So today was a long day.....6:00 a.m. wake-up, Farmer's Market and 2 weddings to deliver. Finally home by 5:30.
Mom made dinner and Avery was starting to wind down around 7:00. I started loading up the truck while mom and Avery ran around outside. The more tired Avery gets the harder it is for her to walk, concentrate pretty much any task is challenging. Then it happened in slow motion. Avery was looking down at her feet as she walked and mom and I both gasp as she walked start into my truck and wiped out. I knew she wasn't hurt because she didn't hit it that hard, but we instantly begin laughing.....Sorry Avery! This is a Whaley trait.....I guess there could be worse traits, right?
Tomorrow we are off to the Fair for some fun! I know Avery will love all the animals (aka dogs-everything right now with 4 legs is a dog).

Bad Habits & Bruises
This week Avery got her first really UGLY bruise on her check right where her dimple is. We aren't exactly sure what happend, but she woke up with it and we are assuming it happened during one of her many tumbles from the day before. :(
Wednesday night Avery and I stopped by my parents to eat dinner. Avery loves to feed the dogs. Which means dropping her food from the high chair to the floor. Josh and I have been trying to break her of this bad habit. We are failing miserablly and Wednesday night was no exception. Avery looked directly at me while telling her "NO, You are making a mess" for the 3rd time only to have her smirk this time and do it again. All the sudden I hear a snicker from behind me. Nana is behind me and can no longer contain her laughter and burst out laughing and tears are coming down her face from laughing. Yes, thanks for the support..... Needless to say the majority of Avery's dinner the dogs ate because she loved the reaction from Nana!!!!
Will try and capture this smirk sometime soon on camera. This weekend the fair starts and we can't wait for all the food, 4H friends and activities!

Long Holiday Weekend!
The 4th of July was on Wednesday this year so I decided to take the rest of the week off. I had nothing planned and that is what made the idea so appealing.
We spent the 4th at Jenny's swimming and grilling out and that evening was spent in the AC relaxing. Thursday, Avery and I went to get her some new books and a trip to Target (our favorite spot). That evening my parents watched Avery for us so we could go out. Kelsey, Emily and I went out for sushi and then for drinks at the grill bar. Stanely was out which is a rare occasion! Stanley worked on our family farm my whole life up until he had a stroke my freshman year in college. It was a Perfect Night!
Friday, we ventured out to Monkey Joe's. Avery loved the bounce house, but next time bring other kiddos with us....this momma is to big to get in and "pretend" to be young. Saturday we went to market and sweated our a**** off!!! We then headed to Bloomington for a baby shower for Katie Sparks. All the cousins got to play together and it is soo much fun watching them.
Sunday- Mom, Avery and I froze corn. Josh was working so we hoped for the best with Avery not having 100% of our attention today. Well, I think we did ok....she only fell out of the chair once(ouch), smashed her finger a half dozen times, smashed goldfish, blueberries requiring sweeping 3 times, bumped her head on the table once and unrolled one roll of toilet paper. She did a great job at keeping herself busy. Good thing we don't mind messes! We ended the evening with Ritter's so all were happy!
Back to work.....UGH!

Overnight at Great Grandpa's
Pappaw Whaley has been having a hard time so last Saturday Mom, Avery and I went to stay with him. He has a terrible cough that kept us up in the middle of the night, but overall by the time we left on Sunday he was doing better. I was exhausted on Sunday from market, wedding and overnight in Bloomington, but was glad we went down.
This week is the 4th of July and Josh will be home most of the week and weekend so I decided to take 1/2 the week off to enjoy the week/weekend with Josh and Avery. I will make sure to post pictures after our week of adventures. God Bless America!!!
