Happy Birthday Avery!

Today my ornery little boy turned 8 years old! Avery is the child that my dad said not to have. He always told me not to have more than two or the parents would be outnumbered! Don't get me wrong, my Dad adored Avery, he was just giving me a hard time. What to say about Avery Jacob? Well, he was named after the little boy in Charlotte's Web, I absolutely love his name! He is so ornery and is all boy. He can be such a toot to his older sister and brother and then in the same second have such a huge heart for his little sister. He is a wonderful big brother to her. Avery loves sports, especially baseball and was thrilled that he got to play a game on his birthday! He seems to always "forget" when he did something that he wasn't supposed to. Drives me nuts! He also throws everything. I mean everything! It also makes me nuts! I have had to get more things off of my ceiling and ledges it's not even funny. If you can't find something, most likely Avery has thrown it and now it is behind the couch, in the couch, on the ceiling fan or down a heat register. He is a delight and I am very proud of him even though, as my dad always said "has me outnumbered!" Happy Birthday Avery!!

These are pictures that Avery took of Addy, he found her asleep in her highchair while I was getting ready for his game!!
