Great-Grandma Downs

Since moving away from Idaho, we haven't been able to spend as much time with Amanda's grandmas. This last week Amanda was able to take her Grandma Downs (Avery & Lily's Great-Grandma) down to a funeral. It was really good for the kids to get to know one of their Great-Grandmas.
Avery stuck to Great-Grandma like glue all day. He wanted to open the doors for her, help her "push" her walker, and help with anything he could. When we were at the luncheon he was so patient and waited for her in the food line (while Amanda and Lily sat down). He was such a sweetheart.

Here is Avery and Lily with their cousins Aiden and Kyler. They are just four of the 11 (with 2 more on the way) Great-Grandkids.

Growing Up!

Lily's new adventure: climbing on top of the bathroom counter and the table...

After a b-day party at a firestation:

Ave: "Mom can you become a fireman dad?"

Mom: "No, I can only be a mom."

Ave: "Can you be a fireman mom? & Daddy can be a fireman dad!"

So we took Avery skiing for the 2nd time and the snow was melting pretty fast. It was really slushy and watery in some spots, but Ave looked on the bright side: "Hey I'm water skiing!"

03-2012: Lily's favorite thing to do lately is wave/say goodbye. Especially whenever someone is in a vehicle. She waves to everyone on our walks whether we know them or not.

The other day Avery asked me (mom), "Can I have a baby brother?"(no we are not pregnant). I told him someday perhaps. A little while later however he changed his mind, "I don't want a baby brother, I want a brother kid." (meaning he wants a brother who is his age.

Avery has really gotten into the whole "pretend play." Today he told me (mom) that he was "Woody," Lily was "Buzz" and I was "Scratchy." If we want to talk to him, we have to refer to him as "Woody."

We have another child- Elmo. Avery has decided that Elmo is real and carries his life-size Elmo around the house. We clothe him, feed him, and take him in the car. It really is like having a 3rd kid.
