They played Lots of games, sang songs and had a great Thanksgiving Lunch! She thought it was so cool being blindfolded playing, "Pin the Feather on the Turkey"! What a crack up it was watching her trying to walk all dizzy!
As you all well know.. Avery LOVES to sing and dance! So singing songs and doing the actions to them is right up her alley! :)
We went bowling with our Dear Friends, the Vernons. This was Avery's very first time bowling and she had a great time! Especially because her boyfriends were there! This is Avery with Charlie or Char Char as we call him.. whom she thinks she's going to marry! :) We LOVE Char!
Avery was such a goon! She takes bowling SO SERIOUS! "Why So Serious?" She's jump up and down with her hands in the air saying, "YES!" every time she knocked pins over! Then she'd go and give us ALL high fives and hugs! We just love our girl! :)
This is her other boyfriend, Robbie. Robbie is Chars twin brother.. even though they don't look like twins they are! They are some of my adopted kids! I am SO glad Preston has made such good friends.. and we kind of like them too! The WHOLE FAMILY!!!
Preston just hanging out.. enjoying getting his picture taken! NOT! ha! ha! He's just making him Mommy Happy!
This is Avery's Very FIRST Roll down the alley! As you can tell.. she's a Pro! You should see her on the WII! She kicks all of our butts! Literally!
Avery and her Bubba! He's such a good big brother.. always helping his little sis!
Ready.. Set.. ROLL!
Avery was also able to go to the Tree House Children's Museum with her Preschool class! She HAD to get on the Bull because she thinks she's going to ride a bull one day! What she doesn't know is.. this is as close to it as she's going to get! :)
She thought driving the Fire Truck was so cool! She loved thinking she was driving with sirens and going to help people!
These are the kids in her Preschool! Some of her besties are in this class!
Avery got to be part of the play they put on! She was the little kitty in the story about the chicken who needs help planting her garden and growing the seeds and harvesting the garden to make bread.. but no one wanted to help until she made the bread and then they all wanted to eat it! I can't remember the name of the story, but it was pretty funny! She actually got a little shy! I was kind of funny watching her act shy! Not her nature!!
Hey Kitty! Kitty!
Preston made the State Scout Team and had the opportunity to go to Peoria, Arizona over Halloween to play baseball at the Mariners/Padres Spring Training Stadium and play in front of lots of college and Major League Scouts! What a GREAT opportunity this was!
Avery loves to go out after Preston's games and help him put his stuff away! What a great helper! I love these two kids SO Much!
Preston up to bat! Pitcher has a Rubber Arm! Okay! So we don't yell that! He had a great hit at this at bat! He got a line drive out to left center for a double! Yeah!!

My Mom went with the kids and I to Peoria! What a ball we had! Preston played ball all day on Halloween and then they had a big Halloween party that night at the stadium. (Halloween was on Sunday this year so they celebrated Halloween on Saturday.) We stopped in Las Vegas on the actual Halloween day and night.. and boy was that an eye opener! ha! ha! Note to self and every one else... DON'T go to Las Vegas on Halloween if you have little kids!!! YIKES! ha! ha! You'll see ALL kinds of things walking around!

They even go to the same high school and now get to play school ball together too! Brody is another one of my adopted boys! His Dad has been one of Nick's Best Friends for 30 years! So they are more like family! :) Love these guys!
Avery the night before we went to Arizona! My Mom's ward had a Trunk or Treat the night before so we went and let Avery Trick or Treat. We weren't sure what there would be available in Arizona.. so we let her get in one of her Princess outfits and get some candy! So by the time the weekend was over.. she had more candy than she knew what to do with! That's when you say, "Hi Mr. Garbage Can!" ha! ha! Don't tell her that though!
Avery posing at the Trunk or Treat in one of her many princess outfits! Her Butterfly wouldn't have been warm enough for Utah! :)
Avery and Kierra posing after she let Avery put make up on both of them! What a great sport she is!

This is Shaylee and April before they left for the dance. We went to Lehi and stayed at their house so the kids could go to the dance.
