Happy Memorial Day ...





Avery having a "fun" Memorial Day at 
Grandma and Grandpa's house

Just a quick note to thank all of those that have served, and who are serving, in the military.  Your dedication allows me to live a free life ... well, as "free" as it can be when I'm not being ordered to clean all the floors on my hands and knees at Grandma and Grandpa's house!!!

Super Sweet Third Birthday Party!!!!

You can all consider me a "big girl" now since I hit the big "3.0" a few weeks ago ... I know, I know, I'm late at posting this blog and pics of my sweet birthday party, but I've had so many great new toys to start playing with that I've been way too busy to do anything else lately!!!

Below are some pics of my big day ...

Mommy, Daddy, and Avery starting off the 
big day with a nice hike ...

Grandma Judy and Grandpa Eric drove in from out 
of town for my birthday too!!!

Avery's birthday party started off with Daddy escorting 
all the guests into the party using my wagon ...

... my buddy Mathew even helped with 
escorting at times... what a ham!!!

... and then we played massive amounts of my 
favorite game ... FREEZE TAG!!!

There was even top musical entertainment ... 
much thanks to "Dan the Musical Philosopher" ...

... the sandbox and playhouse/jungle-gym were 
again a big hit with everyone ...


 

And then finally came the most anticipated
part of the birthday extravaganza ...

... a CUPCAKE BIRTHDAY CAKE with dozens
and dozens and dozens of CUPCAKES!!!!!

... everybody dove right into the wonderful sugar blueness ...

... including me ...

... and Sophie ...

... and my buddy Noah, who won 
the "Messiest Cupcake Eater" award!!!

And then last but not least, all the super great gifts 
from all my friends and family ... thank you all so much!!!

Special Message for Nikki and Dan

Avery's very special message ...

Nikki and Dan,

Remember to buckle-up for your very long car ride and always, always, always have a cool drink in your hand and wear very dark sunglasses while driving on the road.  Have a fun road trip with Sedona and a very awesome summer vacation ... I'll write you soon!

Love, 
Avery

Happy Mama's Day

To celebrate Mother's Day today, I slaved all night long to craft a beautiful traditional brunch for my Mommy and my Mommy's Mommy, Grandma Wendy.  Daddy was allowed to come to our brunch also, but only because he helped me prepare things, especially when I had to cut stuff with very large knives.

Mommy, you are the best ... I love you!!!

And of course I can't forget about all the other Mommas that made it possible for me to be blogging right here, right now ...

Happy Mother's Day, Grandma Judy!!!
Happy Mother's Day, Great Grandma Lucille!!!
