We flew on an airplane, this was Avery's first time flying. She was so excited, she loved the turbulence, take off's and landings she was laughing the whole way. When we landed we drove to Kissimmee which is about a 20 minute drive. The next morning we decided to go to Gatorland. This was so much fun the kids I would definitely go here again. They loved looking at all the alligators, birds, riding the train and we watched the alligator wrestling show. It was beautiful weather so being outside was so nice. The next day we got up and went to Disneyworld and Epcot. It was a lot of fun and exhausting at the same time. The kids had so much fun and of course Avery went on her favorite ride Thunder Mountain Railroad. Epcot was fun to look at but not much to do. The next day we were ready to conquer Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios but the weather had other plans. It poured all day long so we went shopping to some flea markets and then headed for the coast. We checked into our hotel on Cocoa Beach. It was so nice and relaxing to just play on the beach and hang out at the hotel. We went on a boat tour and saw dolphins, manatees, birds and learned a lot about Cocoa beach. It was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed it. Sorry there are a lot of pictures. </div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#3333ff;">AIRPLANE</span></span></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457828322349890370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzwk7plepXE7aGsXGSEpi6sVvuxkbpyJ0ILfm1TdTY6rjNZSb_qM7UFChJ5I_Xav2kyw3L2cIpRgsBnn1raWs5fydq8pCITY-re0nvKw8HSj6rN2E5o4NEtJAntjxLb2Ettmf82So4MKI/s320/florida+trip+008.jpg" /> <div align="center">Jackson and Daddy ready for take off.<br /></div><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457827925749804994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMu_aTVDTpox4EP_zYAEtXBr49FftF94onDOKuEQOfXgwlPAhwbGdX1HL_mzZH-ZeSkzVwIBogYr3FuuD5hrm6W_rtHi_DBiqjDoBBJIkH4epTgMbvMfurCb0m_WuYY4hg9pjo0_pDPFE/s320/florida+trip+009.jpg" />Avery, happy as can be.</p><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#3333ff;">GATORLAND<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457827919611718290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigyVdrZtIPsavWNjOuX1yhFgR6XQUgolyKOoH2q7Vv57Houj8aPPJKw6ljS_OI5NGPJoVFRGC5S3njnwixD4njHmnHbspwZZh4t-eXw4cjmkfXyCaXyNWt4q2UUNo_PXEPWBBX8QMIqvk/s320/florida+trip+010.jpg" /></span></p><p align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457827917152413298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWDo_UwxcqDmgdC1FXIpfQyoCrjlVQTJODVLEwUAsY09w8QgCqru3TE3632uq-yBhPMiY6x00VmqwBqmYqO6WVPrAe7EbOXsJu-3rauHbFT-x3bD-06qwohnohiEOiHL7I9rL5fiOIaCQ/s320/florida+trip+013.jpg" />Looking at the white alligator.

My family traveled the 16+ hours to get there in the freezing cold weather. My family all came with grandpa and grandma. A.J. had to work, so Jackson stayed home with him Grammy and Wendy between the three of them I think they handled Jackson pretty good. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">We left Tuesday and stayed the night in Severe Utah at the Stock's home (thank you). That was so nice to have a good meal and warm bed to sleep in. We woke up to snow falling in the morning and drove the rest of the way on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday were all a blur. Between the bridal shower, temple, luncheon and reception we were pretty busy.</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Friday night at the reception we drove up to the church and I was helping Avery out of the car. I hear a little squeaky voice that sounds like Jackson. I turn around and A.J. and Jackson are standing there in the snow covered parking lot smiling. He had gotten a flight into Salt Lake and rented a car to meet us in Driggs. SURPRISE! It was so nice of him to come and spend the night with us and see Clinton & Paige on their special day. I am kind of jealous though because him and Jackson also got to fly home. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Anyways here are a few pictures of our trip...<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433316338675276354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy5q9ccgwi0yrFATq5l0G21zKvPL45C8VwPzktgpcCmekS1kYCDhA-tg-R8-_yFqZJIfTApmuXZSd9LV3VI8kLSHOvdwwjBVdNwIc8HJg_ljuGw5PgdIehnU6XyX_2O8qbtT-S9awRnwQ/s320/idaho+trip+jan+2010+012.jpg" /></div><div align="center"> Don't they look happy!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433315989615883522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3aDQ8YCmYBW4W-jTLo6_K6ntXQycUInnfSzZBtmZUJIBYg19QgI4Sm223Ps0ijEkkOH1BHDhAeUY35h2FhNJOvXn7i_lBUIlnjA22ZJJM9n7-bhYv8Vyh_NfIzYVhEssX-rwpZYpOAwk/s320/idaho+trip+jan+2010+016.jpg" /></div><p align="center">This is the view outside of my Uncle Jere & Aunt Karen's house.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433315983138962306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjirXBppOGKLO4GG97TretAByKKCPOdFQFpPygfPGSGAKOH3knXetHO3iU46lwJdtbsKiPmP9W2qwj0zNdTQRlDyQ77sIJQn2pvmoOXYfDNTxbviSU50cyECRF-4bsomqZ9XCuK8BGVe-0/s320/idaho+trip+jan+2010+017.jpg" /></p><div align="center"> The Teton's<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433315977834538610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBb5eV2mxlqJmVGu4EZTavVLDPLvy7eVnt1vZgSXh4_-q-HjYMv1uAK57vh7XG9ufwicRmy4KgRO-5bpgdbj5ev6gVLP3Oqx3DEUSmuneAWFkzbgNpHq0XEHCr0w0aiyLPODnRG8WujgA/s320/idaho+trip+jan+2010+011.jpg" />Avery @ the Rexburg temple.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433315976459891682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyEYgsdlwNo-W_nwUcgmzGVgeuJVMpUtV0xErpNcwIWzpZMwPh_QcZTEUPF_m-0wWLdBFSk1xVQG_GmTK_hBdIMwHqjdkNBBX4-15Z-9O-aBD4rgLnrqyniQDSWG4E2mRg2jn-hb1kQ_Y/s320/idaho+trip+jan+2010+009.jpg" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433315967969057330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHvzL7lTkt0iXGxw-Q94_cnaoVVIWKPTpCiMzW5_4Y9ZsKiIocVBxoEagnrh0d69pVVz0p4ip-_bp0bw1QLs7Id0-XURfUdQbg1B4Chym6d-tjR9dx6fiijXMD_KrCdt2mP6RNsxx_lUE/s320/idaho+trip+jan+2010+005.jpg" /></div><div align="center"> Avery waiting outside the temple.

