Sick little girl...

Avery has been sick for the last few days. She started with a fever Wednesday night and continued it for most of Thursday. By Friday she had blisters in her mouth and around her ankles, official diagnosis, Hand Foot and Mouth. No big deal, Rylee had it a few times when she was little so we know what to expect. Here's a picture from the first day of the fever, she spent most of the day either laying on our bed or laying on the couch.

Swim meet pics....

Rylee did awesome once again!! We swam against Amity A.C. and only lost by 16 points, it was an exciting meet! She swam the 25 meter freestyle and the 25 meter backstroke this week. She's getting pretty good at backstroke now that she knows how to use the backstroke flags to avoid hitting her head at the end. Here's a few pictures from the meet. Mommy raced again as well but we won't scare you with those pictures, lol!!

Getting ready for her first race..



After the race and still smiling!

Backstroke start, she can barely reach the bar to start!

Goofing off between races...

Sign me up, I wanna be on the swim team too!!

Blueberrry picking!!

I decided to take Miss Avery blueberry picking this morning while Rylee was at school. This was something new to me so I had no idea what to expect. Thank God I had sneakers on both of us because we had to walk way out into the orchard and the grass was still wet from the storm last night. All the way out Avery kept saying "I don't likea blueberries". (Yes the "a" is there for a reason, she adds an "a" on the end of some words). Well, her opinion changed as soon as she had her first fresh picked blueberry. I think she ate more than what she put into the bucket and she's been eating them ever since we got home. I have a feeling that I'm going to have a massive diaper mess to clean up later. I also have a feeling that Rylee will want to go later this week once she gets home and gets a taste. That's okay though because we already ate most of the berries picked this morning.



See mom, this is how you do it!



Working hard

Who needs a bucket when you have an empty belly to fill!
