Spring Time

Just trying to play catch up before I post about McKenna. Spring was good. We were able to do some fun things with Avery.

We took her to farm country at thanksgiving point. She loved the pony ride and loved holding on by herself. She didn't want to get off so we paid for her to go again. 

She also loved feeding the animals.

She likes having tea parties. She will usually have me or Ben sit with her and she will pour us some tea then we do cheers and take a sip. Here she is having a tea party with her stuffed animals.

One night we took Avery swimming. She loved it last summer, but I think she is going to have to be warmed up to it again. She didn't really like the splashing on the kids play area, but loved walking on one of the benches they had.

One day we were doing yard work and Ben heard the ice cream truck and gave in and took Avery to get some creamies. Ever since she has pointed out the window when she hears it (which is every day).

Avery loves watching movies on our ipad.

Lately she has been loving playing in our bed. She will tuck herself in and lay there for awhile. 

Enjoying a little picnic lunch.

Avery loves shoes. She loves playing in our shoes or putting them on us. She has also gotten pretty good at putting on her shoes.

Just some good faces she pulled one day.

Easter was lots of fun this year. It was fun to watch Avery in the Easter Egg Hunts we went to. I thought she would go for the candy, but she went for the eggs. At the park they had the Easter bunny there. She was afraid of him just like Santa.

Looking through her Easter basket.

She didn't really cooperate with taking pictures. These were the best I could get.

She loves her daddy.

A weekend in May we decided to take a quick trip to St. George. The weather wasn't fantastic, but we still had a great time. The first night we stayed with Ben's friend Josh and his family. They were celebrating their baby boy's first birthday. So we celebrated with them. Then in the morning we went to a discovery museum. Avery loved it, especially the grocery store part. Later that afternoon we went swimming at their rec center. It was a fun day.

The next day we went to some sand dunes.

More pictures from the museum:

My friend gave me the idea to make home made paint. I gave it a try and Avery loved it.

One Sunday I decided to give Avery a hair cut that was much needed.

Avery loves playing with my make-up.

She likes to put on her clothes. Usually everything goes on her legs. Here she is trying to put her shirt on. She cracks me up.

One day I decided to take Avery to the zoo. It was pretty tiring being super pregnant. She ran away from me a couple times and had to run after her. After that I buckled her in her stroller for the rest of the time.

More pictures of her playing in my shoes.

Love this one:

Granite Elementary was having their end of the school year carnival and we decided to go. Avery loved the train and playing in the bounce house, but she mainly just loved playing on the playground.

She was pretty tired after it all. Even with all the sugar we gave her.

One day we visited my mom at work and went on a train ride, played in the little dinosaur play area and went on the merry-go-round. She loved it.

We went to the zoo again, but this time I had my mom to help me. Thanks mom! We also went with my sister Brooke and Ellia, and cousins Jack and Sophie. It was a fun time. Avery loves the zoo.

We are loving the warmer weather and excited to play all summer! Hopefully the warm weather lasts a long time!
