Siera Day Care!

Our nanny, Ginna, had jury duty this week so Avery spent the week at my friend Siera's house.  I like to call it Siera Day Care.  She already watches Jace every week (far left) and has her two kiddos Jayden & Cassidy.  Avery had an amazing week with these three!  I had one exhausted toddler every afternoon when I would go to pick her up = )

Siera is a life saver!!

Happy Mother's Day!

Avery treated me to a picnic at Elena Gallegos open spaces!!

Our little explorer

Hiking with Daddy = )

Not too bad of a view for our little picnic!

Of course cupcakes were involved...cupcakes are always involved!

Avery definitely enjoyed the icing = )

Baby Belly - 16 Weeks

Just busy growing a belly!

The Big 3-0!

Today is Mommy's birthday...the dirty thirty!!  We tried to get a couple pics to commemorate the big day = )

Remi got jealous and wanted in on the fun.

I want to be like Daddy...

Do I look more like Daddy when I wear my hat?

How about a little switcheroo...Daddy looks so handsome in my pink hat!

Just practicing with my hat for our afternoons at the park!

Ever wonder why Mommy is always putting my hair in pigtails?  This business gets a bit wild!

Mom's Having Twins

Well, you can't see b/c Avery's arms are blocking it...but Mutti bought her this outfit and embroidered 'Mom's Having Twins' on it.  Just in case the belly doesn't get the point across these days I have a billboard in my arms = )

Avery Takes On San Diego

This is how the cool kids sit in high chairs

Attempt at family photo...wait, Avery needs a sip of water

Another attempt...wait, Avery is so not interested

Lets just say - I looked through 10 attempts and this is as close as we got!

Here We Go Again! Baby Belly 15 weeks

Feeling good and already popped!  Next Dr. Appt to check up on these little cuties is Saturday, May 14th = )  And the big news - gender reveal is set!!  Be sure to check back with me on May 28th to find out ; )

Happy Easter

Love, Avery

Mommy's in Westlake Village, Daddy's in Albuquerque, and Avery's in San Diego.  Looks like we'll be celebrating Easter a week later when we can all be together = )

Missing this little girl like crazy!

Avery's New Moves

I have no idea what you would call this new dance move of Avery's...but she LOVES it!  This little girl likes to tap her feet from the moment she wakes up!  Pardon the fingers in the mouth - we're teething again = )

Daddy's Shoe

This video is pretty old but it is the only clip I have that shows how much Avery loves putting on Mommy & Daddy's shoes = )

TWIN TIME!

Baby A waving hello

Baby B - taking a little rest after bouncing all over the place

Baby A giving us a nice limb check

We actually watched Baby B kick Baby A in the head.  This picture definitely doesn't do it justice!

By the end of our ultrasound appt both babies were laying side by side in the same position.  I can't wait to meet them = )

The Many Faces of Avery

Focused!

Shocked!

Embarrassed...b/c really, did you notice the hair?

Shy = )

It is amazing to be back home and spending my days with this adorable little girl!

Papadoc's Pictures

Pics of Avery from the last time I was out of town for work = )

Nice work Papa!

Back Out To Cali

I am going to be missing these kids this next week!  I head back out to Westlake Village today for a week of SAP training and work.  This will officially be my longest time away from the little jelly bean and it just keeps getting harder and harder!  Avery has this amazing, fun personality and I just want to spend all of my time playing with her = )  We have been so blessed with family babysitters given all of the travel I have done this year for work.  Papadoc (my Dad) came out to watch her a couple weeks ago for my last trip and Grammy (Trav's Mom) arrives Sunday for the next round of Avery Time!  We couldn't have survived this year without all of the amazing help!

I had to post a new picture to help me get through the week...but hopefully we can convince Grammy to snap more this week so that the Avery pics can stay on track!

Oh yeah, and who wants to meet the Twins?!  This pic is a few weeks old but we should have some new shots of them as soon as I get back into town = )
