Av Hates Cereal

We've been trying for several months now and Avery just doesn't like cereal. I admit we haven't been as consistent as we should be but it takes an hour to get her to eat 5 bites! Any advice???

Avery Rolls Over

Gingerbread Houses

Tonight we made Gingerbread houses. Evan's airplane turned out so good. I'm on a sugar high from all of the frosting, my mom makes the best frosting!

Can't hardly wait til Christmas! Evan's parents are coming in from Iowa and we haven't seen them for too long. Avery hasn't even met Opa & Uncle Jay yet. She will love them.

Is there anything better than Christmas?!?

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are so grateful for a healthy baby and for everything we've been blessed with this year!

Love, Niki & Evan

First Halloween

Avery was only 3 weeks old on Halloween and she slept through the entire party but even so, it was her first!



We went to my parents and ate chili & fondue.


Cheese fondue.....


and chocolate fondue for dessert...


Evan decked out as Lance Armstrong, it was pretty funny.


Corey as Green Man


and Dylan & Maddy as Coke & Diet Coke



I can't believe it's November!

Our Other Baby

Maverick turned 2 last week! I found this picture of him when he was about 2 months and took the other picture on his b-day. He is HUGE. He got the big bone for his b-day.
