Blessing

We blessed Averi on August 2nd our first sunday in the new ward. What a way to introduce ourselves! :) Here are some pictures of her in her cute dress.

Washington!!

Well we made it and have actually been here 1 week already. It kind of just feels like I'm on vacation and not really living here yet.

Packing up our house took so much longer than we thought it would... I guess I didn't realize how much stuff I had actually shoved into our little condo. By the time we had everything loaded up it was after 2:00 pm & we still hadden't eaten any lunch. As we were getting into the cars Leyton kept talking to me about some candy he had eaten in Grandpas truck that made him sick. It took me a while to realize that he had eaten some m&m's (which he is allergic too) and of course all the medicine was packed up where we couldn't get to it. We headed out and stopped at Wal-mart to get him some benadryl. Just as I jumped out of the car went into wal-mart Kyle took the kids and headed to Wendy's to grab a quick bite....and as he was driving away Leyton puked all over himself. You would think that I would have been smart and left a change of clothes for him out of the trailer...nope so Kyle had to run back over to wal-mart and buy him something to wear....it was a lot of puke trust me you wouldn't want to sit in it for 10 hours. Anyways after a long morning we headed out at about 3pm and got to WA just after 1am. Once we got on the road it really wasn't bad the kids did surprisingly really well. Only 1 extra potty break.
We are still trying to get settled and decide where things should go..etc etc I will have to take some pictures soon and post them for you all to see. That is unless anyone wants to come see for themselves. You are all welcome too!!

Cousins

For those of you who don't know my sister had a baby girl just 2 1/2 weeks before I had Averi. She named her little girl Audrey...yes it can be confusing...Averi & Audrey. Anyways yesterday we got together and decided to take a few pictures of the two of them. Here are some of my favorites. Averi Noelle(left) is almost 6 weeks and Audrey Mae(right) is almost 8. The picture above is of Averi. She started to smile in her sleep it was so cute!


Chubby little legs!!

Sold!!

So I've been avoiding telling people this but we are moving... Yes, I know its sad :( The Saturday before I had Averi we got two offers on our condo...(which no one had even looked at in months) so while I was in the hospital recovering Kyle accepted an offer. Then a week after I had been home we decided to move up to Washington state. As if having a brand new baby wasn't emotional enough we decided to completely change our lives. Kyle said goodbye to Golds Gym and has been a stay at home dad the last few weeks...which has actually been really nice to have help and have him around.
I'm totally nervous to move out of state and away from my family, but we have really been wanting to get away from Kyle's job....Golds is just too demanding. He worked over 60 hours a week only had sundays off and could hardly ever get vacation time. I felt like a single mom and like we were living seperate lives. I had no idea how I was going to do it with 2 kids. So when the oppertunity came for us to move to Washington we felt like it was an answer to our prayers. We have a brand new home ready to move into...Kyle hasn't found a new job yet but we have faith that it will all work out...and will be a much better family life for us.
We will miss everyone and hope you will all keep in touch. We have some great friends down here and we will be back!!
