Update

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted on the blog. We have had a lot going on. We had my cousin Kristin and her Husband here 2 weekends ago. We had so much fun with them here. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures because I didn't think of it at the time. We were able to spend Saturday and some of Sunday with them. We took them to a medical museum on base which was a lot of fun!!! Kristin is a nurse like me and her husband Daniel is in medical school so it was a lot of fun to have people that understand a little bit to go through the museum with us. Avarie loved having them here. She just want to play with them and probably talked their ears off.

For Thanksgiving we were unable to go back to Utah so we spent the day with some friends. That morning Derrick played in a "Turkey Bowl" with some of the men from the ward. He had a lot of fun. Avarie loved watching her daddy and playing with some of the other children that were there. We were able to have a wonderful holiday and long weekend with our little family.

Next thing is Avarie will be turning 2 on wednesday. We are so greatful for a sweet little girl. She is talking like crazy and is busy playing running around or reading books. She loves Princesses and is playing or pretending to be them constantly. She is growing up before our eyes and we love her dearly.

Sorry for the long post. I hope everyone's holiday season is going well!!

Funny incident

Yesterday I went to the bank while running some errands and the bank we are using is one for military members and their family. When we walked in there was a picture of a couple of soldiers in their uniforms and kevlar helmets with a helicopter in the back ground. Avarie all of the sudden kept saying "Daddy, daddy, daddy"!!!! I couldn't figure out what she why she was saying daddy, but finally she pointed to the pictures of the soldiers and said "daddy!" in the cutest little voice. It was so cute!!

Halloween

Here are some pictures of Avarie on Halloween. I wasnt able to get any good pictures of her when she was at our ward trunk or treat because it was too dark outside.

San Antonio River Walk

About a week and a half ago we took Avarie down to the Riverwalk for a boat ride. She was excited. There are some pictures of the scenery and some of Derrick and Avarie.
