Halloween Party

Avery had a company Halloween Party last week. It was a lot of fun. Ty was a little overwehlmed by the loud music and people dressed up but it seemed like he had a great time. I had a lot of fun making Ty's costume and I'm glad he was able to wear it more than once this year.

Claire was at the party too. She looked pretty cute in her garden fairy costume. (Great job, Kristen)

Fall Time!

Fall is here and it is gorgeous. I'm loving the red leaves. I never seen it quite like this before. Ohio is so pretty in the fall. Here are some pictures that I took from our balcony. We really do have a nice view.

We finally made to the beach

Even though we're not in California, we do have a beach 5 minutes away. It's actually a really nice beach although I'm not too sure about the water. Since summer is winding down, we decided to go see what the beach was all about. We had a fun evening. Ty thought the sand was amazing until he got a mouthful of it. We took some fun pictures and I tried to be creative (not that it worked well)

Trip to Palmyra

Todd surprised me when he planned a trip to Palmyra. I've always wanted to go and now that we're only 4 hours away we finally got to go. We loved the church history sites. It was truly an amazing place to visit.

Hill Cumorah. Yes it was really, really windy.

Smith Family Farm

Ty loved being in the Sacred Grove. He couldn't not look at the trees blowing in the breeze.

I know it's a weird picture but this was our first time eating a P.F. Changs. We got two meals and an appetizer for just 14 bucks. We only waited two hours before getting our food.

4 Week (Vacation?)

This last month, Todd went to a training for Avery in Massachutes. It was four weeks long so instead of staying home with Ty I visited family in California and Utah. It was fun and really good to see family but I missed my husband.

He's one cool dude! A present from Massachutes for when he's older!

He was so happy to be allowed to act like a monkey

What's Aunt Holly doing with such a stud?!

While in Utah we went to a family reunion at a favorite campground, Warm River. Ty loved it. He also loved showing his new pearly whites. He now has five.

I figured where Ty's blue eyes came from. They are almost exactly the same color as my dads.

5th of July!

Since the 4th was on a sunday we enjoyed a great 5th of July, not that we didn't enjoy the 4th but the 5th was a little more exciting. We had a fun BBQ get-together with the Avery families

Ty really likes Swings. It almost put him to sleep I need one in the apartment.

It was good to finally get a picture of the Avery babies!

Claire is a little out numbered I think

Claire and Coulson. They're pretty much boyfriend and girlfriend and super cute.
