{water & first times}

Well we have had an awesome past couple of weeks! 

!!!!!!!!!AVERY IS CRAWLING!!!!!!!!!

well if you can call it that.. i call it the Mowgli Crawl because she is on all {4}s {hands/feet}. she can go long distances but she chooses not to. she goes to the closes object.. usually a wall and stands up and walk and holds on to it to steady herself. but i am one proud Mama! i haven't caught it on tape/picture but i will try to remember and post on later.

 

On July 16th Avery and i went with Brit and Audree and my mom and dad to the Expo Center in Sandy to preview all the floats for the 24th of July parade. 

Brit and Audree and Me and Avery behind my parents stake's float!

{how cute are those skunks?}

LEGO LADY!!

{Brit & Pop} LEGO LADY!

This is my FAVORITE! Miss Lamb Avery

It was such a fun night! 

 

On July 25 grandpa was trying to water a dry spot on the lawn when he lost his balance and fell on the curb :[ He didn't break anything thank goodness but he sure looked banged up! He is doing much better which i'm so grateful for!! We love you Grandpa!

We went to Seven Peaks on {AUG 2} with everyone! 

Avery officially loves water!! i thought she would since she loves bath time, we spent a lot of time in the LaZy RiVeR floating around. They even have a splash pad there for the little kids and i think that was Avery's favorite!!

{i love her hair}{all tuckered out}

 

Thanks to Jon and Emily, Brady and i have officially been to 

~CITY CREEK~

It was so so pretty!! I know everyone says that about it but it is so true! Everything about it seem so peaceful, clean, and prettttty! the food court there is huge and they have this big play area for kids with all sorts of animals/dinosaurs for kids to climb and play on. And to say Avery love it doesn't quite cover it.. she loves other kids she gets so excited she can hardly contain herself, it is so cute!!

Our little family on the sleeping Alligator :]

Kale would hold Avery's hand and walk/run avery around as long as she could keep up it was so cute! this is the best picture i had sorry it is blurry!

Super Weekend! :]

Happy 4th of July!! And Happy birthday to Uncle Rob and Aunt Mindi AKA Maunster! Me and Brady decided to go boating again this time on utah lake on the 4th.. sounds crazy right? but the lake was empty!!! and the water was glass all morning!! We took our neighbors Nathaniel and Ashley, and MarRissa and Christian, and Lil' Brooke. It was so so fun! Everyone tried to wakeboard and got super close to getting up.. i think just a little more practice and everyone would be "pros"!:] But the fun started when we were tubing! Man-o-man i am sunburnt!! and i told myself i wasn't going to get burnt again.. i used SPF 50 everywhere but i guess i didn't angle the nozzle right and completely missed my back. so now im super itchy.. (peeling. I am no where near as  burnt or peeling as bad as brady!

 

Avery has reached a new milestone with her hair... PIGTAILS!!! i was so excited!! i love that her hair is getting longer and thicker! it is so awesome!

This Saturday i went to the Farmers Market in SLC with MarRissa and Ashley! it was lots of fun.. a little no it was super hot! But Avery got her very first i'm sure of many animal balloons! it was a MOUSE! I introduced Ashely and MarRissa to one of my favorite stores.. 

THE WOOD CONNECTION :]

And it was a huge success! So instead and doing Saturday chores we CrAfTeD all day :] i made a super cute bird i was going to put up for spring/summer decor in the living room but in the mean time i hung it up on the closet door in avery's room and i LOVE IT!! i think it has found it's new home!

Like i said it has been a super weekend! 

And today (JULY 9,2012)is my parents 30th anniversary!!

Congrats Mama and Daddy!! Love you guys! You guys are such an inspiration to me! Thanks for being a great example to me!! :]

Just a few pictures to hold you guys till my next post.. :]

Boating & BIG DEALS

Brady decided on a whim to take a boat out this Saturday. So Brad, Brooke, and Brady's co-worker Taylor took a fourwinns up to Willard Bay after work. It was so so so WINDY!!!  The water was horrible!! HUGE waves! We couldn't get out behind the boat and wakeboard which was a bummer, not to mention that we forgot a pump so we couldn't blow up the tube. Instead we just hung out on the swim deck. AVERY loved BOATING!! She couldn't stop smiling and TaLkIng the whole time! We even got her in the lake!

All of us sWiMmInG :]

Avery and Daddy!! :] (look @ their matching hair) :]

 This is one of my favorite pictures of me and my main lady!! :] love her!

All of us Auger women painted our toes.. love the blue! and this awesome ladies!!

