Avery’s Birthday

Saturday was Avery’s third birthday…Its crazy to think that she is three already…She was born at 6:52pm weighing 7lbs 30z. and was 19.5” long…Three years ago on the 20th we had our sweet Avery Joy. Little did we know our world was going to change that day. Some might think for the worse but for us it changed for the better. I still remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. I think will always remember everything about that day on her birthday. The ups and downs of it all, the head on collision with the brick wall….The whys and what ifs?? The pity party for myself, all the tears and the phone call with my dad…thanks Dad It helped more than you know:) But I had to go through all of that. I wouldn’t change a thing about my sweet Avery Joy….JOY, that is what she brings to our life and our family.  God doesn't make mistakes he knew what he was doing when Avery was born and I thank God everyday for giving us such a wonderful blessing!! I love you Dolly and Happy 3rd Birthday!!! 
"God doesn't give children with special needs to strong people; He gives children with special needs to ordinary, weak people and then gives them strength. Raising a child with Down syndrome doesn't TAKE a special family, it MAKES a special family."

Remember me asking you all what  I should do about her cake bc she doesn't like cake, cookies, ice cream or anything like that.….well  I did a Circus cake and that way she could have a lollypop for her birthday:)

My circus cake..what do you think???  It was suppose to have them big swirly lollypops on the top but I couldn't find them anywhere!!!

 
She enjoyed her lollypop too:))

 
Ooh a baby!!!  And the baby started to talk to her so she is trying to figure her out..Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Guderian for the baby doll:)

Brielle, Avery, & Destiny
 
Destiny is such a nice big sister..she read Avery’s cards to her:)

Avery and Brielle having a tea party.

Destiny made Avery a present(a book that she wrote) and she is helping her open it here..
It read pg 1 Avery is my sister..she is cute..she has cute clothes…. pg 2-Avery is fun and nice… I hope she learns a lot…. pg 3-Avery lets you play with her…pg 4-Avery has Down Syndrome. It is harder for her…pg 5- I love her very much..
Isn’t that the sweetest book ever..I love it!!:)
  

Avery loving her shoes that she got…and vacuum….since she follows mine all around when i try to vacuum I figured she would really like one..and she loves it!!  It even makes sounds…how cool is that!!

I bet she wishes she listened to me now when I told her to put her shoes on..she was not liking the grass at all:)
 

Picture Post

This is a busy week for us...On Thursday it is our 10 year anniversary..WOW!! 10 years..we are suppose to be in Hawaii..hehe!! but i guess that wont be happening bc of the twins so maybe next year;) (We have always said that on our ten year anniv we would go to hawaii).. and then Avery's bday is on Saturday..there will be a post coming on that..just a question what would you give or make for someone on there birthday that dont like cake, cookies, bars or anything sweet??? Yeap that is Avery and I dont know what to do for her bday since she dont like any of that...and this time last year was pretty tough if you all remember its when I had my miscarriage..Looking on it today it is amazing how God works!! He saw me through the storm and blessed us with two babies. THe other sunday the sermon really hit home for me..I felt like he was talking just to me..dont u just love them sermons:) Anyways just thought i would share a little...Pastor Raymond was talking about storms in our life..as we are going through the storms in life sometimes we dont know why we are going through them storms but it might be to help someone else later on..well after church i started thinking about some of the storms that i have gone through. After I had my miscarriage a couple months later there was a girl that i knew had a miscarriage and i used my experience to share some insight and feeling and just listened bc i understood!! Well anyways she told me that it really helped her.. I was very happy that i could be some help. So did God give me that miscarriage to help her?? well who knows and really i dont really need to know why i had a miscarriage. But it sure does make u look at some of your storms different. At least it does to me!! Have u thought that some of your storms in your walk of life were to benefit others???

If you havent checked out The Peppered Pantry you all are missing out. I have been asked to become a contributor so I am feeling very honored:) Thanks Holly and Michelle!! There are alot of quick and easy recipes over there..and they are all good:))


Just thought I would post some pics... beware there are alot;)


This is usually about how I put them at nap time and bedtime...notice how far apart they are...


And this is how I find them..they inch over until they are touching:D

Avery helping me fold some laundry:D

Check out her folded pile:P, and taking to talk to Jayla!
Giving Jayla some kisses!!!

Avery trying to take the diaper off!!

Looking at me to see if I was looking at her and to get my reaction to see if she should be doing it!

This girl LOVES books..but at least I got her hair done..I can read her a book while I am doing her hair and then she will sit still long enough to get her hair done;)

Jared hooked the babies up;) This is while I was TRYING to make supper..I cant wait for a couple more weeks in hopes that they will be alot better!!! It is very trying to have TWO crabby colicky babies ALL the time...

Little Miss Avery

Little Miss Avery up to no good:)) Can u tell she watches her mommy??? She is applying powder make up and knows exactly what to do!!






What do you think of her flower headband that I made??? (Avery must not of liked it though bc she took it off and hid it from me...I cant find it anywhere. I have searched my whole house.Little stinker!!)
