Just like her mommy...

Not even 2 and the phone is already glued to her ear! :) She got ahold of Matt's phone one day at my dad's house and instead of taking it away, we were of course entertained and encouraging her behavior. She ended up text messaging me and who knows who else she may have called! Maybe MElmo. :) Enjoy more trip pics.

By the way....I can't wait to go to CA!!! We are having gale force winds here along with snow and ice!! YUCK!!!!!

Grandpa Randy and Avery hanging out!

More Trip Pics

More trip pictures...

There will also be pictures of our new house up this week! I know I have been saying they'd be up soon...so to all of you who are dying to see our house...have no fear, you will see it soon! I have actually taken all the pictures except for a couple.

We had a great weekend even though the weather was pretty crummy yesterday. We ran a few errands and then got ice cream at Coldstone! Yum! Today was absolutely gorgeous so we took advantage and took Avery and Sammi to the park. Sammi wasn't really allowed on the playground but we took turns walking her around and I think she was pretty happy. We hope all of you had a great weekend!!

Also, one more thing.....Happy Birthday Jeff (my stepfather)! I know you won't actually see this post on your birthday, but hope you had a great day.

OH Trip

So I'm officially starting to post pictures from our trip...I know I said I'd do this yesterday, but obviously I didn't. We had such a great time and we already miss everyone very much. Little Miss Avery had a great time playing with all of her cousins and Aunts and Uncles and getting spoiled by her grandparents. :)

Below is such a sweet picture of my grandma and Avery Grace. Doesn't my Grandma look great??

Home sweet home...

Greetings everyone! Well, we're back from our trip to visit family and friends in OH. It was a busy, busy week, but we had a great time and we got to see a lot of people. It's going to take me probably weeks to get all caught up with photos, but I will do my best.

Thanks to everyone who was able to spend time with us while we were home and hope to see all of you again for Christmas!

Side note....while waiting to board our plane back to Denver, this girl walks over to us and it turns out it's my good friend LeeAnne!! We were roommates together our last year of college! She ended up sitting directly behind us on the plane so we were able to catch up and reminisce about the old days. It was so great to see her....I can't believe it's been five years since we last saw each other. Life goes by so quickly these days.

Anyway, I'm doing this post from Matt's new computer so hopefully I will be able to upload some photos to this.

Another side note...congratulations to our friends Kim and Adam! They had a beautiful baby girl named Gwenyth!!! I'll post a picture with details soon.

OK....so no pictures for this post. I'm very sorry everyone.....I promise to have some pictures up for you by tomorrow at the latest!!!!!

Last Weekend

we had a small get-together at our house as a sort of "housewarming" party. We had a really great time and thanks to everyone who was able to come! I had so much birthday cake, we couldn't even eat it all. I'm so blessed to have such wonderful, thoughtful friends. David and Debbie came bearing two cakes..one from them and one from my sweet husband, and then Beth brought an awesome ice cream cake from Culvers. I could hardly decide which cake to eat first.

Matt had alert on my actual birthday, so Tanner (our friends' Tim and Tammi's oldest boy) invited me over to his house for dinner and birthday cake. He didn't quite understand that I was bringing my own cake (since I had so much left over from Saturday), because then he asked, "What about my
cake?" Ha Ha Too cute! Once again, I am so lucky to have such amazing friends who thought of me while Matt was gone. We had a great dinner and they even sang me happy birthday and let me blow out my candles. Thanks so much guys...you really made my day!

Here are some pictures below from our get together last weekend.

WSC Basket Auction

Our weekend was busy, but it was jam-packed with fun. Friday night Matt and I cleaned up, put on our nice clothes and went to the Warren Spouses Club Basket Auction. The Basket Auction has become a big to-do and raises money for our scholarship fund. This year's auction was a huge success and I was amazed at how generous people can be....especially after a few drinks! Ha Ha We had a great time with our friends and let's just say Tammi, Beth and I probably had enough wine for the whole table!

This is the basket that Matt and I won...which ironically was made by our friends Tim and Tammi. It was called "Coffee Lovers Dream" and had an excellent espresso maker, flavored syrup, mugs, liqueur and even a coffee bean grinder!! Great job guys!

This is the basket our spouses club put together. It was called "Pamper Me" and had all sorts of goodies, including a very soft, fuzzy robe, a gift certificate to a spa, eye masks, gift certificate to a maid service and champagne! Who wouldn't want that??

Cleaning Lady

Since our new house is so big, Matt and I have decided to hire our own cleaning lady. The only problem she might have is reaching anything higher than 3 ft!

Avery cracks us up...she is fascinated with dusting and vaccuuming! The amazing things that will entertain or excite a one year old. Enjoy the video!

Silly Faces and a Sad Goodbye

I promise to have pics of the new place by the end of this week. We are waiting on bedroom furniture, which should be here tomorrow, before I take pics. It's almost completely decorated, just need to hang a few pictures and I think we're set (at least for a few months!).

For those of you who don't know yet, we are headed back to CA in August. We literally found out the day we moved in on base. We are to report no later than Aug 15, which may or may not move up. I am very excited and really looking forward to the nice weather. I can't believe how quickly that time is approaching and when it gets closer, there will be a long, sappy, emotional message regarding our time here in Cheyenne. :)

Also, as for the sad goodbye...I am talking about our old place here. It was such a cute little home and Avery's first home. It was very sad for me to say goodbye. We actually had to go back over while the other person was cleaning the carpets because the movers forgot some things....I made Matt go in because I was so sad. Hopefully the new person will take care of it and enjoy it as much as we did. I took some pictures before the movers arrived to pack us up....enjoy! Avery and I were goofing around one day and decided to take a couple pictures of ourselves...enjoy those too!

How sad somebody...our house with a for sale sign in front. :(

Settled in....

Hey everyone! As you can imagine, it's been a little crazy here at our house. We are finally unpacked and getting settled in. The only thing left to do is decorate and finalize some organization. Phew! Am I glad that is over!! However, we will be heading back to CA in August, so our stay in the new house is short lived. I'm definitely not looking forward to another move in 6 months...especially since this one totals our 3rd move in 4 years. I will post pics of the old house and the new house very soon. I would like to get the new house a little more presentable for pictures, but for now, enjoy the cute pictures of Avery and Matt...and one silly Avery video.

Stolen Super Bowl Pics & more

Hi Everyone! Long time, no post eh?? Well, I hope we have a good excuse. Recap of our lives for the past 2 weeks:

Jan 23-we decide to put our names on the base housing list
Jan28-choose a realtor
Jan 30-house goes on the market
Feb 1-we receive an offer on our house
Feb 3-all parties are in agreement, we are officially under contract
Feb 6-get a call from the realtor saying the buy wants to close even earlier (Originally scheduled for Feb 23).....now she wants to close Feb 16!

Holy cow!! Going from casually thinking about moving on base to officially moving, putting our house on the market, going under contract, and closing on our house all in a span of about 3 weeks! Things have been a little overwhelming here, definitely a good overwhelming and once things calm down it will all be good. Thank goodness we have movers coming to move us because Matt will be gone pretty much the entire time we are moving in! The movers are scheduled to come Wed-Fri of next week and the buyer will officially take posession of our house on the 17th. :( How sad somebody. I really haven't a chance to think about everything yet because it's all been moving so quickly, but I am sad about leaving our first home. It just has a lot of memories, but we will always have those in our hearts right?

OK, enough about all the craziness...here are some pictures to enjoy (Thanks to Beth!) She always takes the most beautiful pictures.

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!
