Friday Five!

 

Happy Friday!

Today I'm linking up with Christina, April and Natasha for Five on Friday!

 Three of these happy stools were delivered last Friday for our kitchen and I love them!!

I need this shirt in my life, and some shiplap on my walls!! We are planning to add shiplap to the wall that our fireplace is on when we re-finish it at some point in the not so distant future.

 While my mom was shopping at Target last week, she found the cutest rug on clearance that would go perfectly in Avery's room. I love it!! Now we just need new blinds (I'm hoping to add faux wood blinds at some point soon) and floor trim and her room will be done!

I took my baby nephews 3 month pictures last weekend and they turned out so cute! He is such a smiley, happy baby.

And because they are just too cute... here are some pictures I took of Avery while we were at my Mother-in-Law's house on Wednesday night. She's such a ham!

Have a great weekend!!

Project Life 2016: Week 5

My page for week 5 of Project Life...

I used the Our Life Mini Kit Freebie from Kim Broedelet.

32-60 of 365

This month was exciting because we finally moved into our new house!! I also had a little Starbucks date with Jackson, we did lots of unpacking at the new house, it snowed several times, we had a visit from Jake's Aunt and Uncle from Kansas City and his Cousin and her family from Germany and  we also celebrated Valentines day!

We also did some decorating at the new house, had some nice weather to play outside, I had a photo session with Miranda and Matt for their wedding Save-the-Dates and Dad started working on the downstairs bathroom! We also went to a couple birthday parties and I got a new Stitch Fix box!!

February was a great month, and now we're looking forward to what March brings... hopefully a lot more Spring-like days!

Project Life 2016: Week 4

My page for week 4 of project life. 

I used the It's The Little Things mini kit freebie from Two Tiny Turtles

Scrub-A-Dub Dub 2 Kiddos in the Tub

Since we've been in the house and are a little more settled now, I've made a better effort to get my dslr camera out a little more. Yay!! So this past Monday evening, while the kids were in the bath, I decided to get a few pictures of them. I'd like to have a few prints made of these pictures in black & white to hang on the wall in our hall bath. I think these turned out pretty cute and I can't wait to see them framed. :-)

Avery Says...

Avery has really started talking lately and it's so fun to have somewhat of a conversation with her now. It always amazes me how much she knows and can say. Here are just a few things she's said lately that blew my mind or that I just thought were really cute.

One night last week as Papa was pulling into the drive-way...

Me: Avery, is Papa home?

Avery: Nope, don't think so.

Last Monday while we were out shopping and I was pushing Avery in the cart...

Me: Ouch Avery, you kicked me.

Avery: Sorry Mommy 

(Heart melted ♥)

While we were at her ear tube follow up appointment last week, we were in the waiting room and she stood at one end of the room and said "set, go" and then ran to the other end. 

As she was going down the stairs the other day she counted them... "2, 9, YAY!!" (Jackson counts the steps as he goes up and and down them so she's picked up on this from him. Ha.)

I was in her room hanging her bunting up over her bed and as I was doing that she came into the room and said "pretty". I'm glad to know she approves. :-)

While she was eating lunch...

Me: Is it good Avery?

Avery: Mmmm Good Good!

While she was eating a sucker in the car from the bank on Monday:
Avery: Mommy good good, Maw Maw good good, Brubber (aka brother) good good. :-) She had to tell each one of us in the car that her sucker was "good good!"

For some odd reason she calls every drink "tea." She calls every cup or drinking fountain "tea." When she wants you to fill her cup back up, she says "tea". I have no idea why, Ha.

 She calls popcorn, "cockorn"which I think is too cute.
She calls our dog Hunter, "Humpfer". 

She is obsessed with Peppa Pig, Minnie Mouse and Sophia the First. She has a couple Sophia shirts and a Minnie Mouse shirt along with Sophia, Paw Patrol and Minnie Mouse Jammies that she requests all the time. I was getting her out of the bath tub last night and before I could even get her out she was saying Paw Patrol. She already knew which jammies she wanted to wear. Ha. She also has a Sophia cup that she just has to drink out of just about every day. I can hardly get it washed for her before she's asking for her "Fia" cup. It's not looking good for me that she's not even 2 and already she has a say in what she wears and which cup she wants to drink out of.

That's all I have for now, but I'm sure I'll be back soon with more. I can't wait to hear what she comes up with next!

Project Life 2016: Weeks 1-3

A few years ago, I decided to try Project Life and make a digital page every week. I worked hard on it for close to a year, but got pregnant with Avery and just didn't feel like doing anything for a couple months. I got behind and just decided to give up. I loved making the pages though and loved having our memories documented, but life got so busy and I got overwhelmed with it. 

Well, I decided to give it another try. I thought I was still not too far into the year to start and catch up, so here are the first 3 pages from this year. :-) Now hopefully I can get caught up and stay caught up and not quit this go-around. :-)

Week One

Week Two: A Little Something to Remember mini kit freebie from Blagovesta Gosheva

Week Three: It's the Little Things mini kit from Amanda Yi
