Gatlinburg Trip (Nov. 2008)

It has taken me two weeks to write about our trip to Gatlinburg, sorry about that. I have been sick ever since we came back, for 2 weeks now.
We enjoyed ourselves on the trip. We met up with some of my friends from Memphis and stayed in a nice 3 story cabin, equipped with a hot tub and indoor heated pool, which we enjoyed. We never actually made it into the smoky mtns. It was very cold and wet while we were there, we stayed mostly in downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We went to the Aquarium of the Smokies and shopped mostly, but had fun . Our trip was cut short though as all 3 of us were sick and not sleeping well at night.
It was relaxing at the cabin as well. The most important part of the trip is that Avery did soooooo well riding in her carseat for a 21 hour round trip. She is such a good lil girl.

No potty !

Well, this past week has been crazy for us. With the election and me starting to work more shifts now that Avery is older, time is really flying.
There is a video I need to post on here, it is too cute. Avery is in the habit of taking off her diapers, so we decided to put her on the potty chair to see if she is ready to start potty training. She was compliant 2 times then after that she doesn't want to have anything to do with it. The video is of her standing in the bathroom looking at the potty and she says "potty" and shakes her head no and says "no, no, no" . It really is too cute, if I had to guess I'd say that she doesn't like it b/c its probably cold to her bottom. I have to have stephen walk me through how to put a video on the website, I tryed and couldn't get it to work.
This coming week we will be going on vacation to Gatlinburg, smoky mountains. I can't wait, I just hope that we have enough things planned to keep Avery busy and entertained. I don't want a cranky butt on vacation with us, haha. When we get back from vacation I will post some pictures then.

Trick or Treating

We had so much fun trick or treating on Friday night, it has taken me a while to post b/c I worked all weekend and was unable to download the pictures.
As you can see by the pictures I dressed up like Avery, we were both butterfly fairies, very girlie, but cute. She was too scared to walk up to the doors herself, so Stephen and I took turns carrying her door to door. We had a lot of fun, as it started to get colder outside, we called it a night and came home for Avery to get her bath and go to bed at a reasonable time, she was a trooper though.
Enjoy the pics.
