It's been a while... and it's not because I have nothing to blog about, it may be because I have too much to blog about and not enough time to blog it all.  Blogging is not my favorite thing to do. Actually I told Anson it would be nice to pay someone to upload my picture's, and hire a writer to find the right words to describe my life, my family! I do love to look at my friends blogs for the latest updates.  I know one day I will be glad I blogged about some of our family events.

My life... could it get any crazier? Moving, Flying, Holidays, Birthdays is about all I've been doing the last couple months. 1 fun trip to Colorado, 2 great trips to Reno, 1 fabulous trip to Kauai,  Yummy Thanksgiving, A joyous Christmas, and Avery's very happy Birthday!

* In November I went to COLORADO with my husband to shoot a beautiful wedding. We must not forget that we got to stay with our good friends from Utah, Kelly and Jeff. Who just gave birth to a darling little girl. (Kelly's sister was the beautiful bride in the wedding Anson shot.)  Kelly and I saw Twilight, umm mixed feeling... moving on.

*At the end of November my Honey, sister and brother-in-law visited the beautiful land of KAUAI. Truly paradise! Kauai will have its very own blog post, with lots of pictures, but for now I must move on past that event to what is happening currently. That way I don't feel completely overwhelmed with too much to blog about. For now check out my sisters blog, she posted some pictures.

*We also had a WONDERFUL Christmas at my parents house. A white Christmas, with lots of JOY and HAPPINESS. 

I still need to hunt down our Christmas pictures. 

*WE MOVED!!! I love my house! We are so thrilled! I will one day post pictures:)

*My sweet BABY girl had her first Birthday. That is the most recent event and that is the one I am going to post about today.  One step at a time.

LEAVENWORTH:  We decided for Avery's Birthday we would go to a great family town called Leavenworth. Which also has a small ski resort and snow tubing. It was a great day with lots of laughs and cold feet. Austin our talented little boy is learning to snowboard. He is already better than me. Truly.  Avery enjoyed the warm lodge and food, riding in a backpack with Dad and walking in the snow, what a challenge for a ONE year old. 

What a great Dad. Multi-tasking.

What a STUD, we are so impressed!

I can not believe Avery is ONE! The year went by so fast.

 WATCH OUT BOYS she is a feisty little thing, thank goodness!

*Avery loves to walk around everywhere and run when needed(away from mom.)

*She LOVES books. She will sit for a long time reading with you. She also spends a lot of time taking books off the bookshelf and looking through them.

* She ADORES her brother, and wants to do whatever he is doing.

*She loves to be center of attention, of course. 

*She loves being loud and crazy. Singing/dancing.

* She loves to eat eat eat.   

****Avery is such a joy to our family. She is a darling little girl and we all love her dearly. She is such a smart little thing, with lots of spice to her personality.    

Isn't it so great being a mom and thinking the world of our kids.

Happy B Day!

 YUMM!
