Daddy and Ave's driving the mini-ex. Ave's is destined to be a dirt-girl. She gets fuming mad if

Brent starts up the 4-wheeler and doesn't offer to take her for a ride. We are just in the process of trying to finish our backyard so Avery has a place to play. We especially need somewhere that she can't escape from since she has started crawling. Daddy still calls her "bunches of lunches" as you can see from the pictures her fat little cheeks are getting "sooooo skinny" now that she is everywhere. She is getting so smart and now she can wave bye bye and she says mom and dad and she absolutely knows what she is saying when she says it. She has quite a little personality and she is totally in charge of Brent and I. She knows what she wants and knows exactly how to get it.

This was our backyard just one month ago. Brent has worked his guts out to finish the backyard for Ave's. Thanks Brent. I love you!

It looks like Mommy is squishing Ave's again.

We finally got our lawn planted a couple weeks ago and lookie how good it is growing! I think these two can't wait to wrestle on it.
My first cupcake for Daddy's 30th birthday. Dang he is an old fart. But I think that we are gonna keep him because we just got him broke to lead.
Whoa baby! Sugar High!

Mama's girl.

This last weekend we took Avery on her 1st fishing and boating trip. We went over to Otter Creek, which is just below fish lake for the afternoon. As you can tell, she had a great time. About 5 minutes after this picture Grandpa was showing Ave's his fish and it flipped out of his hands and landed right in mine and Avery's lap. I was screaming and the fish was flipping and flopping and Grandpa was trying to catch the fish and it scared the daylights out of Ave's. It took a good 5 minutes for her dry sobs to stop. We caught our limit in no time with Grampy's expert fishing tips and a little luck. Avery hates her life jacket with a passion! I think it squishes her little pot belly. (Her daddy doesn't call her bunches of lunches for nothing!) We have got to get her used to that life jacket because I am planning on a lot of boating this summer.

No wonder he can't catch any fish. He's always busy baiting my hook! What a good man!
Bos must have got some luck back because he finally started to catch some fish! They usually know when it is him on the other end. He usually tries to rub on me for luck.

We can't wait to go Easter camping in 2 weeks with our Bassett cousins. I hope the Easter Bunny can still find Ave's even in the sheep camp! But for now, we will put in a couple of scrap pages so you don't forget how cute Avery is. Hope to see you all soon!

Another digi-scrap page. KrisAnn and I are learning an entirely different language now that we are blogging and digi-scrapping. I am so one track minded now that I am just trying to scrap book every chance I get. This is way better than spending a fortune on scissors, paper, and stickers! And, they are much easier to share with friends and family. Brent and I are starting to finish the basement so my parents (who I believe are possibly the most brilliant people in the entire universe) are coming down this weekend to help us do the electrical work.

These are old Pictures from October 2007 but I just learned how to digital scrap and I am trying to post the scrap page. Here goes.....
