A Big Kid Now!

Avery turned 3 years old on Tuesday!  It was such a fun day.  We woke up early (about 7:30 which is actually pretty late for Avery) and did the traditional look for your presents.  Well what did Avery find in the laundry room?  A big kid bike!   We really had no clue what to get him for his birthday, but he has been talking about riding a big kid bike since he rode on his cousins a few weeks ago.  So we got him a bike, and boy does he love it!  He rode it all morning and then wanted to ride it at night too!

  It was Avery's Grandpa Downs birthday on Tuesday too!  And his cousin Kylers five days earlier.  We decided to all go down to the Aquarium in Sandy.  It was so much fun!  We got to touch a manta-ray and see penguins get fed.  Fish are amazing!  We went to Chuckie Cheese for dinner and all Avery wanted to do was ride the truck ride.

 

  Then we came back to our house for cake & ice cream.  Guess what kind of cake?  He has been talking about this for 2 months now:

A "Pink Tiger Cake."   Where he got that idea we have no idea, but that is what he wanted, so we made it for him.  Its a little girly but he loved it all the same.  (he really likes pink lately, but trust us, he is ALL boy in every other way).
 We can't believe Ave is so big!  He seems so much older already- he is growing up too fast!   We sure do love him though!

Summer of '11'

Here are a few of the things we did over the summer.  (Some of the stuff is repeats and it may be hard to read, but if you click on the picture it will make it bigger)

Just Some Fun Pictures!

Just thought we would post a few pictures...

Little Musicians

What's more fun than a bunch of pots, bowls and kitchen utensils used for playing some sweet music.  Lily was joining in on the fun until she discovered the "drumsticks" tasted better than they sounded.  Its always so much to play with your imagination!
