I'm surprised it took this long!

Well, it's finally happened...Shae has taught Avery to go into our beer fridge(we have Shae's dorm fridge in our utility room stocked with various beer/alcohol) and retrieve him a beer....

She even knows that if she grabs a Corona, she also has to grab the bottle opener that is stuck to the front of the fridge...except she hasn't quite grasped the 'time of day versus alcoholic consumption' rule...Shae was outside working in the flowerbeds at 9am this morning and she thought that was a good time to bring him a beer...too funny!

I guess she's heard that song "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere!"

Trip to Orange Beach!

We've been so busy lately! We left home Friday, June 15th which also happened to be my and Shae's 5th Anniversary. We got to Laplace and dropped Avery off with my parents and then we went out to dinner at Ralph's on the Park in New Orleans..It was great. They have this white chocolate creme brulee topped with fresh strawberries that was to DIE for. Sunday, we stayed in Laplace and took my family out to eat for Father's Day. Monday, we headed to Orange Beach. First stop was the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. It POURED down raining as we were walking through the parking lot and we got drenched despite umbrellas. Then we grabbed some lunch and then headed to the condo to check in. Avery wanted to go to the beach as soon as we drove up.

We had a really good time playing on the beach and in the swimming pools. Avery loved playing in the sand but by day 3, I was tired of SAND. We did get some great pics....

Baby Theresa

Avery's such a good little mommy...she's potty training her dolls...Here, Baby Theresa gets her turn to use the potty!

Redneck Swimming Pool

Avery found a new garbage can on the back porch on Sunday..It was intended to go into the camper that we are cleaning up to sell, but I hadn't made my way out there to put it in.

So a light bulb went off in Avery's almost 3 year old brain...she grabbed the hose (she already had her swimsuit on, she wore it around the house all day Sunday!)and filled the garbage can up and then proceeded to GET IN...we've been joking that Avery made her a 'redneck swimming pool' Reguardless, she had a blast and thought it was the best thing....and of course I ran to get my camera....but rest assured the garbage can was clean!!!!

New bathing suit

Avery got a new bathing suit for our upcoming beach trip...and of course she had to wear it around the house....

Swimming

We went swimming on Memorial Day....just relaxed out by the pool at some friends of our house. Avery had fun and thought it was hilarious when her daddy went off the diving board.

Tickle Monster

Avery calls her daddy the tickle monster....
