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!

Softball Tournament

Here is our team. Pretty much everyone from our Wednesday night coed league with the exception of Alison. She usually plays with us but she had her hands full watching Avery and helping out with the other kids.

Avery also made a new friend with Max & Krista's little girl Evelyn

Softball Tournement

Last Saturday Scott played in a coed softball tournament out in Sandy. They played all day long and took 2nd place. Avery found a cookie watching from the side lines, need I say more.

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.
