Fun Pics

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog these past few weeks, I haven't been feeling well. Avery and I both got the stomach flu two weekends ago and then this past weekend I ended up in the Emergency Room with a kidney stone that won't move. So needless to say it's been an interesting couple of weeks. Kyle has been helping out a ton with Avery while I haven't felt good and I'm glad that when I have gotten sick it happened on the weekend when he can be home to help.
So the other day after resting I came out of the bedroom to find Avery with a new toy on her head. Dad gave her a cereal bowl to play with and somehow it ended up on her head!! Too cute, and now it's her favorite toy. Avery is such a daddy's girl and I love it!! It's so fun to see them play and bond and it gives me a break from time to time. She does love her mom too!!
Another shot of Avery and her "hat" in her exersaucer. She also loves to play in her exersaucer.
Avery already loves chocolate like her mommy. It's fun to feed her new foods to try and I know I probably shouldn't feed her chocolate, but she was basically grabbing the spoon out of my hand. So we shared a chocolate brownie...mmmm good!!!

Project...

I love putting cute bows in Avery's hair and now I know how to make them. A lady in my ward makes them for her daughter and was willing to show me how to do it. It is pretty hard if you don't know how to tie a ribbon or bow, but it was fun to learn. I made 2 of all of these one set for Avery and the other for a friend of mine who is having a little girl in a few weeks and is having a hard time getting into "girly" mode because she only has boys. So I hope these bows for her help her start thinking "girly"!! I know I don't have a hard time. Part of what is so fun about making these bows is picking the ribbons. It's so fun to put 2 and 3 of them together. I still need to make a blue one that is about the only color I left out.

I also made this cute binkie clip at another of my neighbors/friends house. I have some super crafty friends!! She has made 2 for Avery so I went over to her house and put this one together for my friend. They are super cute and fun for little girls and boys. Everybody needs a little bling even babies!!
It was picture day at the Jones home on Sunday before church. Avery was being such a ham for the camera and I thought I would show off one of the bows I had made. I can't believe Avery is already 6 months old, she is getting sooooo big!!! I miss my tiny baby!!

So here is the new do. It's not a great shot, but I love the cut and color. My cousin always does such a fabulous job!! She is about the only one I let touch my hair, I still haven't found anyone in Idaho that does it just like she does, so just about every trip to Utah I get my hair done. This last time I waited 4 months to get my hair done, but when you find someone you love it's hard to go anywhere else!! Thanks Buffie your the best!!

One Last Trip

We went for our last summer trip to McCall over Labor day weekend to play in the lake and take the boat and jet ski out of the water. The weather was nice for us on Saurday so we were able to go wakeboarding and skiing, but the weather was horrible on Sunday and we had to go to church at a barn, literally. The church in McCall has been closed all summer for some rennovations and so the 2 wards that go there have been holding there meetings at members homes and at a barn of one of the bishops. They set up chairs in the stables for sacrament (at least the ones that don't have horses in them), put up a tent for primary, and even have port-a-potty's for bathrooms. It had been fine all summer because the weather was nice, but this Sunday it was pouring down rain and freezing cold outside. It still probably wouldn't have been so bad, but the barn isn't fully enclosed so you could feel the cold breeze blow through. So needless to say Avery did not go to church on Sunday, she and Kyle stayed home in the warm condo. I wish I would have had a camera because it was quite funny to see all those people huddled up so close to stay warm.
I finally remembered my camera and got some pictures of me wakeboarding although they aren't very good because it's hard to hold steady with the boat bouncing up and down. It was such a great summer up there so for now, goodbye McCall I'll see you in the winter to ski and snowboard.

Here I am waiting to get started, it looks like I have a bald spot on my head because of how the sun is shining and the flash of the camera. I really don't have a bald spot, just in case you were wondering.
Here I am up and going, I'm not the most graceful wakeboarder, but I have so much FUN doing it. I only had 2 bad falls and they were both face plants, but I always got right back up and did it again.
