Washington for the Break

We finished our Winter semester of school at BYU-I and then took off to Washington for the week break before Brett started school again. I am done with all of my classes here... now just student teaching is left. I am pretty nervous for that and hoping that the summer goes by real slow and then the fall flies by. In December I will be a college grad! :) Anyways on to our spring break trip... we drove over to Washington and we had a good time playing out in the warm weather. It was really nice there compared to how it had been in Rexburg. Avery had a ton of fun playing with Peyton, Brett's cousin, everyday while we were there. Here are just a few fun pictures I took of them playing together.



Avery loved getting to play outside everyday!
We went down by the river and feed the ducks one day and now Avery loves to say "quack quack." I think right now it is her favorite animal sound. She liked them until one very big goose came way to close then she just wanted me to hold her and kept saying "scary" for a few minutes until she got brave enough again to throw bread to them.


One reason we went to Washington was so that Brett could help his Dad put a sprinkler system in their yard. Brett has been working with a landscaping company so he is pretty good with that stuff. What was he thinking wanting to go help work on something this big during our break :) ... just kidding. He enjoyed it and enjoyed working with his Dad. They had a guy come in and trench their yard but they still had to cut through the tree roots and pull out giant boulders, and lay all the pipe and sprinklers and everything. By the time we had to go home it still wasn't all done. It is quite a big job. Hope the work is going well Mom and Dad!


Us girls got to pull out all the rocks so they didn't get pushed back in on the pipes.... we also got to just watch :)

My hunny is such a hard worker.


And here is just an Avery update. She is now the big 18 months old. We went to the doctor today and she weighs 19.15 pounds. She is pretty tiny but really tall. She is in the 2% for her weight and the 86% for her height. She is so fun and she loves to talk. She says so many words I don't think I could write them all on here because you would get bored of reading them. But on thing she loves to say is "stop it" which I taught her how to say... but not on purpose. She is learning so much everyday and she is always so busy and full of energy. I wish I had as much energy as she does. She is so fun. We love her.
