Excuses

I know, I know, we have been very bad about posting new pictures.  I think I must be one of the worst bloggers out there.  But I do have a few excuses.  First, I'm one of the worst bloggers out there.  Second, I'm pregnant and sick and tired.  Third, Brian has been really busy sending Dental School Applications out and we have literally just been taking care of our basic needs.  Between work and his calling as Elders Quorum Pres. and me in Young Women and taking care of Avery we really haven't had much free time, although we are looking forward to what FREE TIME Might look like!!! Oh, by the way, we are having a BOY!  We are very excited.  We are trying to explain to Avery that she is going to have a little brother.  I'm sure by the time he comes she will understand what that means but right now she doesn't seem to care. All in good time.

OAK GLEN

We went to Oak Glen last weekend to get away from the heat and be in a prettier environment.  Avery got to see animals and we bought some apples picked from the orchards in Oak Glen. I'm planning on making an Apple pie with them.  I'll show a picture if it looks good but forget it if it doesn't.  I still have not perfected crust and I fear it will be a good many years before I do.  

Here are Brian and Avery standing next to a rather large tree, these aren't really common around here.

Avery had her own sunglasses but she kept wanting mine and would keep them on longer

 so I let her wear them. (not that she would have given them back)

I seem to be wearing this outfit a lot when we take photos, so I just want you all to know that I do not wear this every day, I do have other clothes.

This was taken at Mountain Top Days held in Running Springs. Brian took Avery around in the helicopter and she did not want to get out.  Now when ever she sees a helicopter or hears one she stops and says "helicop" its really cute. 

She was just making silly faces but I had a hard time catching any of them. 

SAN DIEGO ZOO TRIP

Dana and Jared came down to visit with little Dylan and Ava, we met them down in San Diego to spend the day. We had a fun time at the zoo when the animals weren't hiding or asleep (although, I didn't blame them). Avery had a fun time getting to know Ava and we didn't even hear from Dylan alllllll day, he is by far the quietest baby I have ever seen.

We are sad that they have just moved to Minnesota. We are hoping to be accepted to a Dental School that is relatively close.

Avery thought the Giraffes were pretty fun.

Our little family

Ava does a much better job posing for the camera, there were a couple of times that Avery seemed to follow her lead but obviously not this time.

This is back at their hotel, all we had to do was walk out the back doors and we

were right on Mission Bay.

They went exploring down at the Bay and found a crab,

the girls were excited to check it out.

Aren't they cute!

This was outside the petting zoo. It was hard to get them to smile or look at the same time. This was the best we could do.
