Catching Up

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was certainly busy, but we managed to have some fun in there too. We went over to Tim and Tammi's for some dinner, games and we even threw in a movie! Thanks again guys, we had a great time! Friday night, Saturday and all day Sunday we spent cleaning and organizing our house. To update everyone who we don't talk to everyday, Matt and I have decided to move on base pending our move to CA (hopefully!!). We are not quite sure when we are leaving, so we thought it would be smart to start the selling of our house now while we actually have a place to live once it's sold. The homes are absolutely beautiful and huge!! However, we are hoping we don't have any resident ghosts....most homes on base have ghost stories just because they are so old. Yikes!! Anyway, our house should officially go on the market tomorrow so we have been trying to prepare for the upcoming scramble in the mornings to make sure everything is just so. It's very overwhelming for us right now, but it will all be fine in the end.

On another funny note, so the reason I have not posted anything on the blog is because of this: We went over to our friends' Dave and Debbie's house last weekend for some yummy dinner and we played several games. We had a great time and I actually remembered to take pictures!! (Below). Well, all week I have been looking for my camera and then it dawned on me that I might have left it over there. As we were cleaning and reorganizing this weekend....guess what?? I found the stupid camera hidden behind a speaker on our entertainment center! Avery has taken a liking to our camera, so in order to avoid at least one temper tantrum, I hide it from her. Well apparently I hid it so well this time, I couldn't even find it! Ha Ha OK, I'm done for now. Enjoy the pictures and I promise more will come now that I have found our MIA camera. :)

Debbie and me!

Sketti Face

Our little Avery Grace, I fear, has already entered in to the terrible 2s a bit early. We have been patiently waiting through temper tantrum after temper tantrum, in the hopes that this phase too shall pass. :) However, tonight's dinner went on without much fight. Maybe it was because she liked making such a mess that she wasn't worrying about anything else. Who knows? All I know is that she has the cutest sketti face ever, but I am biased. :) She has really turned in to an eating machine lately. As you can see in the video, if her food isn't ready when she wants it, well then watch out! The video doesn't show some of the worst moments we've had of course, but I'd hate to get in between her and her food that's for sure! I can't imagine where she might get that from??? Hee Hee ;) Enjoy!

Date night and more

Happy Monday everyone....some of you may have the day off, however I am still plugging away at work. As you can see though, I am not working too hard!

We had a pretty decent weekend. It started out for me with lunch on Friday with Tammi, Beth and Reagan at Poor Richard's. I gave it a second chance and I have to say it was not too bad. Thanks ladies! I had a great time chit chatting and stalling my inevidable trek back to the office. Matt and I actually went out on a date Saturday. Instead of doing our usual "dinner and a movie", I decided we would do dinner, ice skating and then dessert at Applebee's. :) He was such a great sport and we really did have a good time...even though we were definitely the oldest ones out there who did NOT bring their children. We skated to teeny bopper music and I was pretty impressed that neither of us fell! Sunday, Avery and I had a quiet day, however I spent most of it talking to almost every member of my immediate family and my parent-in-laws. It was great talking to everyone and catching up.

I decided to take a couple videos on Sunday morning (Below) of Avery's excitement over brushing her teeth. I swear, the kid better have spotless pearly whites by the way she gets so excited about it!! Hopefully the enthusiasm lasts! As you will see in the video, she is standing on our couch doing something naughty, so I figured a great distraction would be to brush her teeth. I also have some random pictures that we've taken over the past couple of weeks.

Enjoy and have a great week!

I'm not sure if you can see it in this picture, but she's wearing daddy's snow hat and hamming it up for the camera.

Back to the blogging world!

Hello everyone! So, now that some of you have started giving me a hard time, not to mention any names...(SAM!) Hee hee!! I've finally decided to update our blog! Nothing too exciting this time. Just a really sweet picture of Matt and Avery reading and a random video of Miss Avery Grace. Not quite sure what her goal was with all the dish towels, but whatever! She was having fun. :)

We hope everyone had a safe and happy new year! I'll be back sooner with more pictures and/or videos.

Enjoy!
