there was also this ladder thing.

where the boys promptly decided to do flips.

 like right here.

and perhaps went to bed a little too early haha.

 but like please look at my child.

is so good to let me take 99 photos.

 we now love to eat all things in range.

haha my pictures are getting harder and harder to take.

avery is so dang wiggly.

he's been a very fun little guy.

lately he chats away forever. 

smiles at complete strangers.

and loves life.

 he is working on growing some cheeks.

haha almost at a whopping 11 lbs now.

and 23 inches, seems long.

we had a little bit of a rough go at our 2 month check up.

getting shots and being told he's too little.

but things are looking up!

he has gained a pound in 2 weeks.

ya know chunkin out haha. 

 he's just our happy guy.

we love him so.

new favorite thing he does.

and is still very bald :]

 avery your the best.

sunday.

 i love being a mommy.

it's just the best job.

 sunday we were feeling fancy so we took some photos.

i love my life.
 i feel very blessed.

baseball.

summer includes:

staying up late.

baseball games.

yummy treats.

swimming.

friends.

family.

trips.

weddings.

and lots more.

bear lake.

summer is the best for going places!

we usually go to bear lake each summer.

it's actually where me and drew met.

this time however we did it a little different.

always fun and sentimental though :]

haha also don't mind avery's crazy eye brows.

and awkwardly short sweatshirt. 

 so what was different is we went with drew's dad instead of mom.

where we stayed in condos instead of camped. 

can you see the beautiful lake behind them haha.

 this little bubbly baby is full of little coos latley.

it's kinda the cutest.

 gotta get that grandpa in there.

i think avery loves his daddy like drew loves his.

which is very much.

 hahaha then this happned.

we did a little morning ride.

avery's first time in his life jacket/ on a boat!

he clearly loved it.

haha actually slept 92% of the time.

it was quite chilly so we bundled.

 then did some wakeboarding.

i can only get up.. but i call that a huge accomplishment haha.

 oh grandpa holding the baby backwards :]

 drew loves wake boarding.

this is either his face of excitement or pure freezing!

the water was ice.

literally.

 he's also kind of amazing.

oh beautiful bear lake.
