Avery turned TWO!!

Little miss Avery Eve had a birthday! She turned two on Friday, the 21st. Hard to believe sometimes how fast they grow up. We had a mini party for her with just our little family Friday night. We bought some little cupcakes and had a feast!

On Saturday we invited my family; mom and dad, Adam, Genn and Colton, April and Josh(except Josh had to work...we missed you Josh!) and Randy. Ryan's aunt and uncle, Wendy and Jerry came. And our adopted son :), Dan, who is in Ryan's PA class came over too. We had pizza, veggies, cake, and icecream.

I made a white rainbow chip earth worm and mint chocolate chip caterpillar cake. Avery was so excited when she saw the finished cakes. But before the cakes were done the girls got to lick the beaters and here is the aftermath of that...

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Total Cuteness!

Avery got some fun presents from everyone, a play dough set from Genn, Adam and Cole. A horse you can ride from grandma and grandpa Newman. Wendy made Avery a little bag that she can carry around all her books or babies supplies. April and Josh got the girls dinosaur hats and a baby doll. And Ryan and I got Avery some puzzles, a doctor set, and stroller/carseat for her babies. She seemed pretty tickled by it all and kept saying, "Wow"! everytime she opened a present. Thanks family for coming to celebrate Avery's birthday with us.
(These picture of the girls riding the horse was actually taken on August 9th the day they met their baby sister, Emily.)

Yeehaw!!!
This is our hillarious TWO year old. Trying to get dressed like big sister Madi...She took off her pajamas and diaper and this is how I found her... putting on her shirt?
Haha! Almost Avery! :)
-Some fun facts about Avery-

She is always making us laugh. She pulls these faces out of the blue that total surprise us and makes us all laugh so hard. She is talking so much and repeats almost everything we say, which is so cute! Since she copies what we say all the time, I try and say big words like Constitution, medicine, United Sates of America, Boise State Football... and she then repeats everything back. Everytime her and Madi are seperated for more than an hour, either in church or nap time as soon as Avery spots Madi she runs and gives her a hug. They are such good friends and play so well together. Another one of Avery's passions is eating. She loves to eat and is always asking for a "nack pease, mommy". This girl could eat all day long, I tell ya! But of course she burns it off as quickly as she swallows it, making her therefore STILL hungry. haha. She likes to say the prayers and read books. She likes the show Calliou, but I think that's just because her big sister Madi does so much. She loves to scream out letters of the alpahbet when she sees words somewhere (even though they are not always the right letters! ;) She is just a fun happy kid and we love having her in our family!


Happy Birthday Avery!
