Camping with the Winkel/Andersons

August 8, 2010

We got to go camping with Jerico family and his uncle's family. We went on Monroe Mountain by Koosheram. It was really cold. We had a lot fun fun hanging out by the camp fire, taking cover from the rain, riding four wheelers, playing cards, breakin open a pinata, eating birthday cake, eating lots of food, building huts, shoveling cow pies, fishing, unsnagging lines, playing horse shoes, and making hammocks. Needless to say we had a good time. Aevri loved camping. It's too bad our battery died the last night we were there. No battery = no heater. No heater= really cold. Really cold = sick baby!! Sorry Aevri!!

Aevri's new pool

After swimming in Aevri's friend Briggs' pool, I decided Aevri needed on of her own. She loves swimming in her pool. She'll even get on her tummy in the pool (she's only taken a mouth full of water a few times). It's too bad we didn't buy it earlier!

Don't tell me this hasn't ever happened to your child

I couldn't figure out why Aevri was crying on the way home from the store. Well I guess I figured it out. It must have been for 2 reasons :)
1. She must have been tired
2. Oh and she had a giant head band covering her eyes!
Woops sorry Aevri. The headbands are totally worthy it. They are super cute!

Thanks to Grandma Sue Aevri doesnt have to use her extremely unsafe Bumbo on the barstool for her high chair anymore. I found her new high chair on line. I absolutely love it. I don't know what I waited for so long to get one! Aevri loves it to. Now I don't have to supervise her at all times while she is sitting in her chair!! Right now Aevri absolutely loves her baby food. She's eating a good amount of rice cereal and half a container of fruits and veggies! She laughs and smiles the whole time she is eating!

New High Chair!

Chubby Cheeks

July 18, 2010

I know I've blogged about Aevri's chubby cheeks before but this picture is absolutely priceless. It captures the hugesness of her cheeks so well! I love it. They are so kissable and squeezable. Aevri is sporting a little souvenior Jerico and I brought home from our little trip to San Diego. I had to go for work so Jerico decided to go along with me. He got to play at Torre Pines golf course. He said the course was amazing. We had fun hanging out around the town and doing a whole lot of nothing. It was hard leaving Aevri. It's so great to know that she was in good hands with my family. How lucky am I that I have such great parents that are always so willing to help us out!!!

4th of July

4th of July!
I know I know I'm way off on keeping my blog up-to-date. But it doesn't hurt to still try to capture the memories right? Well today I went home sick with a yucky stomache bug and decided today would be the day I would get a couple of blog posts completed. I have a ton of things to blog about but we'll just start with the basics since I''m so terribly behind.

4th of July

For the 4th of July we got to spend it with the Staheli Family. Tons of fun. I must say... holidays are much more entertaining and enjoyable when you have kids (for now I think that) I had so much fun picking out Aevri a 4th of July outfit (which was on sale because I bought it the day before the 4th :)) She looked absolutely adorable. Aevri was six months old. She had so much fun seeing everyone. She absolutely loves being around people. Aevri even got to be in her first parade on Staheli Hill.

We should have got a picture BEFORE it was time for bed!

Gotta love the outfit right?
Sunday night we spent the evening in Pine Valley. Beautiful weather, delicious food, and great company. I don't think I quit eating the whole time I was there. Aevri got to show off another one of her 4th of July outfits and got to spend time with her Grandpa Curtis and Great Grandpa Graff. She was an absolute angel. She even fell asleep in her carseat before we left. She has a pretty early bed time. I like it that way!

Here is a picture of the Graff crew. We always have a ton of fun when we get together!

Pulling faces!

Aevri is getting way big and her dark thick hair is slowly fading! She's turning into a blondie! I can't believe it. She's still super cute (I think) We had so much fun with her Memorial Day weekend at the Ranch. She loves to be outside and see and hear new things!

Here is my first experiment uploading video to my blog.

Nykell wanted to see video of her sweet little

niece since she is a half a world away from us!

Yes you caught me.. she is still in her Pajamas!

And of course she wouldn't cooperate!! Sorry

We'll get her to laugh next time.

Catch up!

So it's official. I have the most beautiful, sweet, baby in the world. Who knew that i could have so much fun with my sweet little Aevri. She is getting so big and is getting such a fun personality. here's a couple of highlights of the last month or so

• The last week of April she got sick for the first time. She had a really stuffy, nose, a fever, and was acting really tired. We decided to take her to the doctor. Sure inough she had an ear infection. Poor thing. She was a trooper. She was still her happy loving self the whole time she was sick. She loved her pink amoxicillin. I loved getting to take care of her because she was extra cuddley.
• May 4th she had her 4 month check up and shots. Dr. Clark said she was doing great. She is really strong and gaining weight really well. Dr. Clark keeps telling me how lucky we are who sleeps through the night (She's done that shince she was 10 weeks old) I know I know so lucky. Here 4 month stats : Lenth 24.25 in (50th%) Weight 13.56 (50th%) compared to her 2 month statst length 23 in (74th%) weight 10.56 lb (42th%).
• Friday May 7th. Aevri rolled over!! Total suprise. She was hanging out with Grandma Annette and unexpectedly she rolled over. I came home 1 minute later... We got her to do it again so I didn't feel too bad!
• For mother's day weekend we took a road trip to Richfield (her first road trip)We had a great time with Jerico's family. She got to play with all her cousins. They had a lot of fun. Her cousins all think Aevri is pretty cool.
• On mother's day we got to talk to Uncle Chance. It was good to hear from him. Aevri was asleep when aunt Nykell called. She didn't call until 11 pm. Aevri was asleep long before then!
• Thurdsay May 13th was our anniversary. We've been married 4 years! We had a good day. I had to work but we went to dinner later that night. We kind of celebrated all week by buying crap all week. We got a Dyson vacuum, treadmill, new running shoes for both of us and I indulged and bought some new perfume!
• Saturday May 15th Aevri went swimming for the first time! She had a lot of fun. She loved the water and looked adorable in her swimsuit. Mom and Grandma Annette took her to Great Grandma Putmnams pool we lasted almost 2 hours!!
• Sunday May 16th Aevriwoke up this morning and laughed and laughed at mommy. Jerico and I laughed our heads of at her because she was so funny when she laughs. It totally sounds fake. Aevri also had a lot of fun at church. Aevri entertained the people sitting behind us. She smiled laughed and even blew bubbles at them. What a dork! She loves attention. She also loves church because she loves looking around and seeing new things.

Aevri is also a slobberly mess, loves to chew on toys, and blow bubbles. She is better than me at blowing her lips. I think that about sums up the last two weeks. It would probably easier to remember things if I didn't wait so long to "blog" them. Oh well.

I left my camera at work. I'll post some pics to go along with this hopefully soon!

Chubby Cheeks

Here are some pictures of my cute little girl and her CHUBBY CHEEKS

Is she not the cutest? She is so much fun and has turned into a momma's girl. She smiles all the time and talks ALL the time. Even to herself. She likes to stand up on my legs and look right at my face and talk. So much fun! She is the best baby. She even sleeps 10 hours a night. Wow am I lucky. I get to go back to work tomorrow so thanks to those who will be getting to help me out to watch her.
