My mom found this cute little dance outfit for Avril. I couldn't resist turning on the music and letting her go wild. She just looks so cute! Here are some videos and pics I took from our dance party:
Avril has figured out how to talk on the phone without using her hands. This results in a Frankenstein-ish look as she walks around with her arms outstretched.
Today was a mission farewell for my cousin Brian, so lots of the family got together at Grandma and Grandpa Parkinson's house afterward for lunch. Avril always loves visiting their house because they have so many fun things for kiddos to do.
One of Avril's favorite things to do is read. She rarely passes up an opportunity for a good book read.
What's worse than losing your keys? Losing your keys in an enormous warehouse like Sam's Club! As I was walking out of Sam's Club, I looked down at my cart and saw my wallet sitting there, all lonely, missing it's normal companion- my keys! I double checked my pockets, checked through all the food, and the keys were nowhere to be found!
I tried to stay calm and decided to ask the lady at the door if she could watch my cart while I retraced my steps. First, I asked the customer service desk if they'd had any keys returned. Nope, that would be too easy! Next, I checked with the cashier who'd checked me out just minutes earlier, and had no luck there. Finally, I started retracing my steps through the store, with Avril in tow on my hip. It was hopeless, I was never going to find my keys. I held back the tears and was ready to start panicking and call my hubby for help getting home.
As I was leaving the store, I stopped by the customer service desk once more. I asked the lady once again, "Has anyone returned any keys?" Right after Avril heard the word "keys," she shouted out, "KEYS!" and pulled her arm out from behind my back, holding my keys in her hand. She'd had them the whole time! What a relief :) That crazy kid! Gotta lover her!
My cousin Wendy and her husband Trent Tripple, came to visit all the way from Virginia. Avril enjoyed spending time with her 2nd cousins: Townsend, Tayzlie, and Tennessee.
