State Fair 2012

 Who "made" this kid ride a pony?  Geesh-she hates it and it is torture, can't you tell?

 Total focus :)

 All smiles.....and looking oh so cute!

 "why can't I ride the pony?"

 Avery always finds the cows...

What the heck is an ox?  Holy cow are they big!

 Shocking....Avery and a John Deere!

 She was in 7th Heaven with all the tractors on the other side of the track...we had to look at almost all of the green ones :)

 Baby cows are pretty cute too!

 If it has wheels...

 And an engine...

This kid is hooked.  Such a motor-head :)

Even though we have no pictures to prove it, we did spend time in the pig barn and horse barns :)

Little bit of Avery.....

 As close to a "smile" as we are getting....when asked at least!

 SPLASH

 Innocence?  Doubtful :)

 Mamaw and Avery having root beer floats.

 "Hey...deez tings are pwetty good!"

Coloring before bedtime-Avery sure loves coloring and craft time.  Too bad mommy doesn't have more time to do them more often (and more patience). 

12 Months and going strong!

1 yr old photo shoot...Happy Birthday baby boy!

Monkey is 1

 Birthday Boy loves his new car from Mamaw & Papaw.

 Eating outside enjoying the nice weather.

 Our little dare devil and his first 4-wheeler.

 Mamaw teasing the kids.....who can't enjoy a good talking monkey anyways?

 Sweet, sweet baby boy....he appears to like his cake.

 No need to get our hands dirty!

 ymmmmmm, CAKE!

 We LOVE this little face!

 Someone is very proud of the mess he has made!

 Pretty excited to be the entertainment...he loved the oohs and ahhhhs as he would do something cute while eating his cake.  Such a little cheeseball!

Cannot believe how fast the year has gone.  Hard to imagine what life was like before Braylin came along...he has surely completed our family in so many ways.  Thank you to everyone that sent cards, presents and came to celebrate big guys big day!  Happy Birthday Braylin-we love you very much monkey!

Lions, Tigers and Bears-OH MY!

 Excited to get to the FW Childrens Zoo!

 Woo-hoo, where are we going first?

 "Hello Mr Goat!"

 We LOVE the goats!

 Cutest lil joey around....

 Taking in the outback

 Pretty cute little tour guide we had :)

 Passed OUT!

 This beautiful creature was blocking our path...

 Trying to impress the ladies.....

 Let's just say-Avery was NOT impressed!

 Until next time....

Good times :)  Thanks Daddy for taking off and heading to the zoo with us.
