The countdown is on...Avery turns 1 on just 3 days! I can't believe it has already been a year. When people tell you that you really should enjoy and appreciate every day, and every stage because it goes fast, they aren't kidding. I have no idea where the last year went, or what happened to my little 4 lb. 12 oz. baby that entered our world a year ago?? Now she is a bubbly, walking, bundle of sunshine who can't get enough of everything around her. We are loving every second of it. We can't wait to celebrate with our friends and family on what an amazing year this has been. I'm sure there will be pics following the big day and probably a big sappy blog post by her mama~ :)

More Cousins!
My niece Auden was over last weekend and I got to take some pictures of her. She is usually a total ham in front of the camera, but was not much in the mood to have her pictures taken Saturday. She was a good sport though! This girl has the biggest, most beautiful eyes ever and these pictures truly don't even do them justice!
Cousins!
We went up to Chisago two weeks ago and got to spend some time with Cullen's cousin Julie and her family. Katie is a first grader and Jacob is 3 1/2. They have a beautiful place out in the woods so of course, we had to go out and take some pictures. Really though, I think there place would be Cullen's dream. Aren't these two kiddos too cute?!

Avery's New Hat
I found Avery a hat online a few weeks ago and it was a must have! There is website called www.etsy.com and it is awesome! There are so many adorable things on there. She was outgrowing her old hat though, and I couldn't find her another one anywhere. It was too cute so we had to take a couple pics last week one day after school.
Love the flower on the hat
Avery doesn't look quite as excited as me in this one!
Avery and her Friends!
This weekend we went out to dinner with my friends Amy and Jen that I taught with at New Prague, and their families and then came back over here and hung out. Amy and Nick have sweet little Orelia, who will 2 months old this week, and Jen and Matt have Baylee who "just had a birthday" (she kept telling us all about it) in September and turned 3, and Caden who is 6 months. We had so much fun and Avery liked playing with her friends. They also all loved Avery's new chair, and she was nice and shared! Caden wasn't so sure about the pink chair and all these girls! Also, this totally made me realize just how big Avery is getting :( She isn't the little baby anymore..crazy. (Yes, these are just snapshots, and I even have...gasp...red eyes!..it was late, dark, and we needed to catch these kids quick!)

Caden did NOT want to be in the chair!
Beautiful Fall Colors!!
You are probably getting sick of my non-Avery pics, if that is what you come here to see..which it probably is! But I just get excited about pictures..yes, I'm a dork..and Avery can only take soo many!! I'm thinking of starting a separate blog just for pictures, so you can go if you want, or just ignore me! For now..you will have to put up with it. :) Last weekend, the leaves were BEAUTIFUL!!! If you know me, you know fall is my favorite time of year. Luckily, my niece Ansley doesn't mind having her picture taken (if you can tell!!) and let me bug her and take her out around town. Combine her with the leaves, and of course you will have beautiful pictures!! Also, I wanted to check out the new blog layout. I'm going for a more simple look. Hope you like it! (Also, I still can't figure out how to get the pictures in the order I want on this mac..hmm..)
A goofy one, but it is so Ansley being Ansley!
Playing in the leaves - I LOVE this one!
Love the pics with my $9 chair from Frosted Pane..Cullen officially thinks I've lost it!

Old Posts..Again
So before I said I was going to start posting older posts so that her year would be complete in her blog book. Since I didn't have this when she was first born I have some catching up to do. I'm getting a good start, but please don't think I'm too crazy. I'm writing as if it were that day. Actually, I told Cullen last night this is the most awesome way to reflect. As soon as I start typing, it brings me right back. Luckily, I have a knack for remembering most everything!!! So you can click on 2007 on the righthand side and see them, but I will let you know when I'm all done. It is a work in progress. So much to catch up on! And oh my...she was TINY!!!!!!!!

The Family
We haven't posted a picture of the three of us in awhile. On Saturday, we went to our friend Emily's wedding. We tried to get a picture of us beforehand..this is the best we got! Avery was in her comfy clothes for her night at Nana's. We had an awesome time at the wedding. You can see some pics on our friends Angie and Jay's blog. It was a beautiful day and Emily was a stunning bride. So much fun!!!
Avery's New Chair!
Avery got a new chair for an early birthday present. She loves to relax and read in it! Well okay..mostly she loves to climb on it, but she does enjoy the occasional story! It is too cute!
Our visit to Chisago!
On Thursday, we went up to spend the day in Chisago and hang out with the family! We had tons of fun. It is so fun to watch Avery and Conner play and interact. We love this MEA break!! I also took a few pics of Cullen's cousins, but don't have them done yet. Here are a few snapshots of our visit!
Avery and Daddy telling secrets
Conner..why do you think they put this chair here?
They look so sad here..they just want to go play! The chair didn't last long!
Sippy cup break!
Grammy was reading a story, and they were LOVING it!
