Best Buds

 Can't you just hear her giggling??? :)

 "Nooooo, I love you more!"  This dog ADORES his little Avery.  It was such a wise move to get him and let them grow up together.

 Who needs a pony???

 "Big hugs Ajax...big hugs"

"C'mon Ajax...let's go inside now"

Indiana Beach!

 We are off to the Beach!  Our first family trip to Indiana Beach...oh what fun!

 Mommy is so excited to have a riding partner for the tilt-a-whirl since daddy doesn't like rides.

 And Avery loved it and had a ball....mommy too.  We had to ride it twice and then Avery begged daddy to ride "one more time...pease daddy"...but daddy declined (WIMP!)  :)

 Though you can only see her peering over the front...she was having a ball and giggling the whole time. 

 Our little motor head really enjoyed driving the cars.

 Anything that goes round and round in a circle is a hit with Avery.  Let it go up in the air the slightest and she freaks!

 Ring Ring Ring the bell.

 Braylin chillin' in the stroller.  He did really good despite the heat.

Again, anything that goes up in the air at all (and these little whales simply "jump") scares her to death......

 By the end of the ride, she loved it....she just needed mommy to talk her through it.  Ignore the fact that mommy looks like an overgrown idiot on this kiddy ride.  The things we do for our kids :)

Vroom Vroom.

Adjusting to Life

 Big sister loves to cuddle with her baby brother.

 She showers him with hugs and kisses.

 She was super excited to feed brother a bottle.  She is quite the big helper and little mom.

 Wonder if he'll play football?? :)

Avery is excited every morning she comes down the stairs to see that her baby brother is still here!

All About Avery

She works hard for a living :)



Toes in the sand...too bad it isn't the beach.



Hello Beautiful! 

 Busy, busy little girl.  She is getting better and better at maneuvering her tractor around the yard.

 Playing in the sprinkler is oh so fun!  Or as Avery says "play in the rain?"

 Practicing walking her piggy. She makes her daddy so proud.

 She might be a little thing but she doesn't take any guff from the pigs. 

 Never far from her daddy, one of her favorite things to do is help daddy in the barn and with the pigs.

 Her smile is so infectious!

We enjoyed being outside ALL day with Avery one day this week.  Avery hasn't been able to be outside as much as we'd like with mommy being pregnant and the heat.  We all took full advantage of the nice weather this week while daddy was off of work. 

Big Sister & Baby Brother

 Avery spots her baby brother for the first time!!!! 

 Her expression was priceless!  Never seen her so excited.  It was precious.

 Over the top already loving her brother...

 Sweet baby kisses

Avery thought it was quite a hoot when Braylin yawned.....every noise, squeak, yawn or sneeze just cracks her up!

 Big sister is the first to hold baby Braylin as soon as we got home from the hospital.

Love them both so much already.  Life is good and we are surely blessed.

Welcome Braylin Garin Haselby

 We welcomed into the world Braylin Garin Haselby on 7/29/11 at 10:32 pm!

 Our sweet little boy was enough to kill mama at 9lbs 8oz and 22.5in.  He is a healthy boy!  Named after some pretty wonderful people...Braylin (combination of Brandon & Grandma Linda) and Garin (combo of Grandpa Gary and Grandpa Darvin). 

"Did someone say it was time for a bottle??"

Just Life

Avery had a great time playing in the bouncy castle.  It took her a second to figure out what she was to do but she had a ball once she got the hang of it.  Thanks for having us cousin Kale and Happy Birthday!!!!

 Mommy's little girl...she is such a sweet little kid.

Of course it is kitten time again....Avery will never be without a barn full of cats that is for sure.
