Old MacDonald had a ...

Avery and Shannon touring around
all the farm animals

We had so much fun last weekend!!! I got to see all sorts of farm animals ... even some that I've never heard about before.

Avery and Shannon also picked up Sophia on the ride
(and Sophia's goofy dad)

Avery trying to pet a llama ... whatever that is ...

... awww, look at the cute chicks ...

... and the cute cow and the cute sheep ...

... and the cute duckies and goose ... well, the goose
was just ok looking ... actually, he was sort of even mean ...

... and look how the goat just poops anywhere he wants ...
he must be a load of fun to live with ...

... and best of all was the little tiny horse ...
I wanted to hop up on him, but was only allowed to feed him ...
maybe next time

In search of, The Great Pumpkin ...

Beginning of my Great Pumpkin quest

Although it seems like I was just in the pool the other day (well, actually it was just last weekend), it must now be Fall all the sudden since we loaded up into the car yesterday and ventured out of town to began that quest for that picture perfect Great Pumpkin of the season ...

As we ran into the pumpkin patch, right off the bat I could tell that Mommy did not have the attention to detail that is necessary in order to find that Great Pumpkin. She would run up to any old thing and try to call me over to it, when in reality it would be sooo disformed and sooo discolored that you could tell it had been cast aside many many other times by all the explorers prior to us.

Mommy hopelessly finding the
absolute opposite of "great" pumpkins

And as Mommy was pointing out yet another "so-so" pumpkin, in the distance out of the corner of my eye, I saw her, or rather she saw me ... could this be my Great Pumpkin I have been searching so long for?!!??

Avery pointing out what could possibly be, The Great Pumpkin ...

... and with Mommy's help, Avery runs
through the patch to see if it is true ...

... and yes, yes, it is true!!! The Great Pumpkin has been found!!!
And she's just like me ... petite and cute as a button!!!!

Avery's First College Party ...

Avery all dressed up for her first college party

Since we moved far far away from the University and don't get to walk down there from home anymore, Mommy and Daddy arranged to have a party on the campus down there!!! My on-again/off-again boyfriend was down there as well and I even made a new best friend ...

Everyone mingling and doing party-like things ...

... this is my new best friend Sophie ... she's only a few months old
and is way bigger than me already!!! She'll be a really good friend
to have in case any bigger kids ever pick on tiny ol' me ...

... and you probably remember Nick,
up to his funny-game tricks as usual ...

... everyone had lots and lots and lots of fun!!!

Party Time ... Excellent!!!!

Who's that dancing and spinning around all crazy like
while wearing kitchen utensils on her head ...

... why it's Avery having lots and lots of fun while
Mommy is out of town, of course!!!

Since Mommy left me and Daddy to fend for ourselves over the weekend, I decided it was time to "cut loose" and do a lot of the things Mommy never lets me do, like ...

... climb and play around on huge gigantic turtles ...

... jump up and down on the stroller ...

... roll in the snake infested grass ...

... try to ride Scout-No ...

... pet animals in cages ...

... eat leftover food from Scout-No's bed ...

... and just party all night (and morning)
long with my fun loving Daddy!!!

Comfy Cozy Closet Space ...

Avery napping in one of her all-time favorite places to nap ...

I'm really starting to just absolutely love my new home ... and there's this one favorite spot of mine that's just so much fun to play all around in and explore. In fact, I spend so much time there that as I fall into my dreams, I'm often whisked back to that very special place of mine.
