July 2009

July was another crazy month. Avery's mouth never stops moving and Jake's feet never stop moving. They are quite the pair. Jake started walking the last weekend in June and by the end of July he was running. He never stops not even to sit. When bedtime rolls around he crashes out. We have completed the deck and it looks great. I will posts pic later. We are excited to welcome my new nephew Brady Cole into the family. He was born on the 26th and is quite a cutie pie. Avery has asked for her own baby, but Ryan is trying to lean her toward wanting a dog instead. She is a little mommy in training. She loves to help Jake and even shares her waffles with him. She will even break them into tiny pieces. So hard to believe Jake will be a year old very soon. Where does the time go?!


A girl needs to look her best! She has a few lessons still to learn.













Watching fireworks with Grandma. She loved them.

She is really patriotic! Well she has no choice coming from a military family.

Who is more excited?
Jake was really into the fireworks. Ever time they would go off he would say "boomboom". Check out his hand in this pic, so cute.

Walking is so awesome! He laughs and screams whenever he would walk. He thought it was hilarious. Of course he sister is standing by telling him to be careful.

My lil Gilligan

Didn't I say he crashes when he is done! All that walking wears a guy out.

I know I am biased but he is soooo cute!!

Going for a swim with Poppy. He loves the pool.

Avery on the other hand would rather play in a bucket of water. Ryan thinks she looks like she is heading to Iraq with the vest. Look out for the water bombs!

Show off! Flaunting all his teeth.

We went to the Aquarium and met up with some friends. We haven't seen them since GA and now they have 2 kids and so do we. We realized we managed to double our population in 3 years.



Avery and Alex checking out the big fish!

She loved the fish and one of them kept coming to the glass to check her out.

A very exciting day leads to a very tired Avery. 10 seconds in the car and she was out.

Jake on the other hand...not so tired.

Me and nephew Brady...but check out my ragamuffin kids in the background.

Yeah they start out cute and clean. Then they turn into walking messes.

Ahh Brady...it's a good thing your cute. I won't hold the hat against you. At least you are not a Boston fan!

PS. GO YANKEES!
