April 2009

Thank God spring is here! The weather was all over the place this month...hot, cold, rainy. We did have some fun times. First, we got a really cool gift from cousin Lauren, Ricky, Mariah and David. It was a really big swingset. Avery loves her "wee" aka swings. However, she is still quite cautious about the slide. Jake loves it too. He has grown so big and still doesn't crawl..at least not on his knees. He decided to scoot on his butt. So I guess instead of his pants being worn out on the knees, they will be faded and worn on the butt! Secondly, we had a visitor from Colorado. PopPop Booth came in for a week and spoiled them like only a grandparent can. We also had aunts and uncles from Mass. and south jersey come in too. Avery was quite the hostess. She showed everyone her big girl bed and her new swingset.

Doesn't he take great pictures!

My little old man...he must hangout with his Poppy too much!

Ryan thinks she looks like one of those pictures of Bigfoot you see in the Enquirer. Such a loving father!

Having fun on her "wee".
I love the way her feet spread out.

Everytime she sees a camera she says"cheeseburger". It's hard to get a candid shot of her these days.

Avery shared her chocolate poptart with her brother. Hard to be mad she was sharing afterall.

Daddy and Ricky putting the swingset together under the watchful eye of their supervisor!

Just testing the structural integrity. Don't want any insurance claims afterall.

Hard to believe this time last year I just had lawn chairs. Now it looks like someone sprinkled seeds for plastic toys and they sprouted up everywhere.

Well, I guess I was the only one happy about having our family picture taken.

Being sneaky...and eating the leftover tomatoes when no one was looking. Notice Tank is helping her get rid of the evidence too.
