Indiana/Tennessee Trip

Robbie Me, Michael and Kent all went golfing tuesday morning which was a lot of fun, all of us like to play best ball and it was just a good time playing some golf and catching some rays wow was that a hotttttt day!! But it was definitely a fun trip and we have the pictures to remember:)

Sunday when we got back to Robbie's parents house we had a 1st birthday party for Avery it was nice to see everyone again and meet some new faces too!! We had a tigger cake made for her but she just didnt want anything to do with shoving all that yummy cake in her mouth she wanted to be fed with a spoon!!! It was still a lot of fun!!

It was fun to just check out Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Severville there all really close to eachother, Gatlinburg definitely reminded me of Wyoming it was very pretty there. 

While Robbie had some time off from work we went back to his hometown for a week visit didn't spend a whole lot of time in Indiana/Kentucky we went to Gatlinburg, TN from Thursday-Sunday which was a lot of fun, we stayed in a cabin and it was definitely an adventure but what trip isn't fun without adventures!!! We ended up going to a baseball game its the double A team for the Cubies which happens to be Robbie's favorite team, and Ryan Sandberg is the teams head coach which he played for the cubies awhile ago. SO that was really exciting for Robbie to get his Ryan Sandberg jersey autograph now we have to go get a jersey case for it so we can hang it up!! After the Game they had an amazing fireworks display which was incredible way better than 4th of july fireworks in casper!! LOL. 

It was fun to just check out Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Severville there all really close to eachother, Gatlinburg definitely reminded me of Wyoming it was very pretty there. 

        We also spent sometime with The Monohan grandparents and the Banet Grandparents on monday and tuesday respectively it was nice to sit down with them and visit for awhile. While at the Banet's Robbie's sister and husband and kiddos brought their lil ducks which were soo cute i chased them around and held them and they were ohhh soo soft now i want a lil ducky LOL:)

Avery's First haircut

Today we went to go get Avery's first haircut, she definitely needed it because her hair was coming down over her ears and just needed a lil TLC to it. We went to Cool cuts for kids and dang was that an expensive lil haircut, $16.95 for a lil trim don't think we are going to go there until she really needs a haircut!! Avery did very well and sat there and put the steering wheel of the lil car she was in because it felt good on her lil teeth!!

HOME!!

                                             Avery and I at the airport waiting for Robbie

Finally Robbie made it home safe and sound on May 11th 2009 at 1:00PM it was definitely nice for me and avery to see him~ I was surprised at how fast his deployment went by but somedays and weeks did drag on which was hard. It was nice to be able to give him a hug and kiss again and to see him in person rather than on webcam which would work when it wanted to because of the internet connection overseas. Avery was a lil hesitant at first when I tried to give her to Robbie but as the night progressed she definitely opened up to him and went to him which was really nice to see. He missed so many new things that she did and said in the past 4 months that i want them to get that bond back to how it was before he left. Its really nice just hanging out at home playing with avery and having our alone time when she goes to bed!

Miss Avery the pistol

After the airshow avery and i got home and were relaxing and hanging out i got online to check a few things and she had all her toys on the floor with her. After a few minutes i realized that she was being awfully quiet so i looked under the table and low and behold there was miss avery with her can of formula poured out and she was eating it yes eating it! YUCKY She got the formula out of her diaper bag and was playing with it. She now knows how to open cans with lids on them by using her bottom teeth to open it....I watch her like a lil hawk she is always trying to get into things even though she has all her toys to play with thats just not good enough for her!!!

AirShow

Well today we went to the Airshow at the Airport and saw 2 C-130 cargo planes we even got to go up inside and check things out that was pretty kewl! The weather was very yucky today we had rain and fog and it was cold it looks like the clouds might break up so me and avery and a friend of mine and her kiddos might go back and watch the acrobatic airplanes which would be pretty kewl to see!! i did take lots of pictures of the different armed forces planes which i will be posting shortly!!! All in all it was a pretty "cool" day to go out and check out these planes but i still had fun doing it!!!

Yucky Weather

This week has definitely gone by fast I cant believe its already thursday. We haven't had that great of weather the past week either which has sucked, we have had 2 tornado watches which have lasted about 12 and 6 hours respectively and its just been gloomy that avery and i haven't been able to get outside and enjoy our walks. Today is the first day we have actually had sunshine but its still windy i thought that i moved away from windy wyoming but i guess not. Well since it has been gloomy I have been able to work on our house and get rid of items i don't need or want anymore for our garage sale this summer sometime. Its also been nice hanging out and playing with avery she loves to be chased she becomes one speedy crawler thats for sure!! 

    I am looking forward to this weekend we have the airshow on saturday and that should be a lot of fun!! I'll post pictures of the airshow along with a blog this weekend!!

oh yayy we have a big girl now!

While waiting patiently to get our photo's taken at Sears (April 11th 2009) mind you we had been waiting for an hour or so before we even got pictures taken but we were there a total of three hours ridiculous, Anyhow while waiting my sister was playing on the floor with Avery and she had this spinning toy and low and behold Avery grace got up on her knees and hands and crawled to that toy a lil rough at it at first almost fell a few times but she made it!! Now all she does is crawl everywhere thank god i baby proofed our house before i left except she wants the TV receiver she loves going up and turning the volume up really REALLY LOUD!!! Avery is also pulling herself up on the coffee table the couch climbing all over me while i play on the floor with her i just cant believe how big she is getting and what a lil person she is becoming it makes me sad that she is almost 1 wow where did all the time go??
