Ok, all of you started to tell me I suck at blogging, so I decided that it was time to put up some more pictures. But, just to warn you, after these, there will probably be another 3 month break! For Christmas we went on a Cruise down to Mexico. It was so much fun! We drove down to San Diego and left from there. Avery was so good. There was a period for about 1 hour that she screamed non stop and Cameron was in the car. He ended up in tears saying he was ready to get back in the car w/ my mom and dad. Come to find out after all Avery's crying, she decided to cut her first tooth on our trip! Other than that she did so good. On the drive home she didn't cry once. We got the chance to go to Disneyland the day before we set out. Dave had never been before and we had such a fun time. We are definately planning on going back!

They had a couple of these huge trees w/ ornaments around. It was so fun going during Christmas!

This was my first time going on a cruise. Holy Ship! Those boats are huge. There was plenty of entertainment going on for all of us. There was a marriage game, and we all screamed loud enough that my mom and dad were chosen from the crowd. They actually ended up winning and they got a bottle of champagne. Dave did karaoke- he is such a good singer!

This is my family that went. My Gma and Gpa Wheeler, and my uncle Jeff (my mom's brother) also came along w/ a couple other families from Rexburg.

Nicole, me, my mom, Cam, and Avery setting sail. There was a ship right to the side of us.

We went out to Cabo San Lucas and to Ensenada. In Cabo Nicole and I got to swim w/ the dolphins- so fun! The boys all went parasailing. In Ensenada we went out to a blowhole. I guess there are only 3 in the world. We have now been to 2- Ensenada and Hawaii. Next stop: Australia.


Notice here in Ensenada we had jackets on. It was about 55. Then in Cabo it was like 80. Good thing we packed both kinds of clothes.

Avery loved the sun! The first pic is the pic of the whole family right before getting off the boat at Cabo!

My Granparents were so cute! They bought tons of stuff. Leave it up to my Gpa to bargain!

After we got back to land we loaded up the car and got on our way. Most of you know Dave and his testy personality. Leave it up to him to have some guy stop us in the middle of the road, come up to the window and start dropping the F bomb. And the whole time it was going on, Dave was trying to turn on his cell phone to record it! Let's just say I was going to kill him. Anyway, we had a great trip. We are now back home and Avery started walking on Monday! She also has 4 teeth now. She learned this new cheesy face that she does when we say cheese. Don't mind the one on the right- she was eating an oreo!

Avery walks more and more each day. Hope you like the mohawk. Anyway, you can tell I still don't really know how to post pictures, but I will learn eventually.

This picture is kinda blurry but I thought Avery looked so cute in her dress!

We finally got some of the pictures from our camping trip uploaded. We went up to Sawmill Canyon and we all had such a good time. It was our only "official" camping trip of the summer.

This is our little jalepeno.

Happy Halloween!

Finally, another post. I am sure a lot of you have given up on checking out our blog since it has been so long since we posted any pictures. Time goes by so fast. Avery is 7 months old and gets bigger everyday. She is almost crawling- she can go backwards and ends up getting herself pinned up against everything. She also said her first word- "dada". We have tons of pictures from the summer and the fun adventures that we had.

We went to the fireworks in IF, which were awesome. Avery loved the first 2 mins- then went to sleep.

We also had a couple family reunions. For my mom's side of the family we went up to Sawmill Canyon and pretty sure the back window in my dad's brand new truck shattered on the way out. Avery loved riding on the motorbike w/ dad.

We took Avery out on the boat for the first time she loved it. I love her chubby legs!!

Our neighbor, Annalee Taylor, took our family pictures and she did such a good job here are just two of the many that we LOVE!

I don't really know what I'm doing when I post pictures and it takes me an hour, so here are just a few, when I get more time we will post more. Hope everyone is doing well!!

I thought that it's about time to post some pics and update our blog. We are keeping busy with summer here. This week was like the first week of summer I swear. It has been so nice. Today we finally got bark in for our yard. It is so nice to have it almost finished. I will post a pic when I get one. Avery is getting so big. She is 4 months old already- We went to the Dr. this week and she is up to 14 lbs and 24 inches long. We also celebrated Dave's birthday a couple weeks ago. He turned the BIG 30!! We spent the day with family and had a lot of fun.

These are a couple of the "family pics" that we have randomly taken.

I had to post these last ones to show how chubby Avery's legs and cheeks are getting. We love it!!

Growing like a weed......

It has been a long time since we have put up some pics. Avery is 7 wks old now and is getting so big, especially in her cheeks!! This last Sunday we blessed her and we have a couple pics of her in her dress. It was so nice to see friends and family there! We were so lucky that it was such a nice day. We had a breakfast and everyone was able to sit outside. Then the next day the news said it hit like 77 degrees. Then last night the snow came. I wish we had a pic of how hard it was snowing. Anyway, here are some of the latest pictures. Hope everyone is doing well!!

HERE SHE IS......

We finally decided it was time to get going on our blog since we started it a while ago, but never really knew what we were doing. Avery was born on Feb. 22, 2008 (2 weeks early) and weighed in at 6 lbs 7 oz and was 18 inches long. We're not quite sure where the dark hair came from, but we sure do love it. Most people say she looks like her dad. We will post more pictures, just remember that we are new to this blog thing and don't really know what we are doing.
