Remember this picture...

Probably not:) I posted this 2 and a half years ago when we got back from Cabo. Tomorrow we are heading back for a whole week (and this time I won't be pregnant). We are going with my cousin and his wife and leaving Avery behind... I am sure she will have a blast with her 3 cousins! See you when we get back.

Two years ago today...

Our little Avery entered this world. It was a crazy entry but she has blessed our lives since the day she arrived. Avery is spunky, super funny and a bucket of love. We feel so blessed to be her parents and have loved watching her grow. Happy birthday Avery girl we love you like crazy!!

Garden of Weed'n

Lately we have spent all our free time on our new yard. Growing up with the last name Gardner you would think that I would be some what of a pro. However...I am not:( Avery on the other hand stays close to her Gardner roots by helping us with yard work every chance she gets. She is hilarious and always wants to be right in the middle of whatever we are doing. Which is usually right in the way (hahaha).We have done a lot of work and still have a long way to go. We will have to post before and after pictures when we are done (if we finish before we are 100 years old).

Pumpkin Patch Kid

Halloween time is one of my favorites!! We went to pick out our pumpkins last weekend at Murray Family farms. We took a hayride out to the patch and got to pick the pumpkins right off of the vine. It was very cool. Avery's grandma McDonald was in town to help us pick the perfect pumpkin. We had fun at the petting zoo and in the corn maze. The corn kernel pool was the best though. I think we need one for our backyard. Now time to decide what everyone will be for Halloween...

It's a jungle out there...

Ok, maybe not a jungle, but we have had some of nature's friends visiting us lately. We have had butterflies (Avery likes to call them fee-flies),

frogs and toads that live in our bushes,

and a very large tortoise (we named Leo) that I tried to catch for a pet but got out run by. I know how pathetic it sounds to get out run by a turtle but he ran into our neighbors garage before I could catch him.We are now on the hunt for Leo. If you see him tell him we miss him:)
