Avery's First Halloween

Avery and I enjoyed the beautiful weather today. Jester came outside with us too! We all sat in the warm sun, just relaxin'.

A few minutes later, and she was out!

Her first outfit of the day said "Daddy's lil' Dear".

Besty, a.k.a "Donald's Gypsie"

This was at our 4th annual Halloween Party.

Avery's second outfit of the day. We won't discuss what happened to the first, although Avery thought it was quite funny. Her shirt says Baby's First Halloween!

She certainly has one of the prettiest smiles around town!

"Hey, I'm trying to watch Barney here."

"Well, what's this? It looks like a trick or treat bucket. Mmmm, goodies."

"They've gotta be in here somewhere."

"Come out, come out wherever you are."

"No treats for me, just tricks!" ):

Cow Tails are GOOD.

Just chillin' with the cow.














Being cute as always.













Happy Girl.

OU Legacy

Happy after waking up from my nap.













Proud to show off the Ohio University Logo.














Okay, time to put the camera down and get Avery out of bed. She says, "enough already"!

Betsy's Birthday

"Excuuuse Me?"















Exploring the new "bead coaster" and loving it!





























HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETSY!

Ritter Family / Browns Game

Every year Brandon, his brothers, and their dad, go to a Browns game together. While they're away, the girls and kids get to hang out and have some fun! Here are some true life "Ritters Critters".

In the pictures, we have Will, Maddie, Reagan, Jack and Owen. The rest of the Ritter clan (not pictured) include: Jessiah, Haiven, Kamerin, Ally, Paul, George, and Hank! By January we will have one more (:

Avery, meet Owen...

During a Browns' weekend, we had some actual RITTER critters at our home. Avery was introduced to Owen, but wasn't quite sure what to think, especially since her Daddy was holding another baby!
Here, she looks a little bashful. Could it be that little Avery thinks big Owen is cute?!
I think we made a match!
Avery was getting ready to go home, but had to say her farewells to Owen.
Owen is thankful that he found a true friend in Miss Avery. He is praying that they will reunite one day!

Cool Girl

Harvard, here I come...

I am very smart for my age. I enjoy reading all types of literature, however, today I settled on a picture book.












Oh my goodness! This is absolutely fascinating. I can't believe it! She did what?!













I am teaching my babysitter all about bugs. (I don't think she is quite getting it.)













This is a b-u-t-t-e-r-f-l-y and...













this is a s-p-i-d-e-r. Got it?

Oh, I give up!
