John and Mellanie + 3

~Tube Float~

John and I took our 3 children (Avarey, Auntie Manda, and Aunt Jenny) out to Parker for Tube Float! John grew up in Parker so...little Miss Avarey got to visit her Grandpa and Grandma Harris while we were out there. All three of our "children" had never been out to Parker so it was quite an adventure!!

~ FRIDAY NIGHT~

WE got to Parker around 10pm. Of course Av's had to wake up and visit with Grandma and Grandpa for a little. The little munchkin was exhausted though and after a 20 min. visit she fell right back to sleep! After Avarey was sound asleep...and I mean snoring, I packed up my other two "children" and headed out to Roadrunner! It was so great seeing all our river friends we haven't seen since...before I was pregnant! Of course I had to buy Jen a Roadrapper...(she was doing body shot's with Trav and Kyrstal by the end of the night)!! I'm such a great friend! John picked us up around 1:30 and we headed home with a quick pit stop for food! My predictable baby was still sound asleep and slept through the whole night!

~SATURDAY~

John and I woke everyone up around 9 and headed up river to meet up with everyone and get on the boat! WE heart Leroy and Danelle for always making room for us whenever were out there! The first picture is just a little taste of the gazillion tube floaters that were out this year! It was a fun day...we got off the boat around 7 and headed straight to John's parents to see the baby! Until that day I had not been away from Av for that long...I missed her like crazy!

~SUNDAY~

Sunday we took Av's to Roadrunner to have breakfast! It was such a beautiful morning and I got some great pic's of her and her daddy on the dock!

John was having a little moment overlooking the river with his little girl! It was super cute!

It turned out to be such a great weekend! Thanks to Auntie Manda and Aunt Jenny for coming out to Parker with us! WE can't wait till the next trip!

Chunky Monkey

Av's first taste at FOOOOOD! She very much enjoyed Rice cereal...or it might be that she just loved putting that spoon in her mouth!

Food was everywhere, but that's what bath time is for ...right!?!

Her daddy and I can't wait to start her on veggies...probably another two weeks!

D-Day

THE DREADED DOCTOR This Morning little Miss Avarey Jordan had a doctor's Apt. I'm not gonna lie...I was a nervous wreck! Her last appointment left both of us in tears.
I hate immunizations.
I hate seeing her cry.
I dread Doctor days. Though I do really like her pediatrician!

So anyways, The first part of the appointment went great! My little Honey Bunny is a chunker!
~She Weighs...

14lbs and 10.9 oz~ 90 percentile for her age which is about 15 weeks!

~She's also...

24 inches long~50 percentile for her age!

Av's enjoyed the first half, she was all smiles for her doctor and her mama, until...
The Nurse came in with her basket of shots! Yes I said that right. She had a basket of shots...I think my face went a little white. Av's had to get three shots and an oral medication. The oral part went fine, Avarey Jordan will put anything in her mouth...little chunker. Than the nurse went to town on my poor little Av's legs. Two shot's in one and One in the other. Tears flowed from her Big Blue eye's and a loud scream/cry came out of her precious mouth. I held it together. I had to be brave for Av....but let me tell you I wanted to cry right along with her!

Av's right after her shot's...poor thing turned bright RED!

and we have to do it all again in two months!

Sandy Feet

Avarey in Auntie Manda's Hat...too cute!

So the pictures are a little out of order...but enjoy! This picture was actually taken at the end of a long day at the beach! Amanda waiting by the stroller!

Look at that tummy...and yes I know, she is freaking adorable!

This is the full body shot! I wish I would have taken a picture of her in the pool, next time! She wasn't too sure about the water. It didn't help that Tyson, was barking away in her ear!

~ Memorial Weekend 2009~

John drove out to Oceanside Harbor to meet up with Vince. After they did a little surfing Av, Auntie Manda and I decided to meet him out there and have lunch at Joe's Crab Shack! WE also did a little walk along the beach. Here are a few pictures we took along the way!!!

~ Family Portrait~

My beautiful baby!

So usually sandy feet are a little annoying...but not to Avarey! She totally dug the sand!

Mommy and Daddy!

Mommy and Avarey...putting our feet in the water! No cries, Av loved it!

Yes, I know this is cheesy...but I don't care! I love it! and those are her little feet below her name.
What a weekend!

Erica and Kyle's wedding

John and I left Avarey with my parents and attended Erica and Kyle's wedding on Sunday May 17th, and it was an amazing Day!

I got to spend the day with Lauren, one of my good friends from College! It was great to catch up, I didn't realize how much I missed her!

Misa was all dressed up...I have never seen this girl in a dress! She looked beautiful!

John and the bride...Oh Erica looked so Beautiful...she was definitely a blushing bride!

The first dance! I couldn't be happier that one of my favorite people in the world married such a great man! I love them both and wish nothing but the best for them!!!

Tiffany and Little John!

The Maid of Honor and The Best Man!

Good times!

My First Mother's Day

Was Amazing!!!
John got up with Avarey and let me sleep in! He gave her a bath and got her all dressed before I woke up. My sister made me breakfast and I got two beautiful necklaces, one from Av and John and one from my Parents! Of course my favorite gift was the precious card Avarey picked out for me ;-) It made me cry! Overall it was an amazing day with all the people I love most!
