Avery's 1st Ward Halloween Party

Avery's 1st Halloween!!! She's so sweet!

Brian and I went as Snowboarders,I've never been big on dressing

up so I thought this was pretty good. Avery kept the hat on for a few mintues, and

then she was done. That's usually how hair things go.

We love our little pumpkin pie!!!

She wasn't quite sure about all the dressed up people.

Some made her a little nervous

I just threw this picture in. This was the first time she went down

the slide. She thought it was fun even though her face doesn't show it.

Grandpa Came for A Quick Visit

It had been a little while since Avery had seen her Grandpa

so she didn't come to him right at first, but he knew how to

win her over...BLACKBERRY

He was so nice to let her call his bosses and secretaries

They had so much fun


Grandpa put it away, thinking they were finished. She crawled
over and said," Ah ha, that's where he keeps it."
Obviously she wasn't quite done.




She loves to talk on the phone and this is a
REALLY COOL PHONE

Grandpa and let her get the rings off his head,

over and over again

Avery and Trena's son Jordan

These two were so funny. They were fighting over the

wooden spoons and Jordan accidently smacked Avery in the face.
They were crawling around side by side. Avery showed
him her room (supervised of course, no boys in the room without an Adult present)
and Jordan showed Avery how to open ALL the cabinets in the kitchen. Thanks Jordan.


Jordan is my old roommate Trena's son. Avery is just two months older.

Grandmother and Grandpa Jerry Came to Visit

Cousin Melissa came to visit everyone. Avery enjoyed her knitting.

This is our four generation picture. I was really sick that night,

but was glad everyone could be together
We try to make her smile but mostly we get this!!


More frowning

She loves to play with her rings

It is so funny now that children are in the picture they command

all our attention... and we love it Ü

Grandmother had major surgery a few days after these pictures.

We are glad she is recoving well. We understand she was pretty funny while

she was heavily medicated.

Visiting Aunt Becca and Uncle Blair

Avery with Aunt Becca, our last day...sad

This is the gang minus me... I just take the pictures!
We had so many ducks by us, we think they came for Avery

Avery wasn't scared at all, she wanted to get closer


Aunt Hannah was taking good care of her

Isn't Aunt Hannah soooo cute

Avery makes some of the funniest faces

Uh oh, she ate a flower, "Who was on Avery duty when she did that?!"

What's the deal with so many pictures, I can't smile anymore.


Okay, one more!
She didn't want to touch the flower. Come to find out, that's the one she ate.

It kind of grew on her after awhile

We found these flowers called "Sexy Rexy" and we thought that

would be a cute picture...judge for yourselves.

We went to a real life tractor pull at the Spokane Fair. Surprisingly enough

Avery and her cousin Britton really liked it. However, they didn't like

us covering their ears everytime the pulls began.

Brian wanted to show us his rock climbing skills.

He was very fast, we were all impressed.Coming down after the big climb.

CATCHING EVERYONE UP ON OUR SUMMER AND FALL

Grandpa taking a nap after a long and very entertaining week of children and grandchildren

(He likes his Gaterade Ü)

Grandma was trying so hard to get Avery to smile and look

at the camera that she forgot to do it herself.

Almost there


There we go, isn't that sweet!

Brian and Avery at the Botanical Gardens in Chicago with Tami, Scott, and the kids


The three of us in Downtown Chicago, Avery and I had a great time Brian was a little stressed Ü

At Grandma and Grandpa's House just after the BIG 5K run that Brian and I ran with Grandpa, Tyler, Scott, Garrett, and Emily. We are missing Baby Jackson in this picture, he was sleeping

Here we are at Avery's first trip to Disneyland. She did so well!!! She loves to wear her sunglasses

OUR WEDDING DAY, October 8,2005

We had such a fun day!! We ended up getting left at the temple without a way to get to the luncheon. Brian's brother Spencer accidentally took the keys with him. When we called him to come he said he just began eating. He came and got us and we made it to the luncheon.

How Precious

About Us

Brian and I first met at a Stake Conference in Highland, California. My Cousin Debbie Garvin wanted me to meet the Stake President's son and I didn't want to. She ended up bringing him to me. Well it turns out I was glad she did. We dated on and off for a couple years and finally I convinced him to marry me!!! We were married in the Redlands California Temple on Octber 8th of 2005. We have been happy ever since. Our little Avery came November 28th of 2006 and she was sooo cute. She weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and was 18 3/4 inches long. She has a sweet disposition (like her dad), but definately has some of her mom's sass.
