Fun Sliding

Avery loves her new slide. Thank you Aunt Sara! She didn't want to go to bed last night and she didn't want to eat her breakfast this morning...only slide.

Video of Avery going down her new slide (she did this for about 30 minutes before we dragged her to bed)

Finally some snow in Boulder

Trying out the new snowboots!
First snowfall in Boulder. Someone was happy.

Happy Thanksgiving! This is the only photo we managed to take. Guess we were too busy cooking or too much wine was consumed. :)

Exploring and still Unpacking...

We are still living out of a few boxes but are pretty much unpacked. Avery and I have been taking lots of walks around the new place. We've enjoyed the last few days of unseasonably warm weather but today it dropped significantly. Still waiting for snow!
Avery loves reading and she's not chewing books anymore. Yay! Here she is enjoying one of her favs "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?"
Avery loves dressing up in this outfit brought back by Uncle Geoff from one of his exotic travels. (Geoff, she really wears it ALOT. I think she's going to be a girly girl because she seems to be into dressing up lately.)

This is what happens about 2 seconds after I put a barrett in her hair. She yanks it out immediately...Grrr...
All she needs here is a fishing pole.

Avery and I exploring the area around our new place.
On the hike back to the car. Avery couldn't stop touching Daddy's beard. What is this on your face??
Dancing on the picnic table.
This is at the top of Flagstaff Mtn last Sunday. This picture captures Avery and Duncan's relationship perfectly. Always trying to get away from eachother. They really are brother and sister!! (I have seen Avery give D some love when she doesn't know I'm watching)

You would never guess it but this is at the Butterfly Pavilion. Avery had zero interest in the butterflies. All she wanted to do was jump around in the puddles and touch the drains. I think it will be a couple years before we head back there.

Rockin the Leisure Suits




In this pic, Avery is saying "Wait mom, I need to finish my cracker."




Grandma B would be so proud! (Do you see the resemblance?)

Playing around...

I love this shot. Duncan had just given Avery a kiss.
Hiking around on Sunday.
ACB in the bag! Avery LOVES being carried around in this tote. Thank you Uncle Eddie, Aunt Suzy and cousin Frankie. (you guys should put Frankie in his and see if he likes it)

Avery has a shoe fetish already at 15 months. Seriously, we can't leave any shoes out otherwise she wants to wear all of them. Some of you remember the flip flop rule...well it's now for all shoes! (Do you like her legwarmers? Those are dads smartwool socks.)

Happy Halloween!

Spending Halloween night at Evan's...aren't they cute??
Happy Halloween!
On Pearl Street for the Munchkin Parade...Holding a Peacock is not easy! And no, Avery didn't eat the kitkat...that was for mom. :)

On the Move...


Avery decided to help pack up her room. Well, it was more like "unpack". She loves taking things out of drawers, cupboards, etc. but is not into putting things away. And if you're wondering, it was not cold in the house. She just loves wearing hats!

10.18 Weekend (Part 1)

It looks like Avery's brushing but she's really eating the toothpaste.


Playtime with daddy. We were supposed to be packing but decided it was to nice outside.



This is the one!



Rare moment sitting still in moms lap.


"Pumpkin Love" as Aunt Trish would say...





Taking a short break..picking out a pumpkin is hard work!



Hmmm.....which one?





Admiring the farm animals at the petting zoo





Cruisin through the hay bale maze
