Avery was blessed this last Sunday here in Rexburg. Brett did a wonderful job. Her blessing was so wonderful. We were so happy that our families and friends could be here to share the day with us. Brett and I are so grateful for all the help that we have had. Thank you everyone. We are so grateful for our little family. 
We went to Idaho Falls on Saturday and went to the mall. Brett and I found this outfit at Old Navy and thought that it was the coolest outfit so of course we got it for her. 
Avery likes to hang out with her Dad on the couch.
Avery got to be a skeleton for her first halloween, for half of the day at least until it got spit up on. We didn't do a whole lot for halloween, but we had fun hanging out with Brett's family. We had quite a few trick or treaters and we all watched Iron Man together. Avery made a very cute skeleton. 
Avery spit up all over her outfit so I went to change her and as you can see she didn't really want to be changed. She had a tight grip on the changing table bar and her blanket. Avery is getting so big already, she holds her head up all the time. 
Happy Mom!
What a cute little smile :)
She does this a lot.
I love her so much, she is so fun to hold and cuddle.
We really wanted to go to a pumpkin patch and pick out pumpkins, but there really wasn't much left at the pumpkin patch so we just went and picked out pumpkins at Broulims. Brett and I had fun carving pumpkins; Avery didn't enjoy it so much, she just wanted to sleep. Brett carved the one on the left and I did the other one. 
Yuck!
Brett carving away like a mad man.
Yeah, not so much fun for a newborn.
Avery is one week old today! It really doesn't feel like it, maybe because we were in the hospital for half of the week. She is so fun to have. We love to talk naps together and Brett loves to lay with her and hold her when he gets home from work. She is such a beautiful little girl. She is such a good baby. We are so grateful to have her in our lives. 
Avery loves to sleep on her Daddy's chestHere are some pictures of our little Avery. We are home from the hospital now. She is 6 lbs 12 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. She is the most beautiful little girl. We are so grateful and so happy. I'm still recovering and will write more when I am feeling up to it. 
I went to the doctor again today and he said I am dialated about 2 to 3 cm. I can't explain how excited, scared, nervous, anxious, and afraid I am. He said that he wouldn't be suprised if I go into labor with in the next couple of days. I just can't express how much I am grateful for the wonderful pregnancy I have had. Brett and I are so grateful that everything has gone so smoothly for us and Avery up to this point. Hopefully she comes in the next week; if not when I go to the doctor next wednesday they will set a date for me to have the baby. I will let you all know when it happens.
What a stud!!!
I can not believe there are only 26 days left until Avery's due date, I guess I actually can but the past eight months have really gone by fast when I look back. I am getting more and more excited to have the baby. I am also getting more and more nervous the closer it gets. I think that Brett is nervous too but I know that he is excited to have her in our lives. We are excited to be parents and hope that we can be as good of parents as ours have been to us. I went to the doctor the other day and they said everything is going great. I am so grateful that the baby is growing so well and that I have been so healthy. People keep telling me that I don't look very big for being eight months pregnant, and I guess I don't compared to some other people, but I am also grateful for that because I can still do so much, even though my stomach does get in the way when I try to tie my shoes. I am still teaching P.E. at Burton Elemetary and I plan to keep teaching until October 2nd if everything goes as planned. Brett is working for the landscaping company still and he enjoys it mostly. He is really excited recently because he started baseball last week and he is coaching a team with his friend Kreg Schow. Their team is the Thunder and their first game is tomorrow. I am so excited to go watch. I really enjoy watching him play baseball and playing catch with him.
Last weekend we got a ride to Orem and came home with this new car. Brett found it on KSL and we got a drive down to check it out to see if we liked it and we did so we got it and drove it home. We still have our Jetta too but we thought we should get another car soon for Brett to drive to work so that I don't have to take him early in the morning when we have the baby. We both like it, but Brett really likes it.
