbage can!!!

Then I spent the longest ten minutes in my life at Avery's 

orthodontist when she had to get her expander expanded!!! 

With all of this free time, we hung out a lot

 with all of our animal friends like Sophie ...

Mutt and Jeff (really Scout-No and Stella)
having bath time-together time!!!

We even saw what animals roam by the house when 

we are normally in school ... look at how big this bobcat is!!!

And of course Owlie!!!

We had fun with our two best dogs ever ... Scout-No is the best ...

... and Stella is ... well, she's Stella!!!

Mommy helped to fill in all the down time too ...

... we would spin for hours and hours and hours ...

... Stella says "Hey, what about playing with me!!!"

Fun times!!!

Avery even made little clay creatures to pass the time

And haven't you heard?? 

Backwards is in and the right way is out and boring!  

So, in a way peeing backwards is now cool too!!!

Monkeys monkeying around ...

... climbing up high in trees to past the time!!!

But after over a week of this striking business, 

we were starting to go stir-crazy!!!

Toward the end of it, we had a lot of couch down time ...

... so thank goodness the teachers got a raise (sort of) 

and school went back to normal!!!

Happy Birthday, Momma!!!

Mommy's birthday celebration started out with a Sophie visit ...

... then was followed by a fabulous grilled dinner ...

... along with an interpretive dance routine ...

... and then tasty birthday cake wishes ...
(I tried to steel the show by blowing out mommy's candles!!)

... not only once, but twice ...
(Lucky for mommy I was siting a seat away from her.)

... which then led to Mommy's birthday wishes coming true 

by heading down to SPRING FLING

 for UNLIMITED RIDES!!!!

It was so much fun ...

... we all went on the humongous FERRIS WHEEL ...

 super cool!!! The only thing that wasn't so 
fun was daddy rocked the cart on me!

And then Mommy went solo of a super crazy spiny ride ...

{I really wanted to go too, but needed to be an extra foot taller}

... and there were tons for super cool kiddie rides ...

... along with crazy rides for both kids and adults ...

... tons of adventurous mazes and such ...
(I'm not leaving Avery behind, she's just a slow-poke!)

... with floors that moved and tossed you all around ...

... and super huge trucks that drove over mountains ...

... with lots of treat breaks in-between all the fun!!!

We all had the best day ever ...

... even Avery rode a ton of fast spinning rides ...

Happy Birthday Mommy, we love you!!!
