Avery's swim lessons

Avery started swim lessons last week. It amazes me how well she is doing in only a week. She gets more and more comfortable in the water after each lesson.

Bear Lake

A couple weekends ago we went to Bear Lake with our good friends the Gold's. We had a blast. The girls loved playing at the beach and swimming in the lake. Avery was just a little worried about the fishies sucking on her toes :) Madison (our cautious child) rode on the tube behind the wave runner! I could not belive when she said she wanted to go. Avery wouldn't have anything to do with it. We loved it up there. It is so beautiful! We are lucky because we get to go again this weekend. This time Adam will be in town to go with us. Thanks Brooke and the Whittakers!

Westover Family Reunion

This year was the first Westover family reunion! We went to the cabin for two days and had a blast. We went fishing, shot guns, played horse shoes, made crafts, ate, fished, ate again, fished again, and had fun. It was so fun for all the cousins to play together. Madison and Avery are remembering their cousins and the fun times they have. I wish we could all live in the same place. Maybe someday.

Avery's Birthday Cake

Avery is 3!

Yes, that is right, my baby is 3. I am sad about it really. These 3 years have gone by so fast! Avery has got to be the most darling little thing ever. She has such a fun personality and sweet spirit about her. But, she knows what she wants and is very head strong. This year we celebrated her birthday many times. With my grandparents, up at the cabin with G & G Westover, and at our house with lots of friends and family. We were lucky this year because Adam's sister Johanna and her family were in town. Avery is very much into princess right now, so she got a new princess bike, lots of swim toys and swim suits and clothes.

Avery is 3!
