5 Generations

While we were camping we drove into a little town about 20 minutes from were we camping to have a 5 generation picture taken. This is Brett's Great Grandma, Applegranny, his Grandma, his Mom and him and Avery of course. Applegranny was excited to meet Avery and Trevor (Ryan's little boy).

This is everyone that was there.

The tramway

We all rode up the tramway to the top of the mountain and went on a few little hikes. It was a fun afternoon. I think that this place is so pretty. Getting ready to go up
Travis and Michelle rode with us

There were millions of chipmunks and Brett was making friends with them. There is one on his ankle.

Avery liked the hiking, I would have too if someone was carrying me. Just kidding. I liked it. She did get kind of heavy though. Avery was pointing at every thing and smiling. She loves being outside.

Playing on the Lake

One day while we were at Wallowa Brett's dad rented a boat for us so that we could go play out on one of the floating docks out in the lake. Thanks Dad! We had a really fun time jumping in to lake and swimming around. I know there are a million pictures for this post but I took too many and couldn't just pick a few. It is such a pretty lake, but it was pretty cold. I think they said that it was like 67 degrees. Avery had tons of fun she loved crawling around the dock and she got in with me but only lasted about 20 seconds before she decided it was too cold. Brett dipped her in a few times and she loved it. She layed her head back and just laughed. It was so cute. Travis, Michelle, me, and Brett.
What a cute little girl



Ryan, Rachelle, and Travis all swam from the dock to the side of the lake. Brett started swimming over there too, but they started coming back so Brett turned around and came back too. Brett is the one that is closest in the picture.

Woo Woo Hottie Michelle :)
Brett's dad had a little bit of trouble getting back up on the dock








Avery thought that this was so much fun


Although it may look like she is crying in this picture she is actually laughing


My favorite picture ever! Avery points at everything now and it is so dang cute.

Feeling Grateful

I love this boy... and this laugh...





I am so grateful for these two people. They make me so happy. Brett is such a good man and I love him so much. I am so grateful that I get to be with him forever. I am so grateful for all that he does for Avery and me. He is such a good husband and Dad! I am so grateful for my little girl too. Children are so wonderful, and it amazes me how I can get so frusterated with her sometimes and she still loves me and thinks that I am the best. I am so glad that I have her. She always makes me smile and when I hear that little laugh it always puts me in a better mood. I love being a mom and wife. It's the best. I am so grateful for so many things that I have, but I am most grateful for family and the knowledge that I have that I will be able to be with them forever. I am so grateful for our Savior and the plan that he has for us. I know that he lives and I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life.

Standin and Walkin

Here are some pictures or Avery standing all by herself. We also got her this toy so that she can walk with it. Here is a video of her walking too, but she can't quite do that all by herself yet, but soon enough she will be. Avery did take one step by herself without holding on to anything the other night when she was trying to get from a chair she was standing up by to Brett. We were both pretty shocked. She is growing so fast!

I Scream for Ice Cream

My little girl is getting so BIG! Avery is so fun. We love her so much and all the joy she brings into our lives. Avery is now standing all by her self she doesn't even need something to pull herself up anymore she just stands up all on her own... when she wants to of course... not when I want her to so that I can show someone. She is going to be running in no time. She crawls fast enough already, but it is so fun to see her grow. Don't you love her shirt. I thought that it fit her perfectly becasue she LOVES to scream ALL THE TIME and she LOVES ice cream (don't eat it in front of her unless you plan on sharing).

Uncle Travis and Avery. I think she thinks he's a pretty fun guy!

Near Death Experience

Sorry these pictures are so small but Brett took them on his phone and I tried to make them bigger and it just made them way blurry. Well Brett's little brother Travis and his friend Connor came to Rexburg this weekend and they all went golfing Saturday morning. They were getting ready to tee of the 6th hole when they saw a plane coming toward them from the nearby airport and heard someone yell "RUN". So they all three started booking it. Luckily no one got hurt. I guess some people were working on this plane becasue it hadn't been running. No one was in the plane but two guys were trying to get it to start by doing something outside the plane and it started and just took off on them. I didn't believe it when Brett called me and told me that he almost got hit by a plane while golfing but sure enough they would have it they hadn't started running away.


Haircut

I was getting so sick of my hair! I never wore it down anymore because it just annoyed me, so I always just threw it up in a ponytail and today I decided it was time to get it cut. This picture isn't the best but I really like it!

TweNtY TwO

I had my 22nd birthday on Friday. It was such a great day! I didn't have to work and neither did Brett. So all three of us went down to Idaho Falls and to get the gift that Brett was buying for me. He got me this new coffee table for our apartment! I love it! Thank you hun you are so sweet! Then we walked around the mall for a little while and then went home and I got to just spend sometime with my two favorite people at home. That night we went to our ward party where they served steak for dinner, and I got to feed Brett ice cream while we were both blinfolded, that was funny :) Later when we got home my friends Celeste and Blake came over and surprised me with a cake and we all watched the new Fast and Furious together. It was such a fun day. Thank you everyone for all the calls and cards.
