Family Pics

I wanted to get family pictures to send out in Christmas cards this year. My cousin Sydney does a great job with photography so I asked her to take them for us. She is so great to work with. Her turn around time on the pics is so fast!! I hate waiting to see how shots turn out. Love her. Here are some of the family shots and some shots of just Aevri. I thought they turned out adorable.

Crawlin'!

Aevri is moving all over the place. I'm not sure I would exactly call it crawling.... but she definately is moving. She loves moving around to find all of her hidden toys and she even will try to get her kitty. She is too slow to get him but still has a lot of fun. She's getting pretty strong. You can tell in the pictures she is doing her baby push ups! WE LOVE YOU LITTLE MONKEY!!

My Favorite

I think these pictures speak for themselves. Isn't she adorable!!! My friend Alisha Shaw took these shots. We had so much fun playing and taking pictures of Aevri. She loves being in the lime light!

Couldn't Resist

I love this picture of Aevri. She looks so adorable with her cute church dress on, messy hair, dirty, drooly face. I love Sundays when I get to dress her up. She actually is still pretty good at church. She has fun teasing the people sitting behind us!

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!

Old "high chair"

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!
