Just thinking

I'm just thinking, that's all, and looking at Peeps take my picture. MayMay and Momma just moved our suitcases and backpacks from Peeps' Suburban to the curb. We go to Memphis. Then we wait. Then we fly to Little Rock. Then Daddy comes to get us. But right now, I'm at the PTI airport. Peeps and I are looking at each other. I know he loves me, and I love him. My heart and mind are filled with so many fun memories from this weekend. I want to stay...but I want to go. Is life always going to be like this? I just found out I get to be a big sister. So when? Where is the baby? More later when I figure out what big sister means. I also found out my newest cousin will be here in about a month. Well, it's time to get on board. I love you Peeps and MayMay.

MayMay's little boy fountain

One of the things my Peeps lets me do is to play in MayMay's fountain. Here I am splashing...hugging....kissing...and feeling all there is to do here at CTH. PS there was a BIG party going on for my Uncle Houst and Aunt Mimi and my soon to arrive cousin ---we don't know yet whether it will be a boy cousin or girl cousin---Susie(one of MayMay's bestest friends does this kewl thing called a ring test and it sez it will be a boycousin) Susie claims that she has a 50% chance of being correct. I don't understand percents yet but when she says it everyone smiles and some laugh so it must be something funny. Susie always likes to see me when she is around when I am. I call her Susie and she likes that I know her name. I think she is the one they say is like a second mama to my mama and my uncle Houst and I don't know how all that works but it must be kewl.

Avery convinces Mimi's friends that kids are fun

Here I am cruising the crowd of Mimi's and Houst's good friends from college who came over for a cousin shower. Kristen is holding me now with Hannah and Amy looking on. I am showing off how good I can be so all of them will have little ones soon. Amy and Brad have already joined the trend. Yea kids!

New Shirt Announces New Arrival

Wowsie Bowsie - What on earth does this mean. I don't know but Mommie and Daddy seem real excited and let me danace all around Baskin Robbins to announce the news!!!!!!!!! As usual - I am pretty happy - whatever it means-I'm guessing it will just mean more fun for me and the family. Posted by Averykins

HEY - How about this bike(my name for Peep's delux stroller). This is me and MayMay out for a little stroll. Peeps and the pups are with us too. They are taking our photo. I am looking at my feet, making sure they are in just the right position. Usually I like to put them up on the steering wheel. Camp Toad all is fun for all. All we do here is play-play-play. I heard my Peeps say this today ----"Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind.” Theodor Seuss Geisel

Did somebody call housekeeping????

Four huffs assemble just outside the makeshift gate announcing that today is brought to us by the number four (for four dogs) and the letter b (as in blackberry) and that they're reporting for "housekeeping" duty. Georgia Brown, the shortest houskeeper, is "locked and loaded" on the first target, a chunk of flat egg and a handful of Cheerios. The big dogs have not a clue what's going on, they mostly play "follow the leader." Georgia has somewhat of an advantage as she can skinny thruough the wire wickets, something these big dogs can't quite do.

World's smallest Egg McMuffin

Peeps shows Avery the world's smallest egg McMuffin, a 1/2" square piece of flat egg squished between two Cheerios. Avery pretty much hangs on every word her grandfather says, not knowing whether to believe him. Four dogs (drooling in background), await their turns at cleanup.

Peeps puts everyone to work

Hi Mommie Hi Daddy, Peeps is putting everyone at Toad Hall to work...you might want to stay down in the islands a little longer...Love, Avery

ps. note the time, he's making me work past my nap and the end of this yardwork isn't in sight!

HEY It's Saturday Morning 7:45 AM (Yikes, Am I Ever Up Early)

Last night Peeps and MayMay said - Avery, better go on to sleep 'cause we gotta go 'farmering' ??? at 7 tomorrow - and yes, breakfast will be on the fly - you may even go in your jammies. Well i wake up at 7 (on my own - first day since I have been at camp) and off we went - they did put on my coverall skirt just to make sure I would fit in! What fun we had - we saw huffs, friends, and yummy food (squash, corn, green beans etc) and blackberries - the biggest I had ever seen(they were weird through) Here I am with Peeps viewing a Huff Huff on our way in.

