So Much Fun!

We have been busy having fun since the last post. We went to Stern's Farm with Tim's sister, Cheryl, and her two kids, Kassidy and Michael, and Tim's Mom and sister, Terri. The kids got to feed the animals. They have a farmers market there and I got some corn and peaches that were awesome. The farm is open 12-4 on Saturdays and Sundays and its something cheap and fun to do with the kids.

That same day we ended up going to Kiddie Park with all of the same people above and Tim's dad came along. (He was working earlier in the day). We had a good time and all rode the train and the merry go round.

Tim and I took a few days off of work and went back to Columbus at the end of last week. We wanted to see the rest of the zoo and go to the waterpark since we still had our passes. Well the passes had a black out date on them of August 20-22 which is hilarious because those are the exact dates we were there..lol. Oh well, I dont think Avery would have liked the waterpark anyways. We took her swimming for the first time in a real pool at the hotel and she was not a fan. She didn't seem to like it at all. I am hoping she was just scared since it was her first time and the next time she will enjoy it more.

We went to the zoo on Thursdays morning and were there for about an hour and a half and then it downpoured. It rained for awhile so we decided to go back to the hotel for a few hours and take a nap. We then went back to the zoo. We got to the zoo and it started raining again! I guess we are never meant to go to the zoo since every time we go, it rains. It eventually stopped raining and we had a good time. We got to see the lions so up close. I never knew their tongues were so rough!

Right before we head out of the house to leave for Columbus, Tim got subpoenaed to go to court this Monday for the bullet hole that went through our garage. I don't understand how they expect him to show up with 3 business days notice. He is currently booked for the next two weeks and when he doesn't go to work, he doesn't get paid. We called and there is no way for him to get paid when he comes to court. All because some idiot decided to shoot a gun in a neighborhood where the houses are on top of each other. I guess it could be worse. At least no one got hurt.

Avery got her two year pictures taken last Wednesday. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the previews that Katie showed us. I am so excited to see the rest of the pics. If you are looking to get pictures taken, I highly recommend http://www.kathrynbarnettphotography.com :-)

I CANNOT believe that next week we will have a two year old!

Mommy and Daddy put me to work feeding the dogs
 Uncle Greg and Aunt Lauren asked me to be a flowergirl in their wedding! I am so excited to walk with Kassidy, Michael and Lauren's nephew Sam

Here is the note they wrote and the book they got for me!


I love hanging out with Chewie

I like taking baths and get mad when I have to get out and get dried off

Mommy caught me in the act of giving my food to Chewie

Look how red my hair is in this picture!

I was sitting on Michael's lap at the farm

Feeding the goats

Mmm, one of my favorite parks of Kiddie Park is the popcorn!

My first time riding the Merry Go Round. I wanted to hold onto daddy's hands instead of the horse

Hanging out with Aunt Cheryl

 And Grandpa...

And Grandma

I like my new plastic sofa!!


 In this picture I am supervising Daddy, making sure he is taking good care of the garden

Going on vacation for two nights. Look at all of our stuff! I am high maintenance

Mmm eating limes!

Mommy and Daddy say pools are supposed to be fun. This is not fun

Not having fun


 Still not having fun :-(

 Phew, I am finally out of the pool

Fun at the zoo

We got an up close view of the lion

Looking at the penguins

You cant see it in this picture but the gorilla is holding his hand out and we were sitting in it. I like to make fun of mommy because it looks like she is just standing weird in this picture.

Goats, I like goats! I am hoping we will get one once we move to a house with more land

This is where I want to go next

Looking at the fish

This was my favorite part of the zoo this time... I liked looking at these monkeys


The monkey was looking at me

Still watching the monkeys

Having a good time at the zoo

We went to Dave and Busters!

Daddy won me some toys

What a day! I am worn out

On our way home we stopped at Grandpa's Cheese Barn! This was Daddy and my first trip here. I loved eating all the samples!

Look at this pumpkin that Daddy grew in our garden. It's almost as big as me!

Mommy said I am so pale that it's hard to tell where my diaper stops and my skin starts

Lily climbed in my bed this morning 

We had a lazy Sunday morning

Then Eddie and Kaitlin came over. We went swimming and played with the water table


Here are the pictures that Katie took of me. She did so good! I wasn't in a very good mood that day but she managed to capture me smiling!




Chewie and I say bye for now!
