Papa Doc's Pics

I stole a bunch of pictures from the Patyrak Photographer - Papa Doc = )

Here's a nice little recap of the past couple of weeks!

Avery hanging out with her Mutti

And reading a few books with Uncle Mikey!

Keeping warm (and fed) after Bri Bri's wedding = )

Can you tell who wanted her Mommy?

All better - life is good at La Posada!

Bri & Johnson!

I love Daddy's flower!

Check out all that hair!

Enjoying a little steak = )

Avery wondering what the heck Pastor Reuben is doing pouring water on her head during the church service!

Passed out on Mutti's shoulder after her Baptism

I think Mutti enjoyed this quite a bit ; )

Avery with her Great Grandparents in Houston

Fact - Avery is their 2nd great-grand baby = )

More time with Mutti = )

Avery got to meet Mutti's Aunt Jill = )

What?  I get apple sauce while you dine at the buffet?!

I'll eat it...but I want you to note my disappointment!

Daddy, this spoon game is so silly!

Groovy Uncle Dan finally gets in a picture!!

You're a very pretty MOB and your flowers look spectacular = )  Trust me, this is my 3rd wedding this month...I know good flowers when I see them!

Art Project #1 - Chocolate Pudding

Today Avery had an art lesson with Miss Amber!

At first Avery was hesitant...

But then she realized just how fantastic pudding feels between your baby fingers!

And how fun it is to throw the pudding all over the floor...I mean her art paper...

Whistling while she paints = )

Mommy, look how much fun this is!!

And then the destruction begins...

For a child who puts everything in her mouth...it took her a while to realize this stuff all over her fingers might taste delicious in her mouth...

Chocolate pudding up the nose - priceless!

More please!

Sneak Peek!

A sneak peek at Avery's first Art Lesson = )

Many MANY more pictures to follow!

World Series - 2010 - Game 3

Travis received quite the exciting phone call last night from Avery's Papa Doc...tickets to Game 3 of the World Series!!  As my Dad always says - it isn't what you know, its who you know = )  My Dad got his hands on tickets to the World Series and invited me...Avery oh no thats right...TRAVIS to the game on Saturday!  Av and I will have fun watching for them on TV = )  Go Rangers!

Playtime in Houston!

Avery was one busy little girl this weekend!  First, we had a fantastic time spending Saturday with our Patyrak family - celebrating the much anticipated arrival of Isabela Patyrak = )

Pre-baby shower play time with Dalton = )

Avery wanted to be wherever Dalton was...

Gates are always a fun place to play!

This is what you get when you try to get a picture of three children under the age of 3!

Micah, Dalton, and Avery...looking adorable...just not looking at the camera...

So close!

Wow Auntie Shae Shae - you clean up real nice!

Then we spent Sunday with the Alsup side of our family celebrating the marriage of Melissa (my cousin) and Brent!

What is this delicious beverage you are holding Cousin Austin?

Avery got ahold of Austin's beer and would not let go...we're a bit concerned = )

The Bride & Groom making their grand entrance!

Absolutely beautiful!

Avery decided to get in a quick little rest on Madison's shoulder...

And it was well past nap time when I finally got the camera out for photo ops!

Avery with Alexis, Austin, Mimi, and Taylor

Avery with Rochelle & David

And what does Avery do when given the chance to have her picture taken with a beautiful bride...

Cries b/c we won't let her pull on Melissa's earrings = )

And that's when we knew it was time to head out to Hobby and fly back to ABQ ; )

My James Avery Locket

Auntie Shae Shae sent me a present for my Baptism!

The wrapping was so much fun!

I tried to hide the present from my Mommy...

Inside was a beautiful (and tasty) locket!

Thank you so much Auntie Shae Shae!
