Halloween 2012

This year for Adobe's Halloween party, Josh dressed up as "photoshopped". We had fun getting his outfit together. Clean cut and sharp on the left, zombie on the right. Here are a couple shots of the whole get up. We were scared that Avery would be afraid of the face paint, but she didn't seem to mind. 

Halloween is a big deal at Adobe. This year there were over 9,000 people in attendance at their party. Josh worked hard with his co-workers to decorate all week long and we had a wonderful time!

Avery was an adorable little cupcake, and I was a baker!

And on Halloween night...we added the chef! I personally loved the mustache. We had a great time.

Witch Fest at Gardner Village

We had a girls day today at Gardner Village's Witch Fest. Tami, Kiley, Cheri, Cara, Carli, Ellla, Avery and I went up together and we had a wonderful time. We look at cute clothes, walked on crunchy leaves, took pictures with pumpkins, and enjoyed all of the cute Halloween decorations.

Melissa's Golden Birthday

This year, I turned 24 years old. Thus, it was my "Golden Birthday." I had a wonderful day. Josh surprised me with flowers, we got to have lunch with him at work, dinner with the Pugmires at Wingers, and then Courtney and Matt came over that night. Birthdays always help me to remember how blessed I am. I am so thankful for all of the wonderful people in my life who love me and go out of their way to make me feel special.

The Pumpkin Patch

We got to take Avery to a pumpkin patch to pick out her very first pumpkin! 

 This one was a little too big....

Avery wasn't quite sure about pumpkin shopping. But Mom and Dad had fun! We think this will be more exciting as she gets older.

Our little pumpkin. We love fall.

Making Breakfast for Grandpa

Avery and I get the opportunity a couple of times a week to make breakfast for Grandpa Junior. Some days I get it done and up to him before Avery ever wakes up, but other days...she's my little helper. Last Wednesday, Brian came down as Avery was helping me and  asked if he could take a few pictures of Avery. He felt that it was just the perfect picture, and I have to say, they turned out pretty cute. Here's a few of them:

Therapy with Grandpa Junior

Avery and I have been taking Grandpa Junior to therapy a lot. We have fun while he works hard. His therapist, Shane, often brings out balls or other toys for Avery to play with. She is the star of the show. When we don't come with him, everyone is always asking about where that cute baby is! Here's a picture of us after one of our walks down the hall and back with Grandpa.
