Happy Birthday Avery!!!

Happy Birthday Avery!!! Last week was Avery's one year old birthday, and the parties just kept coming and coming. Her official birthday was on Friday, but the Elder's Quorum Camp-out was also that weekend. On Wednesday we had the kiddie party, and Avery got a parachute. Then on Thursday just the four of us went out for dinner. She loved the cheese fries, and sort of liked the cheese cake. Then on Sunday Jenn gave her a present from our family. It was around 25lbs of colored rice (see the movie below). We still need to open the presents from all of the rest of our family. We keep trying to do it with her, but she goes to bed so early. Soon she will have her final party with all the other presents. Basically it was Happy Birthday Avery Week. Thanks to all who sent gifts, and we promise she will open them soon.

Life is Good!!!

 This week we are going to show you some of the wonderful things we do with our free time. First off, back when Mark was in college he and his buddy Ian bought blue wigs to wear at BYU sports games. This wig has since made its way into the dress up box. One night for FHE the wig emerged and we spent a good half hour having a photo shoot. Enjoy.

Next up, Jenn decided she needed to make a little extra dough, and so she convinced three lovely children (Ellie, Maggie and Jane) to paint her a box which she could sale. If anyone is willing to pay 8 miles for this beautiful masterpiece please contact her directly. (watch the movie and you'll understand)

Hawaiian Visitor

This week we had an unexpected, but very welcome visitor. Grandpa Martell came in for his 60th high school reunion. He was staying up in Huntington Beach, and so on Saturday we jumped in the car and head on up. Upon first arrival Ellie has hesitant, but eventually she warmed up. The friend Grandpa was staying with had a playground out back and Ellie and Avery loved it. We decided that Ellie could have a career in gymnastics. Grandpa showered us with gifts, and we had a great time talking to him. He told us a little about the good old days, back when he was a football and track star. He is doing great, and was so excited to see us. We wish he lived closer so we could see him more often, but who wouldn't want to live in Hawaii?
