Avery's 1st Birthday

Wow...I just can't believe it has already been a year!! I kept telling Tim that I didn't think Avery would walk before her first birthday she was just too content with crawling. Tim said I was wrong, well guess what.....Everyone write this down I am admitting I was wrong:-) Avery is walking, almost running all over the place. We are so proud of our sweet Angel pie. It almost makes me a little sad to know that my baby is growing up.

Avery had a double birthday party with Ashley. It was a great day!! I couldn't have asked for it to turn out any better. We had about 60 people show up to wish the girls a happy birthday. Avery was a little to busy to open gifts mommy needed to do it for her but she sure does love all of her new clothes and toys! She might not have been great at opening gifts but she didn't need any help eating her over sized cupcake..LOL!! Man, I have never seen a baby eat so much. She puts her brothers to shame when it comes to eating;-) I hope everyone had as good of a time as we did at the party. Thank you for celebrating her birthday with us. Before we know it we will all be together again celebrating Ethan's 4th birthday. Geez my kids are growing up too fast!

Tramel Easter 2010

Easter weekend was great!! We started off at the Tramel's for an Easter egg hunt and some fun in the pool. The kids had such a great time hunting eggs and playing in the pool. Braden is a natural swimmer he is all over the pool but Ethan still doesn't want to get in for some reason. I think the more people tell him to get in the more he refuses (not sure where he gets that from:-) Avery got in the pool for the first time and even went under the water!! The kids always have so much fun at Gram and Grans!

Easter Sunday was spent with the Graham family at my Aunt's house. It was a beautiful day! It was great seeing all my sweet cousins. By the end of the weekend it looked more like Christmas than Easter with all the gifts the kiddos got. They are not spoiled at all...HA HA HA!

Avery's Baptism

April 17th 2010 Avery Lynn Tramel was baptized at Christ the Good Shepard. Tim and I want to Thank all of our friends and family that were able to come out and see this wonderful event. We are so greatful to have such wonderful people in our lives and our kids lives. We are also so proud to have such wonderful Godparents for each of our kids.

Avery at 6 Months

Avery is now six and a half months old. Wow how time goes by so fast!! I love spending every second with this girl. Although, I do think she is getting a little too attached to Mommy. Every night between 6:30 and 7 she is ready for Mommy to sit and hold her. Of course Daddy will do but don't let her see Mommy. I guess that is what happens when you stay home with them all day.

At her last doctor appt. Avery was 17 lbs (75th percentile) and 27 1/2 inches long (97 percentile). She is a big girl. She is rolling all around the living room and it looks like crawling is in the near future. She can sit up but does fall over after a few minutes. As you can see she never smiles.....HA HA HA

RaRa and I took Avery to get her ear pierced on Feb. 5th. Avery did great!! She cried for about 20 seconds and it hasn't bothered her sense. The bottom pictures are the day she got her ears done. She is such a joy to have and I could not be more blessed to have such wonderful kids. I thank God everyday for what he has given me.

Christmas 2009

Christmas was great this year!! We spent Christmas morning at my house and I cooked breakfast for the kids and my Mom and Dad. Then we spend a nice quite afternoon at my parents house with all the kids. As you can see in the pictures this kids got what they wanted and yes Ethan got is Buzz LightYear from Santa.

The following weekend we were able to get together with Tim's side of the family for the Tramel Christmas. It is the best steak of the year!! It is always a fun time getting together with everyone. I missed having cousins my own age and I am so glad my kids will have that growing up. I can't wait to see all the kids next year running around. Parker and Avery will get to open their own presents by then:-)

Ethan & Avery's Best Buds!!

Just wanted to post how cute the little kids are with their friends.

Off to see Santa

Ethan was not into seeing Santa this year. Although, he didn't forget to tell Santa he wanted a Buzzlight Year for Christmas. We didn't get a pic with Ethan on Santa's lap from our camera. He was just too upset for us to even try. As you can see Santa didn't bother Avery a bit.
