Playdate With Dalton!

What do you do when the two cutest babies are in the same hotel...playdate!!

Story time - 'And when you're this big you can jump off the bed!'

'Which toys do you want to play with?'


This one is the best to put in your mouth...

'Quick - hide this one in my onesie...maybe Dalton won't notice it missing...'

Right back at ya Jazzy Jazz - check out these goods!



Bring me my sunglasses, some Evian water, and green M&Ms - only the green ones.

This Is How Avery Does New Orleans...

Cafe du Monde

We made it through the rain to Cafe Du Monde for beignets and coffe = )



Uncle Danny & Aunt Staci

Me...always eating...
Papa Doc & Mutti with beignets in hand!

Jeremy and Travis mid-chew = )  Jeremy was one of my awesome roommates my senior year at Trinity.  He now lives in New Orleans and joined us for our adventures in the French Quarter.

Avery Visits Her Great Grandparents

We visited Great Grandpa Pat on Saturday.  This was the first time I had made it to his grave site so it was quite special to bring Travis and Avery.  My Uncle also put together some amazing slide shows of our family so we had a wonderful time reliving all of the Grandpa Pat stories = )



And Avery finally got to meet her GG!!  (Great Grandma Hazel)

We had an amazing time in Slidell full of hugs and kisses!


Its tough to get Miss Wigglebottom to smile on command - even with GG!


The Cousins Get Together

I failed to pull out the video camera for play time but at least I got some footage of our first Avery & Dalton photo shoot!  Dalton turns 1 year old on June 18th and this video was taken on Avery's 5 month birthday = )

Avery's Best Buddy

Last post for the day, I promise = )

This week it seems that Avery has discovered her best buddy Remi!  Up until now she hasn't paid much attention to him but now she loves him and watches him all day long.  Giggle-fest notice - Avery now laughs when Remi licks her feet (who wouldn't) and when he shakes his toys in front of her.  It just melts my heart to watch her fall in love with our sweet little puppy!  Her little protector obviously feels the same way = )

Memorial Day Weekend

So many fantastic plans - starting today!  Avery has her first play date with Liesl Urban this evening!!  Many pictures to come = )  Tomorrow we are off to New Orleans for some fabulous family time!  Its a Patyrak Family Reunion and Avery gets to meet her Great-Grandma Hazel for the first time...so exciting!  She also has a weekend full of playdates with her 2nd-cousin Dalton who turns 1 next month.  I can't wait to get the little ones together.  This will be the first of many adventures for these two = )  We are ready for a weekend of PoBoys, Gumbo, Beignets and all other deliciousness New Orleans has to offer!  Hopefully Avery won't spend the whole trip flashing for beads...she tends to do that often in ABQ for free ; )

Happy Birthday Great Gramma!!

And we're a day late posting but Avery wanted to share ALL of her toys with you to celebrate your birthday = )



Happy Birthday Great Gramma!!

Avery took this pretty picture just for YOU on your big day!
Happy Bday Great-Gramma = )
