Happy 18 Months to Avery! {September 9, 2014}

Avery is 18 months old. Can’t believe it! These days she loves to go outside, she loves to go down slides, swing in swings, play in dirt, sand or woodchips. She loves to walk around and explore and she especially loves when I take her on walks in the stroller. I keep the stroller in the trunk of the car so anytime I go somewhere, Avery goes to the trunk and gets really upset when I put her in the car seat instead. She loves sugary cereal, pickles and cheese (but not all together). She is very shy these days. Any time we are around other people she is very clingy. She went to Nursery for the first time on Sunday and was very nervous but warmed up by the end. Avery is practically perfect in every way and we just love her!

Jess has this neat barn by her home but when we went to take pictures there, Avery was not cooperating. She pretty much cried the whole time except for when she was holding my hand. I was able to get just a few pictures but not much. I guess this is a good snapshot of how she is most of the time :)

We had to wait at Fred Meyer so we found this patch of dirt on the side of the road and Avery loved it!

Park Time! We like having this little playground in our complex. Avery mostly loves playing with the woodchips. We go there about every day.

Bryce’s Birthday and Moving to Seattle

Bryce turned 26 this year contrary to what his birthday cake says. We spent most of the day packing but Bryce did go golfing with Jake and in the evening we roasted hot dogs up the canyon.

Avery loved dancing in the back of Tyler and Nichole’s new car.

All packed up and ready to go. We had a lot of help from the Morrises and Pinders so the loading and cleaning went pretty quickly.

Tamara helped us move by coming out here, helping us unload and get settled into our new place not to mention entertain Avery so we decided go into the city one day and got Ivars. We sat outside by all the crazy seagulls.

The best thing about living here is having cousins close!
