Things That Make My Heart Melt

This morning I woke up to my precious daughter running into my room yelling "MOMMY MOMMY!" Avery ran right up to the bed and gave me a kiss. But here's what made my heart melt... Brian told me that when he went into her room to get her up, the first thing she said was,

"Mommy bess in hol world." (trans: mommy best in whole world)

Oh my. I have no idea if she even realized what she said, but I'll take it! That is a great way to start my day. I'll also add that after she gave me a kiss this morning she climbed up in bed with me and laid on me for a few minutes... doesn't happen too often and I loved it! I love you sweet girl.

Happy Halloween!

Avery was a CSU cheerleader for Halloween... the cutest one I've ever seen, that's for sure. She had a full day of fun, cake, and candy! She was in heaven. That morning, she had a birthday party for a friend (super fun... check out the pick of how Avery ate the birthday cake), then later that afternoon we went with my sister and kids to a carnival at her church, then topped it all off with trick-or-treating around our neighborhood to a few of our friends houses. It was a great day!
Here's the Birthday Girl... Happy 2nd Birthday Lacy!

Avery and her friend Kate... she LOVES Kate!

Avery and her future prom date Ben... she also LOVES Ben!

Who needs a fork, or hands, for that matter?

What a cute cheerleader! She kept yelling "Go RAMS!" it was awesome!

Avery, Malachi, & Rachel (her cousins) at the carnival... amazing we actually got this pic.

TRICK-or-TREAT! (Avery translation: Tick O Teat)

Playing In The Snow... IN OCTOBER!

We got DUMPED on last week with about 16 inches of snow and it was heaven! There's something about the quietness of fresh snow that slows life down (literally) and makes me want to curl up in a blanket, with a cup of hot chocolate, and read a book.... I actually got to do that! *You gotta try adding a little honey to your hot chocolate... wow! Pretty impressive for a mom of a 2 year old!
Here's our backyard


Avery also enjoyed the snow for the first time! We bundled her up and went sledding and built her first snowman. She LOVED it! And it was hilarious watching her try to walk and move around... she reminded us of the 'stay puff marshmallow man.' Although... a much cuter version!

Cool Shades

Avery doesn't typically keep sunglasses on very long, but we managed to snap a couple of cute pics while she was wearing her Dora shades. Pretty cute, don't you think?

Just Boots

So Avery has fallen in love with her snow boots and wants to wear them all the time.

Here is what happening this morning...

Avery was having some "room time" playing in her bedroom and I heard her start crying. When I opened her door I saw my daughter wearing her pajama top and snow boots... and that's all. I couldn't help but laugh.

She looked up at me and smiled. Then pointed to her underwear and pants on the floor... "Nundies mom!" (undies, mom)

Then she started laughing and just ran out of the room, bare butt and all, squealing with delight.

It was a great moment for a Monday! Pin It
