birthdays,countryfest and a fish fry

This past weekend all the kids came home and we celebrated Aaron and Avery's birthdays. Aaron was 26 on the 8th and Avery will be 4 on the 11th. We celebrated with a fish fry Saturday evening. Earlier that day, we went to Countryfest and visited my dad and Norma. It was Maitland's first visit to seem them. It was a wonderful weekend!


our longtime friend and neighbor wrote her first childrens book, which I had purchased for Avery and Maitland. We stopped by the Authorfest on Saturday so Katie could autograph the book for them.

Avery enjoyed a pony ride at Countryfest

when Avery finished the pony ride, she was surprised by her best friend,Taylor. They spent some time together at Countryfest

It's party time!!

I bet you are all wondering why it has taken me so long to get Avery's birthday pictures posted! LOL Well I left my camera at Shaun and Ashley's and Shaun's mother was kind enough to let me take some of her pictures from facebook. Thanks Debra!!

What a fun, fun weekend it was! Avery really got into the "birthday" thing this year! Saturday evening Shaun and Ashley had Mike and I and Shaun's parents over for dinner and we let Avery open her gifts from all of us. I'm not sure who had the most fun- Avery or the grandparents! LOL

On Sunday, she had a party with all her friends at the Dance Studio where she took her tumbling lessons this past summer. They had all kinds of fun things for the children to do. (I say children, Avery's Great Aunt Annette got in on the action also! LOL) Everyone had a wonderful time! It's hard to believe that our little sweetpea is 3 years old!

Avery's 2nd birthday

Avery's 2nd birthday was a lot of fun! Her mommy started the day off serving her favorite breakfast to her...pancakes with candles, served on her minnie mouse plate. Avery loved it! She had lots of family and friends there to celebrate her special day. We all got a lot of enjoyment watching her play with her little schoolmate Taylor. They had so much fun together! Their mommys were best friends in high school and looks like their girls are going to be too. Here are some pictures of her birthday...

Ashley did such a great job on her cake!

Avery even had a Minnie Mouse dress
