Country Living

 Avery was wanting to play with the baby pigs but was surprised to find daddy had slipped one into her wagon...she got a kick out of it.

Going for a ride with her piggy.

All her babies :)

This little pig was so sweet and just loved getting the attention from Avery.

Avery is thinking she is pretty big stuff introducing brother to the pigs.

Braylin isn't nearly as excited as sis is about the pigs....

Sister thinks it is pretty funny that the spot baby is getting brothers feet :)

And the chester is nursing on Braylin's toes....apparently there is something about his feet that they all like!

Running to find her kittens!

Our little hillbilly :)

We had fun running through the cornfield too!

Braylin's 1st Photo Shoot

 

Braylin & Mommy had their first photo.  Poor kid is going to get so sick of pictures :)  These newborn photos were taken at 10 days old and he is oh so very precious. 

All about Dad

 Sporting this outfit for daddy....borderline child abuse. 

 Always smiling when there is a John Deere near :)

"Hi Mommy!  Avery helped mommy mow the whole yard as usual and then decided to help dad do the rough areas.  Can you tell she likes it just a wee bit?

 

One of Braylin's favorite places to be....in daddy's arms :)

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.
