Birthday, Camping, and Walking for a Cure

Whew, we have had a busy November, and it has already almost flown by! The month started off with Ms. Aleta's birthday. The morning before her party, Avery signed her card. Thinking about what to write...Ms. Aleta and her baby girl
Me and my baby girl
Yummy Chantilly Cake!
Avery loves her Mimi
We had a nice little celebration. We grilled steaks, had twice baked potatoes and mushroom.
The next week we got to visit with Josh, Jonnilin and Julian. They stayed at our house two nights and we all had a great time. Julian found our Easter Eggs.
Avery enjoyed playing with them too!
He also had fun with my sunglasses :) He is such a sweet boy!
We also went camping while they were in.
Grandma got to spend some quality time with her boy
It was a beautiful campground in Madisonville.
And it was also a great place to spend quality time together without a lot of distractions. Avery got to hang out with her Aunt Jo and Uncle Josh
Josh also built us great campfires every night.
I had both of my babies contained :)
Uncle Josh is funny and he sounds like Donald Duck!
I got to love on my Juju too!
Josh was able to stop by after work and was dying for a smore. Unfortunately we didn't have any sticks or hangers to roast the marshmallows on, so my ingenious husband improvised another way.
They came out perfect!

Saturday November 13 was the Juvenile Diabetes Walk for a Cure. Our family has been severely impacted by the disease, it has affected my cousin Jason and nephews Joey and Julian. We wanted to support the cause and our family. Here is our team. (wow, I JUST realized there is an orb floating in the front of the picture...I guess my daddy was there with us too!)

Me and my baby girl before the walk.
The kiddos ready to go.
Here is Julian's team sign. We love you Juju!
Josh and his mini me after the race.
Avery after the race. She was so cute, I tied the balloon to her stroller, but she still held onto it like it was going to float away.
We have had a great November! There was definitely a lot of family time and it means so much to me that Josh and I have such amazing family on both sides. Although we don't get to see all of them as often as we would like, it is very important for us for Avery to grow up in a large, close, supportive family. I will try to do a Thanksgiving post soon!
