Mimi and PaPa's Visit

My mom and dad visited at the end of February. We had so much fun, lots of day trips to the zoo, Reagan library, farmers market, beach and wine tasting in Santa Ynez area.

Birthday Parties

We went to a couple of Avery's friends 2nd birthday parties, Calia and Gabriel. She enjoyed both since they had so many activities at Giggles n Hugs and Kidnasium, and of course seeing her friends, especially at Calia's party, her school buddies. And, I could not resist including the sweet shot of her and Shafer and her helping me make cookies. Cookies by the way, is her FAVORITE thing, she is the Cookie Monster.

Winter Fun

We are lucky with the weather this winter, lots of warm days, which means lots of outdoor time, especially for busy busy Avery. She went on her first bike ride, had a couple get togethers with her buddies Dylan, Emily and Mateo at Dylan's house and the zoo, played with her bud Shafer outside pushing him around in her car. Jessie and Matt visited us on their way to Hawaii, we had so much fun and just felt like old times - wished we could have go to Hawaii with them!

Christmas Eve and Day

Christmas this year was quiet, just the four of us (Jason, Julie, Avery and Shafer:)) While we missed our families very very much, the time we spent together was precious. Especially since we had the whole week off!

North Carolina Visit - Gammi and Grandpa

Some photos of our trip to North Carolina this summer to visit with my parents, brother and family from St. Louis to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday! Avery loved the beach, she was fearless! And, it was actually water temperature that she could stand, unlike our cold pacific ocean.
