Memorial weekend

We were in Rexburg for memorial weekend. As always, we had a wonderful time with family and cant wait to go back!

My dad took us on an awesome plane ride. Avy actually really liked it. She fell asleep after being in the air for about 2 minuets.

Saturday we had our annual "day at the farm" party. It was a little windy but sunny and perfect for flying kites! Avy absolutely loved running around with her cousins, getting dirty, and playing with this months new littler of kittens. There is  new batch about every few months :)
Thanks grandma Janet for the Cinderella kite. Perfect for Avy!

Sunday we spent the day visiting the graves. Miss you Steven :(

And now in Idaho falls to visit Chris's grandparents.

The rest of the weekend Avy just played with her best friends! I wish we lived closer because she can not get enough of her cousins!!

A little remodel...

The month of May we decided to do a little remodeling in our house. Chris has wanted new carpet since we bought the house. So finally we decided to go ahead and get some nice carpet in our 3 bedrooms downstairs. Carpet shopping is really annoying. There are 400 different kinds to choose from... but we really like what we found and it makes our house feel nice and comfortable.
Because we were getting new carpet, we though it was a good time to paint/redo Avys room and get it ready to share with her little brother. She loves her new room and loves sleeping in a big girl bed!  
My iphone camera doesn't show it very good. The walls are light gray (even though they look a little purple in these pics). And we still have to hang some pictures, but for the most part we are done :)

We have also been painting the outside of our house. We started last year and are finally finishing it this spring. It is the same colors, just a fresh new coat. It is pretty hard to paint with Avy running around and getting into the paint, but now we are done and can finally check that off the list.

We are also redoing our master bedroom but it is not finished (not even close) so I will post pictures of that later :)

These are just some cute pictures from Mothers day. It was about 95 degrees and just a beautiful day. I love this little girl more then anything in the world. And I'm so grateful we have a healthy baby boy on the way. What honor and privilege I have to be their mother!

(thank you pregnancy for giving me that beautiful double (triple) chin... )

This is  little video of what our week was like when the old carpet was taken out and new installed. Basically everything we owned was in our front room and kitchen. What a huge mess!! But it was pretty fun sleeping in the living room for a few days.
