Cow and Chicken....

I know I'm biased, but I think this is just wicked cute! Jon just taught her this last night and she acts like she's always known what a cow says...

Friends from Atlanta

Our friends from Atlanta came to visit Avery this weekend. Unfortunately, they didn't get the break from the Georgia heat they were expecting...it was 106 here!!! So we spent a lot of time indoors with the AC working over time. But we did manage to make it out to the falls.

Here is Jon and Avery with Al and Fran, and Melanie and Mike....


Family picture at Multnomah Falls...

Avery cooled down in her pool with Melanie and Fran...

And Mike read her a story...

Al helped Avery ride Trot...she thought this was hilarious!!

Avery

I've been forgetting to bring our camera when we've gone out lately, so again I'm posting some pictures that Sarah sent me from a BBQ a couple of weeks ago and from the Crawfish Festival this past weekend.

Here are the Horne's with Sarah and baby Rory...


Avery was very gentle with Rory...

And gave Sarah and Beau's dog Dempsey lots of hugs...

Avery devoured some corn at the Crawfish festival...

I just love this picture. Avery was so proud that she finally caught Chloe!!!

Summer fun...

We've been having a great summer. Here are some pictures from the past week or two which show Avery loving the season...

Avery loves to swim! We've had some super hot days where we just needed to get the kids in the water to cool down at playgroup, but no one had brought bathing suits...the babies were all so cute in their little matching swim diapers! Here she is testing out the water temperature in her friend Nathan's pool...

Once she was in the pool, she needed some shades! Kylie thought they looked very funny...


We also went swimming in Delaney's pool, but the water was still pretty cold, so we didn't stay in long...



Nothing says summertime like Hoola Hoops...

We spent an afternoon at the Rose Garden where we got married....



Here's the family picture taken right where we said our vows...

A local children's theater group put on a production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in the Rose Garden. It was Avery's first play, and she did really well. Of course it was also at lunch time so she was busy feeding herself as she was watching, so she was quiet until the food ran out...

Speaking of food...Avery's favorite summer food is corn!

And what summer would be complete without a baseball game? Avery had a great time cheering for her dad as he came up to bat....