It's gonna be hard to top this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huff to the max

HighFivin with the Chick-Fil-A Cow----Need I say more than this. We followed the cow all over the parking lot with 1,000,000 huffs being said with shrills of laughter and many smiles...oops...is it bedtime yet? This is MUCH MORE fun than going to bed on time...which is highly overrated. We didn't miss it by too much and we had more fun than the legal limit.

Carolina Cafe - Time for dinner

Peeps and me and MayMay went inside for dinner during the concert to the Carolina Cafe at Friendly. We saw several friends of theirs and I showed off my teeth and toothiest smiles. We had turkey and the usual side items....pretzels, a couple of chips shh - don't tell my Mom and some SoyYo and SoyMilk of course. I can hardly wait to get back outside and see the ChickFilaCow(commonly known as a HuffHuffHuff) and all the people. I know many words now...MayMay Peeps Up Down Open Pool Boat Bike Huff MeMe Houst Stop Go & more i don't remember now

Somebody turned on the Bubble Machine

Beats taking a nap

Peeps and Avery are in the market for a tow-behind bike trailer, big enough to carry a couple of grandchildren, safe, and of course, good looking. Our Criteria? 1) Speed, 2) Price, and 3) Quality. First we checked out Cycles D'Oro. Then Performance Bicycle, where the Burley D'lite was on sale. But before we knew it, a hot bike caught our eye. You guessed it: Schwinn's Little Tigress!

It had to be the streamers because she went for them first. Peeps thinks four playing cards held on with four clothespins would be perfect.

New word for the day: Bike. Bike. Bike. Bike. Bike. Bike. One hundred fifty times. Bike.

Out to lunch with MayMay and Peeps

Jason's Deli _ Yum. I just love to go to Friendly Center. Today's outing took us to REI then to Jason's for lunch. Everyone there was in a big hurry but us. We just sat outside and ate our turkey and wheat thins, our animal crackers, and some fruit. A little SoyYo makes everything more fun. The day is brought to you by the letter J for Jelly Jam Jonathan and Justin also Jason's and Jubilant - that's me. I am having fun with Peeps and MayMay who don't seem to have much to do but play with me. I wonder what they do while I am sleeping?

The kitchen and all in it are MINE-HUFF HUFF HUFF

The kitchen and all in are Mine All Mine. The huffs 5 of them at last count lining up for breakfast this morning & I like to toss them the extras from my little tray (giggling) egg yolks, Cheerios, Banana, and SoyYo for sure with BaBa just for good measure. I just love breakfast time. Laughing,Playing and watching the huffs. What could possibly be more fun? Peeps acts like he doesn't like my little game of toss to the huffs but I can see him smiling and laughing with MayMay. They just don't seem so serious to me. Hey, Mom and Dad - Just stay in Jamaica another week, we are fine here. This morning is brought to you by the letter B for Bikes and the number 5 for Huffs.

Aunt Mimi & Her Mom visit Camp Toad Hall

Aunt Mimi and her Mom bring Hot Pink Boa and Books to Toad Hall and we take Avery to Southern LightsMy Annt Mimi & Uncle Brother Houst are bringing me a cousin in September and making her Mom a MeMe or something or other cool like that.

Avery goes to GVP with Peeps and MayMay

CampToadHall moves to the Green Valley Pool. Peeps and Mr. Turtle and Me and MayMay have fun in the sun(but don't worry not too much sun)

I am so tickled - I am about to split wide open - I'm not sure what is SO funny but i giggle up a storm and as usual MayMay has the camera ready to shoot all the good shots!

Peeps reads to me about himself the dog. What a funny book and what a wonderful Peeps(written by MayMay - Peeps is her boyfriend) Aunt MeMe and Houst gave it to Peeps for Fathers Day. I say Huff Huff Huff a couple of dozen times just to make sure i still can!

Me and My Mom and Camp Riverbank with Mr. Turtle

Fun at riverbank - Camp Riverbank that is - here I am with my Mom(Ali) and Mr. Turtle and Wivver's tennis ball. Most of what happens at Camp Riverbank is that MayMay Peeps Meme and Houst throw the yellow tennis balls into the water for the Huffs to bring back.

Camp Riverbank all decked out

Peeps and MayMay decked out the deck at Camp Riverbank. Peeps has a little decorator in him waiting to get out. Fun!
