My How She's Grown

This picture was taken of Avery when she was about 5 weeks old.

Here she is at 5 months! She is growing up to be the cuttest little girl
She loves to stand and put pressure on her feet. She has for a couple months now. I acutally was able to stand her up and take a couple shots. Doesn't she look darling in her princess dress?

Looking cool in her shades
Avery is starting to help hold her bottle when she eats. This day she was holding her favorite rattle and didn't want to let go. She realized it could be used to help prop up her bottle.

Everyday we wonder what we did before our precious Avery came into our lives. We are so thankful to our Heavenly Father for this amazing miracle.

Avery's First Swim

Avery has always enjoyed bath time (that is as long as she is not hungry.....which we learned the hard way) so we thought she would really enjoy a little swim. A couple weeks ago we blew up our outdoor pool and filled it with water. It was a nice hot afternoon so the day was perfect. Avery did enjoy the swim. Here are a few shots.

5th Anniversary

We celebrated our 5th anniversary in June. We decdided to spend the time as a family and headed to McCall Idaho for an overnight trip. The drive was beautiful and the scenery amazing. We had a great time and can't wait to go back soon!

Family Reunion II

The second part of our vaction was spend in Idaho Falls. We had a family reunion with all of Seth's siblings and thier families. It was so much fun to be together! Plus there is nothing better than Idaho Falls on the 4th of July.

Hanging out with cousin Peter. He is just 7 weeks older that Avery. My what a big boy. Don't you love their cordinating outfits. When Avery first meet Peter she was so excited. She started waving our arms and reached out and grabbed his arm. It was so cute.

We spend most of the week helping with getting Seth's parents house prepared to be painted. This is the before pictures. It isn't done yet so we don't have a the after picture to share yet.

Spending time with her couins, Kassidy, Kandy and Kally.

She loved it!

Family Reunions

Avery and I were able to fly to St George to attend the Wood Family Reunion the last weekend in June. It is a huge reunion with My Dad's side of the family and all his aunts and uncles. We had a fabulous time visiting family and enjoying St. George. We wish we were able to get down there more often. Unfortunately Seth was unable to join us due to a work conference but we were able to meet up with him after the weekend to spend the week in Idaho Falls. Avery got the chance to meet several new family members like Aunt Amber, Uncle Austin, her cousins Keith and Scottie, Grandma Dove and tons of my Aunts uncles and Cousins. We had a blast.
