Fun in Phoenix

This last weekend Avery and I went to my sister Alex's baby shower in Phoenix. It was mostly a surprise I think. At any rate we had a good time and got to see a lot of family. Aunt Dianne got to see Avery for the first time, and we saw Aunt Joanne too of course. Avery also got to see her "other grandma." (Aunt Liz who sounds just like my mom, and I think it confuses the crap out of Avery.) You will also see that we had a good time modeling the new baby sling that Alex got, and Avery had a good time with her Uncle Brad. We can't wait until Christmas when we get to see everyone again, and the new baby girl Geary.

Thanks UHEAA!

This week I got a letter from UHEAA or Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority saying that they forgave me the remaining $600 on one of my student loans as a way of thanking me "for taking care of your loan obligation in a diligent manner." I thought this was pretty cool because I didn't even know they did that. So thanks Utah you must not mind too much when I rag on you pretty much any chance I can.

Avery Walking!

Here is some footage of Avery and her newest trick! She's not quite an expert, but she is getting there. (I used youtube so you can use full screen mode.)

Congratulations Daryl!

Daryl got this sweet Associates in Arts degree in the mail on Saturday from everyone's favorite community college: Green River. Now Daryl can start getting some of that respect that comes with getting an AA.

I'm normal!

That's right I'm normal, and I know it because my Wii told me so. I(as in Rachel) got out my Wii balance board and when it calcualted my BMI it put me in the normal range for the first time ever since we bought it shortly after Avery was born. Yeah, so I'm in the normal range and I'm pretty happy about that.

Avery Montage - Your the best!

Ok so now I'm having even more fun with windows movie maker. With Avery's 1st birthday just a few months away we thought it would be a good idea to make a 80's montage of her first year. This is my first attempt, but It is not the final video. I have started work on the offical video, but it has a long way to go.

Enjoy!
