my sweet little family: July 2016

Shrek, weekend TWO

10:18 PM

Another weekend! Avery wanted to take a pic with the fake Gingy!

The 3 Fionas!

my favorite Fiona

Our sweet friend from Audrey went to the show on Friday night, so Avery and Anya gave her some spare flowers from Fiona's bouquet! She loved them!

Bapa, Nana, Liv, Finn and I went to the show on Saturday night! Finn sat through the whole thing, even though he was freaked out after seeing Donkey and Shrek!

Today, was the last day. I'm going to miss the summer taking these two to practice!

Our great pals came to the show today, and Avery found some more flowers to give out!

Today's show was probably the worst of the 6. A large prop fell on Avery's head in the first scene, and it kind of rattled her up a bit. Luckily, she was back to herself when she had to be back on stage! whew! :)

Still waiting to get a ton of more pics from the show! :)

Last week of July

It's always fun to go to the doctor and sit in the office with a toddler, right? At least I kept him out of the sink this time!

We've been doing a lot of this, but have also taken a bit of a break with all the time we've been busy at Shrek! Once I recover, then I think we'll dive back in!

I shaved Finn's hair, and, well, this is how it looks....it's OK, just don't look too close!

Nana Dianne and Bapa Craig came up on Thursday to see Avery's show over the weekend. Finn and "Ap-pa" were together non-stop! Bapa took him to the park over and over, and they were outside non-stop! :)

Bapa taught him thumbs up :)

And here is Bapa Craig trying to figure out how to take a selfie with Finn....ha!

Celebrations!

1:24 PM

Daddy's family came to town to see Avery in her Shrek performance! It just so happened to be Nana Judy and Bapa Ron's 45th Wedding anniversary, too! So, we had to celebrate that a bit as well!

Happy happy Anniversary! When I told Avery that they had been married 45 years, she said "that's so impressive". When I told Liv, she said "woah....30 years would be enough!" silly girl!

While they were all at Shrek, I stayed home and watched Finn and Christian! They had a fun little time together! :)

Shrek Musical!

1:22 PM

Our lives have been quite busy the last week or so in preparation for the opening of Shrek! Avery is playing Teen Fiona, which is such a dream role for her. She's also part of the ensemble playing a villager and a Duloc Dancer :)

I attended practice a couple of weeks ago, just to check out the progress....
