Go UTES!

Jake has season tickets with his friends from high school and they all went out of town for the holiday, so this little munchkin and I got to tag along!...and of course they won! She was so cute. She always complains that things are too loud, so Jake went and got her a pair of ear plugs. She was so self conscience about them that she wanted her hair left down around her ears. Funny little kid! She was a pretty good little fan!

Rylee stayed home with Jan and Hayden...but of course we couldn't not deck her out!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we went to my mom's to eat. Because Jake's parents live in Malad, we normally will have Thanksgiving at my parents house and then spend the weekend up in Malad and cut down our Christmas tree. This year we went up to Idaho before Thanksgiving. I have to admit, having it all done and having Friday and Saturday to ourselves was kind of nice. Jake didn't act like he was in a hurry to get some where and we could all relax a little bit. It was a very enjoyable weekend.

Hayden's First Thanksgiving

My mom was pretty cute and had the kids make oreo turkeys!

Angie and Chase

Do you think we could get all three of the kids to get a picture?! Ya right!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Cutting Down Our Christmas Tree

You just never know what you will find in the mountains!!

Our tree!

This year was no different than the last few years, only we went up before Thanksgiving and it made everything else feel not so rushed. It was a beautiful day. We couldn't have asked for better. Jake, the girls, Josh, Bruce and I all trucked up the mountain. Jan stayed home with Hayden. I was impressed with how well the girls did! This has become a really fun tradition for our little family! ...it helps too that my girls love to be with their uncle Josh!

Last year we bought a fake, pre-lit tree because we went home empty handed. Knowing that we had backup took the pressure off finding one! They are definitely Charlie Brown kind of trees but hopefully my kids enjoy it and it will become a fun thing for them to look forward to.

Quotes by Miss Avery

"Can I sit on your laps?" (meaning lap) Summer 2012

We were watching America's Got Talent the other night and Avery tells me that she wants to go up on that stage, but that I would need to take her since she didn't know where it was. I asked her if she was going to sing or dance. She, of course, said dance! 7/3/12

Avery went with my parents to see Andrew (my cousin) play lacrosse. After the game, they went to get an ice cream cone. My dad asked Avery if she like her cone. She put her hand to her mouth and whispered to my mom "tell him, she's diggin' it!" They laughed so hard. 6/12

I gave Avery a brownie, "I need some milk to drink it down" 2/6/12

When Avery is tired, she tells me that her "eyes are red". 9/2011

I came in from Church to change my clothes and saw Avery laying in my bed. I smiled at her as I walked by, her response "don't smile at my mom, my eyes are tired!" 9/25/11

Fwip-hops=flip flops 5/2011

swim soup=swim suit5/2011

We are in the middle of potty training, Avery had had an accident on the downstairs couch and I told her to run up and finish going potty. When I came upstairs, apparently she had to go too bad because the rug was soaked. As she is sitting there with those big blue eyes, she proceeds to tell me "It's otay mom, you tan tlean it up, it's otay." I told her that it's not okay and she argued with me back and forth! It's not a big deal that she had an accident, but I don't WANT to clean it up!! 03/4/11

I'm sitting in the computer room and Avery is eating some cereal. She yells to me that "Fresh Beat" is over and I yell back that "Go, Diego Go" will be on...she yells back "Otay!!" Obviously, she watches too much TV! 1/17/11

We were driving up to my mom's in the far left lane, driving through the river bottoms where it kind of curves, it was dark so she could see the on coming traffic, when I hear "cars are coming mom, beep!" Apparently, she thought we were going to hit the other cars!! 01/07/11

I delivered dinner to a family and came out crying, Avery asked "you need a tissue mom?". 12/22/10

Avery went to nursery, and she has been having a hard time liking it, but the last two weeks she has actually gone without crying. Apparently, her teacher said that one little girl was crying and Avery went up to her and patted her shoulder and told her "it's okay, I miss my daddy too!" 12/07/10

I was putting Avery to bed, and as I was telling her good night, she asked me "mommy tired?" I answered, "yes". She rolled over and said "Avery tired". And that was that! 11/03/10

At church we were taking the sacrament, after she had gotten the water by herself, she leans over to me and says "that was fun, mom"!! 10-24-10

I was trying to get some cute pictures of Avery in the corn maze, when out of the blue, Avery says "stop pictures, mom" 10-15-10
