A beautiful day....

Avery hung out with the girls at the salon as they got their hair done.
Calling her Papaw to come and pick her up....
Baby girl was all smiles after spending the afternoon with her Papaw as the girls were busy with wedding details.
Always full of smiles....
Smallest Groupie going up for a closer look of the band....Avery was very into the music and couldn't stop shaking her little butt.
Aunt Ashley and Uncle Pete were back in town for a friends wedding. They spent as much time with peanut as they could in the short/quick trip up from Charlotte. Thanks to the beautiful bride for including all of us in her special day!!!!
Avery had a ball the entire night!
Dancing with the girls....she danced the whole night!!!
Aunt Ashley showing Avery the pretty fountains at night....
and Avery was NOT impressed when Aunt Ash wouldn't let her get IN the water.
Uncle Pete busting a move with his Avery.
She was sooo tired but she wouldn't slow down. AND....she is a HUGE fan of her Uncle Pete. Mommy had to hear "Peta Peta" for about 30 minutes in the car after we left the reception.
Avery would totally pass for their kid!
Full of hugs and love for her Auntie & Uncle. It was so good to see that she remembered them since she hadn't seen them for 3 months. She went right to them both without hesitation.
Baby girl watching the fireworks with her Ashley. Thankfully Avery FINALLY has learned again to say "Asshhh". She had it down months ago and then started calling her and Pete both "Peta Peta".

Showman in the making....

Avery was trying on her "show gear".
She thinks she is pretty hot stuff!!!!
Mommy couldn't catch a piglet that wanted to play so the kitten would have to do for now...
Making even a pig barn look beautiful....
Ahhhhh...a show stick!
She ALWAYS has something to say!!!!!
She is growing up way too fast but she is soooooooo darn cute doing it! It won't be long and she will be making her daddy proud in the show ring.

Babies and more babies!

Avery woke up from her nap to a big surprise.....
a litter of baby kittens!!!!! (Thanks Papaw for rescuing them from our attic!!)
She is so excited about all the babies!
It is definitely baby time at our house....a litter of baby pigs last week, a litter of kittens and lots more piggies due this coming week....we love BABIES!!!!
"Momma, this one looks like Sparkplug!" (Sparkplug is the momma kitty from cousin Tasha).
"This one is sooo tiny...can we send it to Aunt Ashwee and Uncle Peta?"
"I LOVE ALL 5 of my new babies!!!!!"
Love the sparkle in her eyes and that she can't stop smiling...
"I wish Aunt Ashley was here to play with the new kitties with me".

Sunday visits...

A grandparents love.....
She sure loves her Papaw....he made her day by coming to see her.
Becoming friends....
"Awww, I like this one.... A LOT!"
"Mamaw...let's go back over there to the babies".
"Hey DaaaaDaaa....look at me! Mommy helped me climb the tree!!!!"..

Water Time

Avery was so happy to have a sunny Saturday at home to be able to swim in her pool.
Playing in her sprinkler....
She loved the sprinkler as long as it was turned down low....that well water gets pretty cold!

Farm Girls are the Best!

"BABIES!"
"OOOOHHH, it touched my foot!"
"He is soooo cute except when he gets close to my feet!"
Our little farm kid helping daddy process babies....
"Ok Dad...I've got the next one!"
"Here piggy, piggy, piggy...time for your shots!"
Checking to make sure she has seen all of the new babies...
Getting a little braver with an up close view....
Wish we could freeze time...she is growing up too fast.
Splashin' around in a puddle
Helping daddy bring in some veggies from the garden....she did happen to take a few taste test bites on the ride up the driveway.
