Life according to Avery

Billy: What do you want for breakfast, Avery?

Avery: Oak Milk

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Who else is excited about the Olympics? I haven't missed much this year so far. I fell asleep last night during the pair short program...thank you to the person that invented DVR...I got all caught up over breakfast!

Billy and I did some yard work this morning...he is still out there working. Spring is coming so we needed to get the overgrowth trimmed back. So much rain this season...it's going to get really green here over the next month or so. Then *sigh* the nice weather will turn into 100+ days of dry, hot hell and everything will turn brown. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this place? I am really working on it. I got this great book about all the fun stuff to do in California. Now we just have to win the lottery so we can afford to do it.

I got my hair done. So far I am loving it. It is pretty dark...I wanted to go back to my natural color...and it has been light or some variation of light for so long that it was pretty shocking.

But here I am....In all my natural glory.

Smartest 2 year old ever...

So here she is...helping Billy with his Algebra homework.

Look out Harvard!

Don't Drink the Water

Avery: [pointing to her fingers] Look Mom! I'm pickling!

Me: Don't you mean wrinkling?

First Snow

Went to Tahoe this weekend. What a blast...Avery got to get out in the snow for the first time...we got to stay in an amazing house...went sledding...I got to drive with chains on...And we all survived.

We hope this is the first of many more trips up the mountain....

Randomness

So as many have guessed, I have not been faithful to my blogger account.

Facebook is so much easier. I can't believe I waited so long to go to facebook.

Anyway, Avery's terrible twos are definitely upon us. I spoke with her teacher this morning re: an incident over the weekend at Big 5 Sports that went something like this:

Me: "Where's Avery?"

Billy: "I thought she was with you!"

Me: [expletive]* "AVERY! AVERY!"

I am frantic now, running through the store when I hear:

Avery: [laughing] "Momma...Momma...Find me"

Me: "Avery...Please don't run off from Momma and Daddy. Something could happen to you. You could get lost and that would make me very sad."

Avery: "STOP HITTING ME!!!"

What the???

According to her teachers, it is great that she is using her words.

NOT.

Another recent favorite:

Avery:[whining] "LEAVE. ME. AH-LONE!" This is my favorite at 630am when we are late and she doesn't want to get out of bed.

So much angst. So moody. And she's barely 2.

Give me strength.

Save the Chicken!

Avery: MOMMY, MOMMY, my chicken! HELP
Me: Your chicken? Don't you mean kitchen?

Fodder

So it's obvious I haven't updated the blog since October...Sorry. I'll give you the 30 second version of the past 6 weeks:

Went Trick or Treating...Avery was a Cheerleader. University of Texas, of Course!




Went to a fabulous wedding...Congrats Brandon and Sarah!



Celebrated Avery's second birthday...I can't believe it either!

Had a GINORMOUS inspection at work--Wing got an Outstanding.

Went to Orlando for a Week. Visited with Jason and Paige, Brooke and Peighton. Also went to Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios.






Had Thanksgiving with the Lewandowski's...Best.Fried.Turkey.Ever!

Went to our first Christmas Party of the season last weekend. Party number 2 next weekend...party number 3 on the 16th.

So we have been busy. Just a little bit.

What a good life.
