We celebrated Avery's 3rd Birthday at the zoo wildlights on Saturday. All 18 of us from the Jones side and Ebright side ventured out in the crowd and the cold. It was a tad crazy but it was fun.

Mason fell asleep eating from partying too hard celebrating Avery's 3rd Birthday

Celebrating At Abbott's Christmas kid fest!

Avery and Mason hanging out in the back of the car while daddy ties the tree to the top.

How can you resist this. Mason has two teeth and he loves to smile and show them off. They are on the bottom blocked by his lip.

Avery did great with Santa and Ms. Clause. Mason was just curious.

Mason helped decorate the tree in his little santa hat.

Mason on his first thanksgiving. He ate so many sweet potatoes he got a sugar high and couldn't fall asleep until nearly midnight

We have had unbelievable weather in November and have enjoyed many weekends at the Zoo. Here is Avery and Mason at the tiger exhibit.

Avery enjoying the elephants. The elephants are one of her favorite exhibits since there was a baby elephant born in March and we spent most of the spring at the zoo.

Mason on the Carousel at the Zoo. We went to opening night of the wildlights exhibit in November

Mason had a bad week this last week. He came down with the nasty H1N1. After 5 days of tamiflu and a lot of Pedialyte, and some Xopenex breathing treatments he is doing a lot better and much happier. He gave us a scare running fevers as high as 104!


Avery got a bag full of dress-up clothes from her cousins this last past week and is so excited! She has dressed up as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Cinderella! She has all kinds of new jewelry and hats and even high heels! She is stylin'

We have had an unusually warm November and have even been able to enjoy days at the park and even a bike ride on the weekends! And we thought the park season ended after daylight savings since it is dark when we get home.

Mason Enjoying his cereal

Haloween at Cosi in Kidspace. Mason enjoyed the games and the water station. Avery got her face painted for the very first time. We didn't wash it off all weekend. She loved it the lady even put glitter on it.

Avery dressed as a ladybug on trick or treat. She thought it was so cool each house gave her candy she kept asking if she could go to another house. She made it an hour and half and then she couldn't wait to get home and open her candy. Mason was so snug in his Monkey outfit he slept the entire time, but we showed him off as the sleeping monkey.

Boo at the Zoo Avery dressed as a sock hop girl. She had pink sparkle shoes which were her favorite.

Fall Fest in UA they had a corn box that Avery enjoyed playing in and lots of fun jumpy things. Avery and I even did an opstical course and then she did a huge slide that slid into a ball pit all by herself. Mason slept the entire time warm and snug in his stroller. That night on Fox News Avery made her first appearance on TV! Going down a slide. We were so proud

Our first football game as a family OSU vs. Navy. Avery loved campus and really wanted to go see the buckeyes play. But she settled for the short buckeye tailgate bus. It was a hot weekend.
