Park Visit

Avarie and I went to the Park yesterday. I worked 3 days ina row and that bothered her so I decided we would have some mommy and baby time so I took her to the park while we waited for Derrick to get out of class. It was so funny she was squeeling at the ducks and geese because they would walkl less than 3 feet away from you (they are really use to people). It was a lot of fun we just walked around or sat and watched the birds for 2 hours. I am posting picture of avarie but it is from my phone so I am not sure it will turn out real well.

New Pics

Here are some new pictures of Avarie. We were able to get new family pictures on the 21st with my family. I think they are going to turn out really cute. Avarie was a real ham.

New Niece

We have a new niece. She was born yesterday August 19th at around 12:00 PM. Tori had her 17 days early and she was 18 inches long I believe, and she weighed 5 lbs 6 oz. She is so adorable. Congratulations Tori and Jason.

Projects

Avarie is "helping" daddy.

Well this week was an eventful week. We got a couple of projects done around the house. We got the rest of the outlets switched out to white ones and hauled rock to one of the flower beds to do some desert landscaping. We also tiled our downstairs bathroom. which was interesting. I am sure there are imperfections, but atleast it turned out a lot better than the nasty flooring that was in there before. The funny story about redoing the flooring is that Derrick was trying to fix the toilet down there and he broke the bowl of the toilet which means we need to buy a new toilet, but while the seal was broken we figured it would be easier to tile the bathroom now than break the seal twice to do it later. So we were kind of stuck. Oh well new flooring whoo hoo. The pictures are of Avarie trying to help Derrick with the outlets and switches.

Avarie the stair climber

Derrick taught Avarie recently to crawl up the stairs herself. He showed her on two steps and then she did it by herself the rest of the way up the stairs.

Camping

Avarie's first camping trip happened on the 1st through the 3rd of auguat. She loved being out in the dirt and playing outside all day. So did out dog Kaelen. both were so dirty by the time we got home they both had to get a bath. We went hiking around and playing in the water at the reservoir at rockport state park near kamas. It was a lot of fun especially when Avarie slept really well and actually slept in. Who though camping would help her sleep better. I will attach pictures hopefully tomorrow or Monday.