My mom's neighborhood where we live is having a community yard sale this Friday November 6th and Saturday the 7th. Be there early because it starts at 6:00 a.m. Hopefully it will be good. We will not be participating however I will be out on the hunt for something, who knows what but I'm sure I will just have to have it. Oh, and did I mention it's all phases of the Queen Creek Ranchetts.

My kids have never been and I had only been once when Heidi and Fletcher were married. So we jumped at the chance to go, we just wished daddy didn't have to work. My kids had so much fun running around outside and seeing new things. Jackson loved looking at the horses. We took a day trip into Albuquerque and went to some thrift stores with the kids. Us moms spent some time crafting and enjoying each others company. Jackson and Avery got to ride a horse for the first time. Jackson just liked to sit on it and if it moved he would scream. Avery did like it and was very proud of herself when she was done. These are some pictures that I took around the ranch. Thanks for the good times Heidi! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398089732365265042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgiaMldKqRdzV5ys-ltJavXU0D5pPhv5Wks24vz2rXcQTc5pBqSHv0MUeFgR6xowrF-XRo_YvNSeIhE337TatDVKi4PG81cN9zmlIuo4ju-0-63mLCK4wHUrPOf3M1im8fLFHpe1g8xcU/s320/aug.-oct.+2009+026.jpg" />This is the old ranch house where Fletcher lived, once upon a time.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398089725098204722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi26KY-gmZWE7741UWz958185HKnbkVRKlhCvr-cGtzhAyuvcECni8h24O9ASqRfmCeB6rqWcuc161H-6TBSuLfR7CEWEG9dYIoAk4G7TOjFH1Pexj7OVnKvLNRb8hE-pN74_7TzNqgoBs/s320/aug.-oct.+2009+021.jpg" />Jackson on "Cookie."<br /><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398095308028905938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjttglSz-CX3sQjNcNRXuEsBSCxPQpFqaVg-vkDNIA88Rk6mCpR9pKJxVcYIbcLLiFJhGKKCO58cUx0m13XetpgC_1D8tXV5GrpIFGRiUU3wJtyMWNX3StdMueNA2NWwEI-1s_Pw-0qd-4/s320/aug.-oct.+2009+024.jpg" /></div><div align="center">Beau (I love this kid)</div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398089717612509074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPtCUHJQk2tQnEcJumd3cveHXycvtY1E2GQ_Ax1jtC9P8QsmEfJwG6NNt_ffAWfk6bB5wUrRvbfW_XXpcRmJHVErx4xmhWIPPFno5yMcZ1X4M5vBMr_NJ5cyO_7NLvWfqe1utaPzwL4RA/s320/aug.-oct.+2009+020.jpg" /></div><div align="center">Avery on "Jake."</div></div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398089713788383634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWz4kVac3CImp02Ik8s7iPaw7Maapv0x4NfwAKJhZkFqpJwZot-YPtGWpIiMQm5yO1n2SDuLoFoql6xwfrV4ytvKfNrWCqcAokCy90adC001raJkLRELQOiJhPUJWnAMN9Xmxxd0ZJca0/s320/aug.-oct.+2009+013.jpg" />Jackson cautiously looking at the goats. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398089699632755186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKSvSRz7KLpF9wp8zAji22Rkk4enu_taziwDl_9hbftv54tMZSmLg1x23ytMBHJPvwPX1s2oqU86kGMmUIZ3hqCqxOCRh1asaGlLeKH1_ahjF73HifQZ6e-LfMFEXXntL6gzH6LneQ4BM/s320/aug.-oct.+2009+014.jpg" />The kids liked looking at the goats until we told them, "not to get to close they will bite your fingers off."

