Too Much Fun!

Well as many of you know we took an adventure with the Pratts and went camping outside of Sacramento (Union Valley Reservoir) where we had 3 campsites and all kinds of family members coming up and down. The baby was a complete champ and absolutely loved being there. We tried to let her crawl around in the dirt but she didn't really like it, she preferred biting on sticks and grinding her teeth against the rocks. Every day we hung out in the lake, she hung out in her pack and play, did a lot of reading, and went on the boat once (you'll see by the picture she didn't love it:) The most exciting part of the trip was when a bear came into our camp, thankfully Avery was safe in the car but we were pretty scared! Needless to say we all survived and had a lot of fun camping, here are some photos to enjoy!


She was such a trooper! Avery loved camping...


We got attacked by a REALLY BIG BEAR...that's it's paw print


the babes with a mohawk, she was really dirty!


Family shot! It was really cold in the morning and at night, but great during the day!


This is on the boat...little avery was no the biggest fan.


Unfortunately she had this face the whole time...i think it was the life jacket


We loved being in the water together!


And she loved to be out there by herself!


The avester in her bed for the night!

Birthday Celebrations!

Our trip up north has been crazy busy but very great! We've had both Haley and Andy's birthdays, as well as a "tri-fiesta" standing for a 3 person party at Chevy's with our close family for all 3 of us. We also got to spend a whole day swimming in Lodi (too much fun) and have been very productive in getting a lot of things done that we've been putting off. Tomorrow we're going camping for a whole week with the baby...wish us luck! Here are some photos from our adventures, enjoy!

Haley's birthday was 1st (the 24th), she had a relaxing day including a 2 hour nap, took a drove up Mt. Diablo, and hung out with family. She was very excited about the clothes that she got as well as a new 24hour pass. Her only request of the day was that everyone wore pj's or comfy pants to her "party" (blowing our candles and opening presents. We had a lot of fun!


Everyone walking in with presents and the cake...


the baby was really excited!

Two days later (Saturday) we headed over to the Chevy's in San Ramon where our parents, siblings and some other family members joined us to celebrate all of our birthdays. We had a really great time and appreciate everyone being there! (sorry we didn't get pictures of everyone...)


On our way to our tri-fiesta!
