Our Sweet Little Avery




Recently Ali and I decided that we would lower Avery's crib and put up the day bed rail to see if we could start training her in a big girl bed. (Shes a little young but we have heard other people have success when starting earlier) Anyway she has done really well. THe first 3 night's she has never gotten out of it, she does however tend to get up a little bit earlier. When she wakes up she is really happy because she can just hop out of bed and leaver her room. She usually comes out with an excited smile and finds her mom. Most of the time Ali will still be in bed around 8:30 and Avery will come straight to her with a cheerful hello. On the rare occasion that she has gotten up in the middle of the night we have always heard her and she wakes us up. Well this morning when i woke up for work I was getting out of bed and my foot stepped on a large teddy bear that was not in my room the night before, than as I walked around the bed I see another teddy large teddy bear had been dragged into the room, realizing that oh Avery must be up playing with her toys with out us noticing. I began to look around the house to see where she was at...I look in her room no Avery, I check down the hall and living room still no Avery. Now I began to think ok where did she go? I look again in my bedroom to find our little girl had actually gone on the other side of the bed (Ali's side) and plopped herself down on a large pillow next to the laundry and fallen asleep. It was so cute. She probably came in all excited dragging her bears into our room and when no one else was awake decided to lay back down herself. I feel a little bad that neither of us woke up and hopefully she wasn't too sad.

UTES 30 AIR FORCE 23




This Weekend Richard, Dan and I drove out to Denver to go see the Utes take on The Air Force Academy with Jared, Erin and little Kaitlyn. It was a great game, our Utes came out victorious with a back and forth scoring game that came down to the wire. Colorado Springs was a nice place to visit, the Air Force stadium is smaller but in a cool setting built into the hill side. Before kick off they did a fly by with one of those huge refueling jets followed by another large aircraft about to connect. It was pretty neat to have so many Utah fans out to an away game, our fan section was loud and crazy just as it should be. At the end of the game the players came over to our section and one of them threw one of the game balls into the stands almost right at us but a guy 2 rows down ended up catching it. The players hung out by our section and gave their fans a shout out of appreciation for supporting them on the road. I guess we even made it on TV at the end of the game the camera guy panned in on a fan right in front of us holding a sign that said 4 - 0 we had a few people call us right after saying they can see us on TV in the fan section. It was a great trip I think as long as Jared & Erin live out here we are going to have to make it a standard trip to come see and away game at either Air Force or Colorado State. Ali was supposed to join us in the festivities however she decided to spend some time with her sisters in park city this weekend before Penny gets married.

4 Wheeling up to Mineral Basin




Kade and I took a little ride up American Fork canyon after work a couple weeks ago. It was alot of fun. When we got there it felt like perfect weather, after riding up the past Tibble Fork Resivor for a few miles it got cold real fast. mid 40's We decided to go up to the Mineral Basin area and climb some big rocks, I only had our old camera with us and the dark of night creeped up on us pretty quick. You can't see Kade very well but he's there. THe next 2 pictures are of me, we had a great time.

Ali's 27th Birthday!





For my birthday Scott took me up to Park City for a night out on the town! I have never been to the alpine slide so we went and rode the alpine slide, and also the alpine coaster. That was alott of fun to do! Then we had to stop at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to get some yummy treats! Then we went and had dinner at Banditts on main street, and it was pretty good. It was really nice to go out on a date with my hubby! Thanks to our good friend Elisa for watching Avery we were able to spend some time together just the two of us. That doesn't happen very often so it was really nice. It was a wonderful birthday Thanks Babe!

Avery Loves Books!




Avery loves books! She will find a book and bring it to you and stand there until you read it to her. Usually you end up reading it to her 3 or 4 times. We love it!

What is that thing?

I bought avery a TMX Elmo for her birthday thinking that she would love it! Well not only does she not like it, but it scares her to death. As you can see in the pictures it makes her cry instead of laugh. I guess you can't always know what your child will like and not like.






Avery's 1st Birthday

Happy Father's Day!




My wife is absolutely amazing!! I cannot begin to tell you how much I love her, and my gorgeous little daughter Avery. Being a Father and a Husband is an honor and a privilege. I am so blessed to have them both in my life and I truly know that my life would not be complete with out them. I love you both with all my heart. Thank you for making this father's day so exciting. My morning began with a great gift, Alison had gone to the photo studio with Avery and had some beautiful pictures taken of them together. We then had a delicious breakfast with our 2 closest neighbors; Chris & Amy and the Picketts. Jerry makes great French Toast. A couple hours later we were off to church enjoying the day. After church was over I expected to hurry home so we could get things together for a BBQ at my sister's house, as i start pulling in the drive way and click the garage door opener I waive to my neighbors out in their yard and suddenly slam on the brakes! As my garage was opening I catch a glimpse of a foreign object with a big red bow on the front looking me straight in the eye. The neighbors start laughing at me because the look on my face was apparently priceless. I turn to my wife with a rather confused look and she smiles real cute and says with a grin...Happy Father's Day. To my complete surprise she went out and bought me a brand new Suzuki King Quad ATV. I was so shocked and excited I almost forgot to put the car in park before I jumped out to look at it. What an amazing gift. I am so lucky to have a wife that would do something so crazy and fun. I love you babe, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Forget baby food I want more of this stuff!


I love my new bat!!



Well if you don't know that Scott loves softball you will now! Every year for Scott's birthday he wants a new softball bat, so of course that is what he got again this year. Well I guess that this bat was extra special to him because he fell asleep holding his bat. It was pretty funny! I guess I did a good job with his gift.

I don't know how that happened?




My sister Carrie and I left the room for a second, and next think we know we hear taylor fussing, so we go back in the room, and Avery has knoked Taylor's car seat over on it's side (with taylor in it) with a look on her face of I don't know how that happened? It was pretty funny!

Where did mommy Go?




Avery loves to go to the window by our front door and look out. So I decided to go outside, and next thing you know there is Avery at the window looking for me. It was so cute!

Conference weekend in St.George



For conference weekend Penny, Derek, Scott, and I decided to go down to St. George, and we had a great time! Scott and I left Avery home with family, and headed down to do stuff you can't do with a baby. We had a blast, we hiked, played tennis, went swimming, and slept in! I must say it was nice to get away from being a mom for a weekend, and just relax! Eventhought Penny and Derek made Scott and I look we have never hiked a day in our life, and kicked our butts we had a great time, and we looked forward to more adventures with them in the future!