In the past her birthday is has been on labor day weekend so we were always out of town and that was my excuse for not doing a party. This year it wasn't so I had no excuses. We decided on a fairy party. Avery was so excited. I enlisted the help of my sister in law who is amazing and did <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">tons</span> of the work. The party was so much fun, I just love this group of girls they are all so nice and polite to each other. These are some of the pictures taken at the party again by my sister in law <a href="http://wendyshepherdphotography.blogspot.com/">wendyshepherdphotography.blogspot.com</a> . We started by reading Alice the Fairy book which I love and then we played fairy, fairy, troll (like duck duck goose) musical fairies. Then we decorated our jars with stickers that we later used to collect pennies that the tooth fairy dropped for us. Then we ate sandwiches in the shape of a butterfly and had fairy fizz (raspberry lemonade w/ pop rocks) to drink. We sang happy birthday and ate our daisy cupcakes, opened presents and then hunted for our pennies. Lot's of pics and lot's of fun. Thanks Wendy, Heidi and mom for all of your help!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379902032805243858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNU_zTUeZZK7q0h_w_oSoSy4H3y1FRQSj2UepTqnwTAxslB6TcT8DT_qzAZz_rBcAsiXDig3NRF-YjA1SLU1_c7tMqu1gktt93aSNRzkcTQmR7ZyuKGVUp5cCH2-A_7cUxxS76wOOuQB0/s320/cc-52.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I think at 3 years old this is a task she can handle. She was gone for quite a while and when she revealed herself I knew why. She came out looking like this. Let me give you a run down of this beautiful onsaumble: purple heart glasses with the lenses popped out, not only is her shirt on backwards it is inside out also, pink shorts, black boots, and lets not forget the purple ball and naked baby. I looked at her and said, "I knew you could do it!" Hopefully she doesn't go into fashion designing, funny girl.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330561604775677138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvPUYmmS1fJWtcamV3-mQeU7hcAb0JE6Fvn5tHDUxk0JFQfjuqKPSZCMD1okKyThRNogjufWKao5IXqmiq7htt-cGkDqY8HHg6Gi-e4OpEWOwktB-AmlknwafWhE9M_Pl9MYtT7u-z4eI/s320/avery.jpg" border="0" />aj&brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12873270590805172755noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2836130530210000256.post-13849117870972541412009-04-23T14:31:00.000-07:002009-04-23T14:33:38.370-07:00It's that time again...If anyone needs to order Scentsy I am putting an order in.

I have to admit I didn't want to spend the money. But with him done with school we really did need this time to ourselves. I told him he had to pick the place. And he chose Galveston Island, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">TX</span>. We left on Thursday and came back on Tuesday. We had so much fun. The beach was great and the weather was nice. We stayed at the Harbor House Hotel which is an old <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Warehouse</span> that they converted into a hotel on the bay. And then for the last 2 nights we stayed in a bed and breakfast turn of the century <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Victorian</span> house.

Avery always asks to go to the zoo so we finally made a trip. We got there at 3:30 and the zoo closed at 5:00 so we loaded up the stroller and just about ran to the exhibits. All of the animals were out surprisingly. That never happens. A.J. loved it because it was fast, good weather, and no one got sunburned.<br /></div><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbciLSpqGRzsJVC72sPGfqfmXhB8KLBZuZ3V1yil1Vnhje97z14D3oEQc0E7iGBYWYbjHikRRuMOIIfaA08JxvGHX2rurQIAbB9t92sTX92v3ZL2OtSJukxEY7ASfDHv-E-huVlWcKRD0/s1600-h/kids+feb.+%26+march+027.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314291570634291138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbciLSpqGRzsJVC72sPGfqfmXhB8KLBZuZ3V1yil1Vnhje97z14D3oEQc0E7iGBYWYbjHikRRuMOIIfaA08JxvGHX2rurQIAbB9t92sTX92v3ZL2OtSJukxEY7ASfDHv-E-huVlWcKRD0/s320/kids+feb.+%26+march+027.jpg" border="0" /></a> At the petting zoo, Jackson would only pet the back side of the animals and wanted nothing to do with them if he saw there face.
