Race for the Cure

Sharon (my sister-in-law) and I ran in the Race for the Cure today in Chattanooga. Shawn, Jeff (Sharon's husband) and Avery came to support us! It was a fun, but tiring day. Two o'clock is hot!! I did finish, it took me 27:30 to do it. That placed me at 1,634th place. Just kidding...I have no idea.

The Many Ways to Wear a Backpack

Avery's recently gotten into Dora the Explorer..."backpack, backpack" as most of you know. She loves to fill her backpack, usually with puzzle pieces, and then wear it. She never puts it on the same way twice!!BubbleShare: Share photos - Create and Share Crafts

Avery's Silly Mistake

Avery has started getting in this tin tub. Unfortunately, she can't get out. The rapid progression is rather humerous. She hasn't felt well today. She has her first real runny nose. We were outside today and she said, "bubble." I wasn't sure what she was talking about until I looked at her and saw the big snot bubble coming out of her nose. I have a feeling this could be a long night.

I heard Avery clopping through the kitchen tonight. When I found her she kept saying "shoe, shoe" and had Shawn's shoes on and carrying my cell phone. What a nut!!

Silly girl

Avery dumped her cheerios and decided she would lay down in them. When she got up she tried to push them under the rug!!



She got this new riding toy from some friends of ours in Tellico, Charlie and Sally Jenkins. She really likes it, except when she tries to stand in the seat!



Avery loves to wear her daddy's hat. She's pretty cute in it if you ask me. And have you noticed how pretty her hair is?! haha


Wow, one year old girls are busy, busy, busy!! Sorry I've not been very good at keeping posts coming. She is talking up a storm and at least attempts to mimic almost everything we say. The church nursery ladies told us she was a "climber, and always on the go." I guess that's a nice way to say, "We can't contain your child!!"