And on the the BIG DEAL!! it is really a big deal as much as it is a freaking awesome deal!!! on my weekly garage sale trip this Saturday i found an awesome deal! i got me and Brady a sectional couch!!! And avery 3 new dresses and a magnet board.. all for..

{Chalk Paint and Super Finds}

So i decided to try a project.. i bought a dresser from one of my favorite yearly yard sales at DAY BREAK. it only happens once a year, but it is garage sale HeAvEn!! :] 

So i bought this dresser for $ 25 bucks! Such a good deal! i bought it to use as an entryway table in my front room.  sorry i forgot to take a picture before i started of it all put together but here it is all taken apart ready for paint

I decided to paint it a "pOp" color which in my front room is avocado green :] 

i used a technique i found on pintrest call Chalk Paint. You mix water and plaster of paris and add it to the paint color and paint it on.. no sanding required. There is a catch.. it dries REALLY REALLY fast!! so paint fast!

Here it is waiting to dry! (worst part ever)

Here is all put back together.. i think i will put different hardware on.. just need to find the perfect knobs :] i love it!!

This weekend on my weekly garage sale trip i hit the jack pot! And i wasn't even going to stop at this one, but it was on the way so i went out on a limb. and i am SO glad i did! i got all this stuff..

Which includes: 

18 Onsies

11 pairs of shorts

12 pants

15 shirts

3 rompers

1 swimsuit

6 bibs

3 dresses

1 pair of shoes

1 pair of tights

1 binki clip

1 baby toy

and 

1 car organizer

all sizes 18-24 months.

all for $40!!! i could not believe my luck!! :] it was awesome

sorry i just had to brag.. i was super excited avery is going to be one good looking lady!! :] Oh and on the same trip i got a knife block full of knifes for $5. we never got a knife block.. just knifes at our wedding so it is nice to be all organized :] 

Thanks for reading!!

{Happy Father's Day}

Happy Father's Day!!

 

we had a fabulous Fathers day weekend. we had a fun bbq in honor of my AwEsOmE Dad! I love my dad so so so much! He means the world to me. he has taught me so much, and has always been there for me! He is the best dad anyone could ask for! 

I love you Dad!!

For Father's Day us siblings decided to get Dad a nice, SAFE, and cool looking helmet for his motorcycle. 

 

we decided to put it on Avery's head and she did not like it haha

Brady was dying to get out of dodge for Father's day.. but since we couldn't really go anywhere because he works saturday and monday we went fishing with the listers! Brady loves fishing.. i on the other hand can not fish to save my life. so i just watch. we drove up to the uintas and fished at crystal lake. it was so so so nice! it wasn't real crowded. prefect weather, not to hot, not to cold, and for once hardly any WIND! YEAH! 

Brady teaching avery to fish! :]

It was so nice to spend time as a family. we love the lister's and Cody is such a great dad, he is so nice and always willing to help (which we really appreciate)and just plain FUN to be around! We love you!!

 

So to all you Dad's out there 

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

Fourwheeling & Grave Yards

This past week has been super fun!! It was Memorial Day weekend and Brady and I wanted to get the heck out of dodge, but it never happened. So instead we had a lot of MUDDY fun going FOURWHEELING with Brad, Kenzie, and Brooke!

This is us before we started.. it is hard to tell but we are clean haha

 

 

Us after.. our faces were covered, our clothes were covered, even my foot that was in my shoe was covered with MUD!! It was so so fun!! I definitely want to do this way more often! *Hint* *Hint* :]

 

On Memorial Day Brady and I had a nice relaxing day! I loved it! Brady and I decided to go and visit Grandma Mordue and Aunt Mary. It was such a beautiful day!! And the Bountiful Cemetery looked amazing! It was nice to spend some time with Brady and Avery. I wish Avery could be around my Grandma and Mary! They were amazing people and I miss them so so so much!! I'm so grateful to have the knowledge of eternal families, it makes loosing someone a little more easy. 

 

 

Aunt Mary's Grave

All Avery wanted to do was pull the peddles off the flowers and touch the grass. It was cute!!

 

 

Avery and Great Grandma Mordue!!! :]

 

 

Avery and Brady! She loves Brady so so so much! It is so cute to see how much she loves him! She think he is so funny, definitely a Daddy's girl! 

 

On a different note:

I have decided to take a position up in our new Farmington office. I will start working there in first of July. I'm really excited for the opportunity! It was hard to leave the Taylorsville office, I love everyone there! But I believe this will be a great change for me. Wish me LUCK!
