Pictures from earlier in the month
A few weekends ago Avery went to the Farmer's Market with me one morning. Here she is in her cute strawberry shirt.

Becky Getting Graduation
Olivia has 'written' several books lately and one of them was 'Momma gets graduation'. Hehe, I loved her books - they were awesome. Can we put in a request?
My Sister Becky graduated from the University of Alabama nursing school this past Saturday. We are so proud of her! I know they are so happy to be done with school and they can all get working and moving along with their plans.
Friday night when we got in we went to Dreamland BBQ and had yummy ribs. There were 15 of us, so we had to wait a long while. I took a few pics, but they all turned out really dark. My external flash didn't work too well with the black ceiling tiles.
Becky's graduation was a 9AM on Saturday, so we go up eeeearly and headed over. Again, the photos were not that great, most were really blurry. After the commencement we went to Depalma's Restaurant (where Becky & Matt both have worked) http://www.depalmasdowntown.com/ and had a nice meal. What a great family weekend. Even though the drive was long, we are so very glad that we made the trip.

April 24th Wedding Anniversary
Last week was our 9 year wedding anniversary. We decided to stay low-key this year and take Avery to the park and have a picnic. I picked up some cheese, bread and fruit and a bottle of wine and we headed out to a park close to the water to play for a few hours. Here are some pictures from our evening.
The is the 'play dead' routine
She is testing us! I think it's kind of funny, actually.
She's pretty good at throwing the Frisbee
She thought the Frisbee was going to land in the water

Another beach trip
We packed up early and headed out last Saturday to the beach. Avery LOVES the beach and was so excited to go again. This time we took equipment - an umbrella, toys and beach chairs. Scott spent about hour body surfing while we played in the sand. We met Jay and Michelle at a local restaurant, had lunch and then put their boat in the Intercoastal and headed south, then back north up to St. Augustine. It was the best day, but the sun really wiped us all out. By the time we got the boat out of the water it was 9PM and we were all beat. We got home about 11PM and I could have slept 15 hours, but instead we woke up Sunday AM and cleaned out one of those construction storage trailers we had gotten during the house renovation. It was no fun shuffling stuff around in the heat of the day, but it's cleaned out and almost all put away, so we can save $100 a month and make our back yard look a little less junky.
We had planned to go back to the beach this weekend - Scott wanted to do some fishing, but I think we have decided to stay closer to home and maybe try to take Avery canoeing on the river instead.

Weekends are too short
It's late Sunday night and I need to be in the bed, but I am reviewing pictures from the weekend. We had a nice weekend. Saturday Avery and I went to the zoo while Daddy worked in the yard (big surprise!).
Saturday night we had some friends over for dinner - we made shrimp tacos with homemade salsa and guac. Mmmmm. I started working on the Italy DVD, but didn't get far. I promise I'll get to it. Why can't the weekends be longer?!
Today we got up and had a nice breakfast outside - Scott took Avery out and I met up with my friend Laura and we went to a opera at UF. We went to a late brunch before the show at Paramount Grill. How wonderful. The opera was really funny and very enjoyable. I think we need to get Avery to more musical/recitals at UF. Even if we only stay a few minutes at a time. I know she would enjoy it.
After I got home, we hopped back in the car and went to watch the last 30 minutes of Yousseff's soccer game and they WON! Yay, Yousseff. They're now in the semi-finals.
Yousseff in action.
Victory smile.
Avery got bored at the game and decided to jump off Daddy.
This is our new challenge....anytime you ask Avery to do something she says some form of 'no' and then puts herself in this 'play dead' position.
D-R-I-V-E-S
U-S
N-U-T-S!!!
Any advise would be appreciated. *sigh*
