Holiday Fun!

We had a great time in Vegas with family! We were all spoiled rotten, and Avery couldn't get enough of her Nana and Papa.

Christmas Eve

Loves from Papa

On New Year's Eve, we went to the Strip to have a little creme brulee and watch fireworks. Even with the crowds and fireworks, Ry had a great time after some scantily dressed women "brushed" up against him :)

Fun times at home!

Hope everyone is enjoying the Fall!

Pumpkin Patch Visit

We visited our first pumpkin patch last week as a family. We followed all the signs, out into the country to find this... (see pic below). This was the pumpkin patch that was advertised in our area. We laughed and had to take a picture of the 12 pumpkins in front of a house. We soon found another patch, with only reject pumpkins left. We took a special likeness to the odd shaped pumpkins, so we got our 3 and walked away happy!

I just think she is so stinkin' cute!

Happy Birthday

MY SWEET BABY IS 1!!!

Angel Mother

There is a reason we call her Angel Mother....

* Read, played and read some more to Avery

* Sewed new pillows and curtains

* Cut my hair

* Tried wearing bright red lipstick with me

* Bought me a few fun items, in memory of "back to school" shopping

* Babysat

* Painted my toe nails

* Cleaned out my closet

* Helped decorate my house

The list can go on and on....

My wonderful mom came to visit last week and we are missing her already! Love you mama!

Ahoy Matey!

So... I saw this post on my friend's blog, where you can figure out your pirate name. Totally fun, since Ry is the king of lame pirate jokes. Click here to find out your pirate name! What is yours?

Ours are:

Ashley: Black Cagney Drayton

Ryan: Raja Remus Fletcher

Avery: Princess Sirius Diamond

4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!

We enjoyed fireworks last night with some of our friends! It was a miracle that Ryan wanted to go, since he is a party pooper when it comes to fireworks, parades, concerts, etc. Sadly, Avery is just like her dad and was only entertained for a few minutes and then wanted to move onto the next activity. (Secretly, I'm just glad she didn't cry).
