Blueberry Eyes!

Avery's eyes look just like blueberries. They look like this no matter what color clothing she wears. So pretty!

After a few days of hesitation, Avery decided she wanted to check out the tunnel.
Buddies.
Yes, the shirt reads true.

Raab Critters @ Freudenfest

3 out of the 6 Raab kids eating icecream at the Oldenburg Freudenfest in Indiana. It's a great time for kids and adults - check it out if you're ever in Southeastern Indiana!

Tunnel Fun

Hey Daddy, Avery's learning how to say "Heay" like you and Brandon!
"Yeah, I got Avery's bink. So What?!"
You know Avery's sleepy, when she lays down in the middle of the floor.
What could have Avery so upset?????

Yep, it's this little guy. Tickle Me Elmo was not a big hit for Avery on this day. Chance was not a fan either!

Happy 1st Birthday Chance!

What the heck is this?!

Yay, I'm one!
And, I'm sleepy!

What could they be watching?
"Oh no CJ, this is the intense part. Hold my hand!"
"Here Avery, let me help you to your seat."
"Um, I think I'd like to sit in this one instead."
More intensity.

Is swinging this early in the morning, making someone sleepy?
Uh-oh, looks like her eyes might shut. Nope, she's awake!
Or is she?

When I made CJ's cupcakes, this one turned out to look like Elmo!
CJ hanging out with Brandon.

Talking with "Gabby"

CJ spent an afternoon talking to Gabrielle. He acts just like a grown up on the phone. So funny.

Happy 2nd Birthday CJ!

The Birthday Boy
Stirring the cupcake batter.
Mmm, I'd really like to eat this right now.
Party Girl
Getting ready to blow out his candles.
He got one, one more to go!
Avery, tired of waiting, tries to help.
Yay!! He did it.

Hee hee. This lady gave us cupcakes filled with sugar! Can you believe it?! She's gonna be sorry in about an hour!!!
The best attempt to capture them all together.
It's my birthday, and you will wear this hat little brother.
Avery's had enough of this party.
