Jam Session

For Avolyns birthday Mike and I bought her a guitar. Since Mike is now working at a music shop we were able to get a pretty good price. Today when Elliott was asleep we were able to focus on Avolyn and this is how it went down...






I took a couple of videos, but they are not wanting to download right now. But you get the idea. She started singing "You Are My Sunshine", it was pretty fantastic. I will see if I can work on the footage.

Drum roll please....AN UPDATE!

Greetings Friends and Family!

So much to share. We have been a busy family the past few months. I hope that these pictures will catch you up. Avolyn had her 2nd birthday last weekend! Can you even believe it!? Pictures will come later from that very special day. She is just such a joy and a very smart 2 year old. We are hopefully going to start potty training in the next couple of weeks. She understands the concept, so we will see if we can put it into motion.

Elliott is now 4 months old. He is smiling often, and becoming quite the rolling machine. He is a very easy going baby. He still wakes up at least once a night most nights, but I bet once we start introducing foods to him he will sleep all night long. At least I hope.

Enjoy the pictures...In chronological order...starting in (gulp, August)




Elliott Utahs 2 month photo shoot.

Little Mother Hen
She really did get most of the lasagna in her mouth.

Elliott found his feet!

Avolyn has never really been into watching t.v. For some reason I thought it would be a fun idea to watch this movie that we have had since Christmas. It is the ONLY show that she watches, and when she does, it is pretty much the ONLY thing that she is into, she stops everything and watches the video. There are 5-5 minute segments, all with morals and they are clay animated. I took these photos when we were watching the movie. It does give me 25 minutes to get things done. Even Harper and Elliott enjoy watching it.
Notice Avolyns bracelet, she had been getting into accessories lately.

That about wraps it up. It kills me that I have not updated in so long and for each picture there is a story that I could include. My dear friend Mandi came to Avolyns birthday party and took pictures. As soon as I get those I will post the celebration. Until then...here is a sneak peek..........
