Hanging at grandma and grandpa's

We wanted to go out for "Valentines Day" on Saturday night. Grandma and Grandpa Graff are always wanting to tend, so they offered to watch her while we went out. Here's Aevri in her car seat getting ready to go. She was so funny when I was putting her in her carseat. I talked to her for 5 minutes and she was entertained the whole time. She even cracked a few smiles (at least I thought they were smiles). She loves to be talked to and does really good at following with her eyes.

Here are some more pictures of her after we got home from dinner. I LOVE this picture. She looks so old all dressed up. Jerico and I went to Iggy's for dinner (we figured it wouldn't be very busy) we were right. We got right in. We were kind of nervous after passing Texas Road House that had 50 people outside, outback 15 people outside, and Red Lobster 20 people. We went and got "Fat Free' Yogurt after. (I'm trying to be on a diet). After that we stayed and hung out at my parents for a while, Mishaun, Lakyn, Bailey, Morgan, and Nykell all got to play with Aevri. Had a ton of fun. It's always nice to get out and have a reason to get dressed!

These pictures were way to fun not to scapbook and post. She looks way to big in that bumbo. I don't know why I'm trying to make her grow up faster. She is still such a good baby and so much fun she is getting to the stage where she is looking around and starting to have fun with us. I've been taking her out a lot more. I guess I'm done being stuck in the house all day! We've visted work, nykell at work, went to church twice, and to lunch! Wow we are ambitious!! We love this little girl more than anything and love to take lots of pictures of here. Can't wait to get busy and scrapbook them all with my new memory mixer program!

Newest and cutest Saints Fan

What are two things Jerico absolutely loves? His little girl and the Saints. (and me of course)So what could be better than getting little Aevri a New Orleans Saints outfit. Funny story about the outfit. I had no idea Jerico had bought it for Aevri and I saw it on the internet and tried to order it but it was all sold out. I spent 2 hours searching for other websites that sold it and had no luck. I guess I'm glad I didn't find it because Jerico had already bought it for her and I had no idea. I guess great minds think alike.

Aevri's first trip to chuch

Nykell was speaking in church so I had to go. Being a paranoid mom I hadn't taken her to church yet. Jerico was out of town on a golf trip so he couldn't stay home with her so I got her ready and we went to church. Let me just say I'm glad church was at 1. I'm new at this mom thing and it takes quite a bit of time to get you and someone else ready. I will never question families walking into church a half hour late again! ( I managed to make it there before it started)

Don't give up on me

Hello blogging friends! Don't give up on me! I will get back into blogging, now that I have something fun to blog about. I am the proud mama of the sweetest and cutest girl ever!! We are so blessed to have her in our lives, and I'm not just saying that. I was worried about being a mom and having to constantly take care of another person, but now that I've become a mom it is truly an honor to be responsible for another person. I will get some pictures posted so I can brag about how cute she is.

Here are so pics of our fun family Hawaii trip. We spent 3 days in Ohahu with my whole family then flew to Maui just the two of us. We had a wonderful time. The Islands were beautiful. We did a lot of snorkeling, beaching, eating, cruisng, and Jerico even got to golf. I had a lot of fun spending time with Jerico and had a wonderful opportunity to have one last big trip with the family before Chance left on his mission and we all grow up!

Well we got a first glimpse of our little GIRL! It was so fun to see her for the first time. She was moving around like crazy. She looked like she was having fun. We were so excited to finally see her. Can't wait til she gets here. We still have quite a ways too go. We're 16 weeks down and counting. It's been a great pregnancy so far. No complaints. Now I can get to shopping now that I know that what I'll be in the market for!

Exciting News!

Well if you haven't already found out from Nykell's my space page this will be a fun suprise. We are having a baby! I'm due January 15th! That makes me 9 weeks. It's really hard to keep being pregnant a secret since it's such fun and exciting news! My mom said I was due around that time and I was born the day after Christmas. It will be funny if we curse our baby with a Christmas birthday too. I'll keep everyone posted! Hopefully I'll be better at blogging now!
