Avery and Daddy

Avery hasn't really been into books, but lately all she wants to do is have mommy and daddy read to her. Last night it was the cutest thing when Brad was reading her the book, I Love You, Stinky Face. Every time he'd read about the dinosaur she'd go "rooarr". This picture captures it perfectly. Nothing melts my heart more then seeing Avery and her daddy spend time together. She has the best dad ever and he's soo good to her. I'm so grateful  that I was blessed with such a wonderful husband. I must admit, I'm a little bit sad that Avery's been more into her Daddy lately, but then again I love seeing the two of them together!! 

My Cute Niece

My niece Desea had her Primary Program at church today and I got to go. My sister is in the hospital from a procedure, so my niece got to stay with us for a couple days. My mom and I took her shopping yesterday for a new dress and shoes. These pictures were after her program and as you can tell she's a crazy little girl, but we love her. She did such a good job and we're so proud of her!

Wordless Wednesday

The Countdown Begins

4 days until we're off to the Happiest Place On Earth!!
This will be Avery's 3rd trip to Disneyland since she was born. Daddy has been preparing her, by having her watch Disney Sing Along videos and buying her different Disney Character stuff animals. She can't quite say there names yet, but if you ask her for them she knows who's who.

My wide angle lens came in today and I'm very excited about that!! Happy Monday everyone!!

Oma's Pumpkin Patch

My niece Desea who is in preschool had a field trip to the Pumpkin Patch today. Since I was watching Charity, who is pretty much like my sister in law, I thought it would be fun to meet up with my sister and nieces. The girls had a good time even though it was probably 100 degrees out and they were sweating like pigs!Avery wasn't up for taking many pictures, but I got some good ones of the girls. We Love Oma's Pumpkin Patch and look forward to our trip there next year.

Pinterest Ideas...

Since my sister in law Sarah interduced me to Pinterest, I've been addicted. When I saw this idea, I went on a hunt to all thrift stores for plates and candle holders. This person used glasses and plates, but I like the look of candle holders instead. I also saw these cookies  and they looked delicious and since my sister came over to swim on this scorching hot day, we decided to make them. They were delicious! I put rolos in the middle of mine too.

Pumpkin Decorating

Saturday night, Brad went with his brothers Jeff, Wes, Uncle Mike, and Grandpa Norris to the SDSU football game, which meant I could hang out at home or find something fun to do. So I called my sister and told her I was coming over with some pumpkins for the kids to decorate. I bought little pumpkins from the dollar store and some stickers of superheros for them to decorate with (my nieces are really into Spiderman right now). We did their initials with buttons and let them go at it with stickers. These are the ends results.

To The Zoo We Will Go

Since I get off work early on Fridays we decided to take a little trip to the San Diego Zoo. Avery loves all the animals, but it took her awhile to get used to the Petting Zoo. Here's a few pics from our little adventure.

I love this little girl, how could you not, look at her!

 I love her reflection in the window.

 I loved these shoes and I couldn't resist.. Adorable right?

Pictures of the Grandkids

So my mom has been wanting new pics of her Grandkids for awhile now and since my sister is in town from Arizona, we did FHE and pics at the Aiono's house. Lets just say that trying to take a picture with 9 children under the age of 4 is CRAZY!! We got some good ones and I must say, my parents have some beautiful and very handsome grandkids!
