Dress-up Time

Shoes

Avenley is obsessed with shoes.  She loves to try them on.  It doesn't matter who's they are...she will be trying them on for sure.

Playing in the Leaves

One warm day this week we raked up fome leaves left over from fall and jumped.

Valentines

(I'm a little late on this post, but better late than never.)

Valentines Day was such a fun day I wanted to write about it.  Nick left to work before I got up, but I made pink, heart pancakes for the girls.  Then they opened a little gift we got them.  Cute little outfits.  I did Molly's hair with braids in the shape of a heart.  We went to the church for a little valentine exchange for all the kids too young for school.  That was good for us to get to meet a few new people.  That night Nana came and babysat the girls and my nephews, while Jess, Bart, Nick and I went to Salt Lake for a night with Matt Townsend.  There was a magic show and then he talked about keeping the magic in our marriages.  We had a really fun night!  The next day we hung out with Jesses family and then went to Keenans basketball game in West Jordan.  We got to see mom and dad there too.  Then Sherstins family came and stayed with us for the night.  Such a fun valentine weekend!

There's No Place Like Home!

We made it!  We are in our new home and we LOVE IT!!  It feels so good and I couldn't be more thankful!  On the drive to the house to unload I had the kids in the back with a caravan of cars and trucks to unload.  I got feeling a little anxious and Avey started fussing.  Molly, trying to calm her down said, "It's okay Avey, we're almost home."  It was so sweet and it helped calm me down too.  That night after we were finally ready to crash we laid in bed and felt so good!  It has been busy trying to get things unpacked but it is coming along.  We had so much help from friends, family and neighbors.  We have already had my parents stay for 2 nights and a friend and her baby stay for 2 nights.  It feels good to have space to have people in our home.  God is good to us.  We enjoyed church on Sunday and Molly even played with a little girl a few doors down and I chatted with the mom Jessica.  It's starting to feel more comfortable and settled.

Our New Address

(and exhausted!)

Happy Birthday to Me

For my birthday on the 18th I woke up to roses and a sweet card from my sweethearts!  Mom and Dad took me to breakfast with my family, Lance and Keenan.  Then we went to watch Trinalee in a basketball game in Salt Lake.  That afternoon we went to dinner with our friends the Bodilys and Mickels.  Then the Mickels came over for cheesecake.  We didn't have enough candles so we used 3 single candles and a number 2 for the big 32!  It was a really fun day for me and I am so thankful for family and friends who show their love and spoil me!!  My friend Melodi took me out to lunch a few days later and my friend Kamela took me to ice cream.  I really am so spoiled and feel so blessed!
