Memorial Weekend 2009

My sister Misty & cousin Kristen came to visit for Memorial Weekend. Avery & Ace went to the beach for the first time & they definitely enjoyed it. We found a great beach spot on Friday & went back on Saturday. We also hung out some in Port Aransas. On Sunday, we went to the Rockport Wine Festival. Fun weekend...thanks for visiting, girls!

Some of these photos are courtesy of Aunt Misty...she loves to take pics of Avery just as much as I do!

Love my Aunt Misty so much!








Avery Alyn is 6 Months Old Already!

Sorry that this post is a week late but we have been on the go & I can't seem to find the time for blogging...

I can't believe that our sweet girl is already halfway to her first birthday! I have to admit that I am a little sad about this. Avery continues to amaze us each day with her adorable personality. How did we get so lucky? :) She has been trying out baby food & seems to like green beans the best. Her Daddy has been working with her on crawling...she is so close! She loves her exersaucer & the TV remote. Lately, she has been sleeping for about 10-11 hours at night. Nice! At her check up last week, she weighed 18 lbs. 8 oz. & was 27 in. This puts her in the 90th percentile! Healthy girl!



Definitely Daddy's Girl


She already knows how to saw "I love you!"


Going to the Hooks game


Hmmm...not sure I like squash!

Taxi Fam

Last Saturday, I had the chance to taxi around in the T-34 plane that Jake flies when training his students & be a VT-28 "Ranger" for a day. WOW...I thought I appreciated what he did before but after that day, my appreciation went way up for all of the instructors!! The plane looks small from the outside but it's even smaller once you get in. If you are claustrophobic, don't even think about getting inside! They are equipped with air conditioning but it's definitely not like the air in your car. The flight suit was comfortable but HOT & we aren't even in the heat of South Texas summer yet! So, hats off to all of the instructors & their students! Anyway, it was a fun ride...I got to "drive" the plane & also communicate with the tower.

Our little pilot...just like her Daddy!


Avery hung out with Dad...
