Wish Us Luck!

{We're off to meet these mice}

{And relish in this amazing castle}

{Florida, here we come!}

Our House

We have the keys!!! We got the keys a day earlier than we expected so we started driving a few things over tonight! We crammed our little car as full as it could get and drove down to south Provo!

{On our way!}

{I should have taken a picture of my leg room. Or the lack thereof!}

{Avery loved helping us move. Such a great little helper!}

{Walking into our new place!}

{Home Sweet Home!}

{I got most of our kitchen put together but the rest will
have to wait for the actual moving truck tomorrow!}

Start Up

Brian is officially DONE with work at One On One Marketing! Funny how you think things would slow down after that. Nope, we're heading in the exact opposite direction and getting busy with the shave ice shack! And when I say that we've been busy, I really mean Brian's been busy with the shack and I've been busy with the usual.

Exibit A:

{Brian took this}

{and turned it into this}

We also finally have a name for the shack. After much deliberation (and a strong will that would not bend for anything), Brian we decided to go with SUMO's Shave Ice. Brian drew up his logo by hand and cut it out of our TV box to paint on the side of the shack.

He also drew this Sumo guy and then made him up on the computer for advertising and whatnot. I know, I know, my hubby is pretty skilled! ;)

{We have made up all the flavors and they are ready
to be poured on delicious shave ice}

{All our syrups}

Oh, and if you're wondering what the rest of my house looks like, here you go! While the hubs has been diligently laboring to get the shack put together, I have been packing up our apartment for the move! PS: Having baby stuff makes moving a BAZILLION times harder!

Introducing: Sweet Potatoes!

Avery weighed in yesterday within the first percentile so we are working at fattening our little girl up. She is doing more solids and taking bottles in between nursing. Wish us luck and weight gain!

{I love this face!}

{She's already trying feed herself}

{We finally gave up and just handed her the spoon}

{She must have liked it because she was literally

licking her tray when we were done!}

We're Moving!

Hooray! We have found a new place and signed the contract! We are really excited for this move. Well, maybe not the actual MOVE, but we are in love with our new place and I can't wait to show it to you so you get to see the pictures the owners posted on KSL.com.

{The front of the town home.
Notice our cute little tree!}

{The front room- love the floors!}

{Kitchen- jealous of my gorgeous cabinets?}

{And here is the shared backyard!}

We won't be moving until the end of April, but we are getting excited!

Happy Thursday!

Feeding Frenzy

Our little monkey has mastered the art of holding her own bottle! Even though she only gets a bottle here and there, it sure does make the task of feeding her much easier!

And (drumroll please...) today Avery got to start SOLIDS!
Yummy!

I mean, I guess you could call this solid.
We sure had a difficult time keeping in her mouth
as the next few pictures attest!



I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

Catch up...

I've had a few people ask me about my super long streak of no blogging. Not here, not on my craft blog, and let's face it- I haven't even been looking at other blogs! I don't feel like I need to explain myself since I blog for myself, but I am SO ready to blog and I've been itching to put up new posts for weeks. Now the only issue is facing the 'catching up' part.

Avery is growing so fast! She is five months old and the cutest thing in our lives!

She's been rolling over from her back to her tummy for the last little bit
and it's so fun to see her want a toy and roll to get it!

Her smiles get cuter and more frequent every day and she

giggles all the time- especially when being tickled!

She loves to snuggle her stuffed animals.

And she makes the cutest faces!

Reading stories before bedtime with
Daddy is one of her favorite parts of the day.

We sure love this little cutie!

Birthday Boy!

Brian turned 27 today! We had such a fun time spending the day together. We had waffles for breakfast and Avery and I went to Brian's work to eat lunch with him. Brian only worked the morning so we headed to Cabela's for some shooting range fun! I think we'll be doing a lot more of that in the coming months. It was SO fun and cheap too!

Then tonight we got chinese take out and made shave ice! This was our first try on the new machine and we had fun making {and eating} them. We made up some Lime and Strawberry flavors and enjoyed eating our shave ice while watching a redbox together.

Avery can't wait to taste her own shave ice. Haha!
Maybe we'll try rice cereal first!

Happy Birthday Brian! I love you so much and I'm so glad I got to spend your special day with you and that I get to spend the rest of forever with you too!
