Aviendha strikes again!

So there we were, Nick was showing me stuff on the computer, Tekara was playing a game, and Aviendha was upstairs quietly watching a movie.... Or so we thought. Nick ran up stairs to go put Aviendha to bed when he found this:





Yes, this is an entire bag of flour. She had a snowflake ornament and there was flour sprinkled on our undecorated (thankgoodness) tree. She's been REALLY excited for snow. This took quite a while to clean up as the flour kept clogging up our vacuum.

Twilight, shmilight...

You'll have to click on the comic for the full view. I thought the books were somewhat entertaining.....



I'll still probably rent them, like I did the last time, but let's just say I'm not in a hurry :)

Hahahha

How to change your own diaper:

This picture speaks for itself. I decided to spare everyone the front view (as funny as it is) since this is not a private blog:



I was doing the dishes today when Aviendha decided she needed a diaper change. First step was to take off all her clothes. She found a pull up and put both her legs through one hole. Pulled it up. I found her dancing in the living room looking like this. She was so proud :)

Oh boy....

So I woke up one morning to this:

What's that stuff on her hands?

Nick left the eggs out on the table. Luckily she only cracked open one. Want to know why she didn't open more? She tried, but her hands were too slippery to get any more out! 8 of them remained unslimed because she gave up and decided to play some more in the one she managed to get out. Yeah, the Adventures of Aviendha are coming into full swing with all the electronics she's damaged and the stuff she's gotten into. We love her to death! What can you do but laugh and then teach?

Dress Up

Aviendha loves to play dress up. She put on her princess nightgown (backwards) and then piled some clothes on her head. Poor girl needs some hair! She played like this for quite a while, re-stacking things as they fell off her head. So cute :)

Petting Zoo

There was a petting zoo near the parade we went to this summer. Aviendha really is fearless. She walked right in and pet and hugged every animal she could get her hands on. She even kissed one (ugh!) but I didn't get a picture of it in time. I also hoped she wouldn't get worms or something. We washed her hands pretty thoroughly after we got done!





This last one is my favorite picture. We didn't know the little boy standing next to her but they both found the front of this rooster pretty interesting!

Summer Parade

Yeah, I'm such a procrastinator! Actually, we've had a TON going on since the middle of this summer so I don't feel too bad for posting these pictures. These are from Settlers Day Parade up in Deer Park. If you think you've seen a red neck parade, you haven't been to this one! Among the dozens of 4 wheelers and ponies pulling carts we have some real confusing and amusing additions that seem to have nothing to do with the theme:

The closest hooters is way out in the valley...this is saying a lot!

This is a large woman on one of those chair scooters...I'm not sure what the purpose was...

Yes, this is a truck pulling a boat. This wasn't the only one either.

My favorite gem is Spiderman on a lawnmower with a Spider Elmo strapped to the front.


This was a pretty fun parade for the Aviendha and she especially enjoyed hanging out with her Aunt Emmy! There was also LOTS of candy being thrown so that helped of course :) Overall the strange and unusual made this a fun parade to watch!

Stickers

I know, this is old but I realized I've been neglecting to get the pictures off my camera and post them. Here's one gem!


It's a good thing we got this picture because she doesn't seem to like putting stickers on anything anymore...

Little Joker

We had our ward trunk-or-treating party last night. After Aviendha's insanity after eating a few pieces last night we decided that we wouldn't be going out tonight. Nick gave her candy for breakfast this morning....yep, I was thrilled. Anyhow, she's been running around non-stop until she decided to tell us she needed to be changed. Yeah, she still refuses to sit on the potty. So, Nick is taking her pants off and he asks her (cause he can smell it) :

Nick: Are you poopy?
Aviendha: Nooooooo, I'm not poopy!
Nick: Yes you are! I can see it!
Aviendha: Hahahaha! Silly Baby! (referring to herself)

Yeah, she made a joke. She's been making attempts at jokes for a few days now.

Yesterday she was sitting on my lap facing me. The window was to my back. She pointed out the window and said "BIG Tiger!"

I looked out and said "There's no tiger out there silly!"

A car drove by just then and rolling her eyes she said "Oh, it's just a car!" Then she proceeded to laugh and slap her knee.

She's so funny! I can't wait for what's to come!

*Sigh*

Aviendha has been obsessed with the toilet lately. She loves throwing everything she can in it. Several times in the last week I've gone in to a full toilet. We've been trying to keep her out by keeping the door shut and the light off. Well, I made the mistake of leaving the door open and the light on a little bit ago (intending to return and shower) and within minutes the toilet was full of bath toys and she was happily dipping my phone in it. Yeah, she's resourceful! Luckily she hasn't discovered the combination of dumping and flushing. When she does though...we are in trouble!


My phone was pretty doused. I think that's number 3 for broken things around here. Last week Aviendha accidentally kicked a glass of water onto Nick's laptop. A broken car is pretty rad too. So if anything else sucky wants to happen I say: BRING IT ON! (while I'm still in the "everything is broken so why don't you break too" mode that is...)

Obama Address YouTube Copy

Here Kim, hopefully this works for you!

Change!

This SNL clip is pretty funny (and it's good to see people finally feeling like they can be critical of the president.)

Couldn't resist!

I know it's not true of all females, but in general, it's pretty accurate!
