Happy 3rd Birthday Avery!

Avery turned 3 years old on October 27th! She is getting so big and so beautiful! We are going to have our hands full with her as she gets older. :) She is such a sweet little girl! She loves to help around the house and she is good at sharing with her brother. She is very smart and independent and very dramatic. She is also a big goof ball. She say's some of the funniest things! She loves her family and giving hugs and can't wait to be a big sister! We absolutely love having this sweety pie in our family!

Tom had been out of town since Sunday and got home the day of Avery's birthday. He got in that afternoon and didn't have to go into work so we were able to spend most of the day together as a family. What an enjoyable day it was!

Were had planned on taking the kids to ChuckE Cheese but Tom was pretty tired so we just stayed home and ate pizza I picked up from Little Caesars. We did presents and then had a cupcake. Very simple but very nice! Thanks to all of our family and friends that sent Avery gifts!

Happy Birthday Avery Dear!
You are such a joy in our lives!
Love your Family

Trunk-or-Treat

We had our ward Trunk-or-Treat Saturday the 22nd. We had to do it the weekend before Halloween because it was our stake conference the weekend of Halloween.

The kids really enjoyed it and got the hang of it this year more than they did last year. All in all it was like any other trunk-or-treat, food, game booths, bouncy house, costume parade and of course the trunk-or-treating. Great family fun!

Since Tom was left to man the car and I could barely keep up with the kids
this is the only good Trunk-or-Treating picture we got.

October 11th-15th my dad came to visit! As always it is great to have visitors!

It had been over a year since the kids had seen their grandpa so Avery was scared of him at first. She kept hiding behind my legs but warmed up before we got done with our lunch. Cole was a little hesitant but warmed up right away.

My pretty little niece Paisley!

While he was here, since it was so close to my nephew Jayden's birthday and Avery's birthday, we had a small family party for them so grandpa could be here to help celebrate. We had a nice dinner, presents and cake.

That Friday while my dad was here Tom took off the day and we went to Johnson Space Center, where Tom works, and he gave us the private grand tour. We saw the Saturn V rocket, the Historic Mission Control, the International Space Station and Shuttle mock up and Tom's office. Tom, the kids and I have already seen it all but my dad, being his first time, really enjoyed it!

After a long fun day.

When we had to take grandpa to the airport the kids were so sad. They wanted grandpa to stay at our house.

Saying good bye is always hard to do!

This is a horrible picture of me
but unfortunately it is one of the only pictures taken
of me and my dad together, awake!

We had a great time with Gampy here!

Thanks for coming dad!
We love you and miss you!
