Carribean Cove

 Pretty excited about staying at the hotel that has an indoor pool. 
 Little man smiling on the way to the pool too....probably because sis is squealing the whole way.
 Ahhhhh.....how this kid has missed the water.
 She loved the water slides!
 Waiting for the HUGE bucket of water to dump....
Bucket dumping.  Where did they go??? 
 After bucket dumped....who was having more fun, Avery or Daddy?
 Braylin slept through all the yelling & screaming from all the kids at the water park.
 And this is generally all you would see of Avery coming down the one slide....she went so fast we couldn't catch her on camera.
 Boy was she having fun!
 Daddy was smart enough to turn the wheel and stop a lot of the shooting water.  Mommy was an easy target for the kids at the top of the pirate ship as they shot with fire hose strength water guns.  Avery...well she was just having fun whatever she was doing.
We went to Indy for an overnight getaway courtesy of Community State Bank. It was quite exhausting and stressful for Mommy & Daddy as Avery was one of the smallest at the water park.  Thought for sure we'd end up in Riley again as kids 3x her size just kept running her over and knocking her off of things.  But we all survived and had a good time so it was well worth the stress and worrying. :)
Braylin is happy just going with the flow but he was happiest that he got to sleep in the big bed with his mommy all night.  :)

ZooBoo!

 Avery-BUG the Lady-BUG :)
 Cutest little calf in the world!
 Bug hiding in the bushes....
 Even a ladybug needs shades, right?
 Thinking mommy is pretty silly making faces to get him to smile.....
 Mommy and her kiddies
 Daddy helped Avery trick or treat at the zoo.  Avery was a bit timid after mommy had a werewolf jump out and scare her.  It was pretty funny though.
 Mommy getting more into Halloween at the Indy Zoo than little man was.....
 Avery was more into the animals than the trick or treating & dress up portion....
 Daddy with his Halloween Munchkins...the first of many Halloween festivities this year!
 Avery was checking out all the props and decor.
 Of course she wanted her pic taken with the Tiger "RARRRRRR".  The tiger exhibit is still a favorite at the Indy Zoo.  Every time we get there that is the first thing she wants to see.
 Little Bug giving or getting pointers from a little devil?
Snack Break in the Ocean :)

Avery-Fall 2011

Our Avery Hanson Haselby.....in action!  29 months old and so full of energy.

Fall Fun

 Avery "tries" to make friends with the willy worms she finds...that is if she isn't too rough with them when picking them up.  We have had several casualties.
 Avery went over to ride in a combine with Papaw Daily.  It was her first combine ride and she loved it!
 Little co-pilot surely talked poor Grandpa Daily's ear off.  Surely he enjoyed the silence after she was gone!
 Wild Child....this pic about sums it up. 
 Avery had a ball playing in the leaves outside mommy's work.  She missed out last year since she had a broken arm but she is making up for it this year. 
 Although not sporting the IU sweatshirts because of the stellar football team, they still look cute and do their Grandpa Darv proud!
Trying on his skeleton jammies....Braylin was all smiles.  Our little goblin seems to already be in the spirit!!

All Aboard!!!!!!

 We all (including Mamaw & Papaw) hit the pumpkin train this weekend.
 Little Man's first train ride......(pre-train whistle)
 (and post train whistle)...every time the train would blow the whistle he would cry his eyes out.
 Avery sitting with Papaw....enjoying the sunshine and beautiful train ride.
 Waving to the horses...
 Very excited about something....not sure what though. 
 Fall is such a gorgeous time of year in the Midwest....these warm temps have definitely let us take advantage of all the outdoor beauty. Riding the rails was a perfect way to do just that and spend time with family!
 Momma and her little guy (and notice the lip is stuck out...train whistle just blew again!)
 Happy to spend time with mommy and daddy!
 Mamaw and Avery found the perfect pumpkin!
 Mommy showing Braylin the pumpkin that Avery picked out for him.
 Very excited again about the train moving. :)
Family photos are getting more and more difficult with a toddler and a baby. 
Mamaw & Papaw helping carry pumpkins back to the train.  Avery....not helping so much :)
Avery wanted to hold her pumpkin on the way back to the train station.
Smooching on her Papaw....Avery is a big time Papaw's girl and is usually attached to his hip.  The pumpkin train was no exception.  :)
