ALL CLEAR!!!

Looks like we are all clear from the medical problems lately. Crystal is still feeling really sore from the surgery and is getting tired of the constant cramping, but we got back from the Doctor this morning and he says everything is cleared out and she should begin to feel better! So we will try again for a second child, but we need to wait a few months the Dr said. Thanks to everyone for their love and support!!! We are so grateful for you all!

Rocking out on Guitar Hero III

Chris's Birthday

For Chris's birthday we had a huge BBQ. It was so fun. We had a lot of our friends come over, and had lots of yummy food and played lots of guitar hero. Avery also had a lot of fun with her friend Emily.  She just got this new slide from her aunt and uncle and loves climbing up and going down the slide.  It was quite the party.  Chris also went on a long motorcycle ride with Cam.  And was able to get new handle bars and handle grips for his bike. He is so excited to customize his Nightster. 

Spring Family Pictures

Avery loves our deck!

Today I caught avery reading on the deck. She loves playing out there and she loves to read so why not do them at the same time!

Spring Flowers

So last year I was finally was able to plant tulips! And they are so beautiful! Avery loves looking at them and every time we walk by she has to smell them. She is quite the character. She has been talking up a storm like usual but now she is learning several new words a day. The learned cold and now she tells us brrr cold when she needs a jacket. When I tell her to turn around she will spin in a circle. Some of her new words are: cold, stinky, and bite.  She is so smart. Today I was looking all over for her sandal I looked under beds, dressers, you name it. And I said to Avery where did you put your shoe, knowing that she did take it somewhere because she somehow loses things all the time. Well she walked over to her closet and grabbed her shoe out of the diaper box where she had put it. I was shocked that I had actually asked her a question and she knew what I was talking about. 

Avery and our friend Paul.
