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...)

Lastly (but not least) was Andy's birthday, we joined family members for lunch, celebrated meg at her shower, and had a very low key dinner back at the pratt's with birthday cake.

New Video

Hey gang,

Here is a new video of some things Avery is doing.... there will be a couple of these since we have WAY too much footage to put into one video! Enjoy!

Mom's Wedding

Oregon, as expected, was a whirlwind of a good time. Pretty much the second we arrived in Oregon the festivities began and didn't stop until literally hitting the airport on Monday (and boy are we pooped!) But we both agree, it was a great trip. Avery was able to meet and play with her new cousins and they loved eachother! Maia is one of Roger's Grandchildren who is two weeks older than Avery and the two of them loved playing together (not to mention giving lessons to one another, Avery taught Maia how to eat cheerios and more importantly, Maia taught Avery how to crawl, for real!) Avery's first moments of crawling on all fours will forever go down in history on her Grammy and Grandpa Rog's wedding day. Here are some glimpses of our trip, as we mentioned, it was a fantastic time. Oh, and we couldn't be more happy for the newlyweds!

We took over the whole nail salon, it was a great time.
