New Car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got a new car!!! It is a GMC Yukon! WE LOVE it!!!! We got it on Monday kinda on a whim! We have had the truck up for sale, but no hits really. I have wants a new car for a really long time and I have wanted a Tahoe. Well on Monday we were heading down the hill to go shopping, we saw the traffic, and decided not to go! The exit we got off on was full of car dealerships, so I kinda jokingly said we should go look! Chris said ok, so we went! Pulled in asked the sales guy how much he would give us for our truck and he of course said he could make us a deal! Well, about 4 hours later we got our Yukon, which is the exact same thing as a Tahoe, so I was very happy! It is a year old, They wanted us to finance way to much for an 08' and we didn't want a payment! It is just like brand new, except with a few more miles on it!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! And I have such an amazing husband! He loved his truck, but loves me more!!! He LOVES it too! We have so much space, it seats 8, and it is really so nice! We feel so familyish(not really a word!) now, it's funny to say, I know!!!! So if anyone wants to come visit us we can all probably fit in one vehicle!














3 months


Avie is 3 months now! Last week actually, I am a little late posting this! She is so much fun and is getting more of her personality everyday! She loves to talk to us and smile! She is also becoming a little better about hanging out in one of her chairs or laying on the floor by herself for a few! It's nice, but I do love holding her too!!! She has made our family feel complete and we can't get enough of her! Landon just loves her and loves to try to make her laugh and feel better when she is sad! And Avie adores him! She loves to watch him and turns her head all the time to see him when she hears his voice! Having kids is truly amazing and so wonderful! It's hard some days, but all worth it!!!!




We love her pudgy little body! So delicious!!!!








Aunt Hilly came to visit again! We love her so much!!!





Always cute after a bath!














Avie loves to suck the first 2 fingers of her right hand and her left hand is always right next to it touching her face somehow!!! It's really cute and sometimes very noisy!!!! We are so glad she found something to comfort herself since she won't take a pacifier!

He is constantly asking to go outside and shoot big hoop with Dad!!! We are continuously amazed by him and his natural talent with sports!!! We love Landon so much!!!

Avenlie's Blessing

This weekend we blessed our sweet little Avenlie Mae! We had such a wonderful weekend with all our family and friends! Chris gave her such a sweet blessing! I am so grateful for the gospel in our lives and that Chris has the priesthood to bless her! My heart was so full all day and there was such a beautiful spirit with us! We couldn't imagine life without our Avie! Thanks for all those that came and we missed all that couldn't make it!
She couldn't have been more beautiful and sweet that day! she was so good all day long! We love her so much and are so grateful we have been blessed with her!

Aunt Hilly bought Avenlie a special bracelet for her blessing day! It is so thanks Hill!

Landon has decided that he hates wearing clothes and LOVES being naked! He also really doesn't like his diaper. This can be a problem some days! But he also has a definite interest in the potty! So we are trying and today he went pee pee in it for the first time! Yeah! It made a little mess, but we were so happy! For some reason he also insists on having it out in the family room where everyone can see him go potty. Kinda weird! We are not going to push it though, he can do the potty thing on his own time, but it would be nice to have to only buy diapers for one child! Wishful thinking for now I think! We shall see!!!
Landon on his new "Big Boy potty"
He loves washing his hands and playing with the water!

Pierced Ears!!!!




So we took Avie on Friday to get her ears pierced! She looks so pretty with them! She got Diamonds of course,I'm teaching her young!!!All we have to get her now is a little ring to complete all her jewels! I LOVE getting to accessorize a little girl! It's endless!!! She did okay. She cried for about 5 mins. or less. I fed her right after and then she was good! They really look cute on her though! Side note, I posted the pics backwards of how it took place, so you might want to start from the bottom!




Mommy giving her some love!


And she's done! So sad.



Almost ready! Landon was a little worried! What a sweet big brother!!!!




Right before she got it done! Still Happy!!!!
