Where does the time go?
My baby is already over 7 months old... HOLY MOLY!!

She is showing us more personality everyday and I LOVE IT!!!

She is so sweet and I cannot get enough!

Image
Our Jane is happy, sweet, quiet, spunky, determined, cute as can be, tenderhearted, and
oh so LOVABLE!!

Image


And our Avery is still her spunky, happy, busy self now at 2 years 3 1/2 months.

Image
Avery LOVES LOVES LOVES to change her clothes and everyday consists of MANY very creative outfits.

Image
She loves her babies and is such a good 'mommy'

Image
Avery loves to sing and knows SO many songs.

Image
She loves Barney and...

Image
She is good at taking advantage of every opportunity to go exploring when I am feeding or taking care of Jane.
Image
She is a GEM and she makes me laugh everyday.
Avery is smart, happy, silly, determined, independent, sweet, funny, LOVES to sing, adorable,
has a good memory, creative, cleaver, and kind!

Image
Another thing Avery loves...
HER SISTER!!

They are best sisters and I am SO happy they have each other!!

Definitely the best gift I could have ever given either one of them!
They melt my heart and make me want to be a better person and a much better mom!

Jane's Special Day

Jeff blessed Jane on Sept 26.
It was a beautiful day and we are so grateful for all the support we received from family and friends.

Image
My mom made Jane's amazing dress.
I am so lucky to have a mom who is also an amazing seamstress. It means a lot to me that she made both of my girls blessing dresses and I am sure it will mean a lot to them too.
She also got Avery a pretty white dress so she would feel special too.
Avery LOVES her grandma or monkey (as she calls them)!!

Image
Jeff gave Jane a wonderful blessing.
He is such a good dad to our girls and works so hard for us! We are so lucky to have him!

Our girls are also blessed to have lots of grandparents and all close.
Image

Image
Image
Image
Words cannot express how blessed I feel to have two healthy, happy, beautiful girls!
I know they will be the best of friends.
I feel blessed to be their mother and pray everyday that I can teach and guide them and help them reach their full potential.
Image

I cannot end without showing you Jane's little silver bracelet, a special gift to her from her Grandma Leger and her (middle) namesake Aunt Ashleigh.
What an honor and precious precious gift!
THANK YOU!
Image

We are so BLESSED and
so GRATEFUL!!

Janey

Seriously, could she be any cuter?
Image
Well, the answer is... NO and she couldn't be a better baby either!!
Jane is a dream!
She is a good eater, an amazing sleeper, and is just a good natured baby!
We are so happy to have her in our family!!

A good week

We started the week off with a trip up to the South Fork area (above Pineview Dam) to have dinner and visit with my parents who were camping.

Image
It was super fun and in true camping fashion it took Avery all of about 5 minutes to get good and dirty. SHE LOVED IT!!
Image
One of these times we will have to stay!
Image
Little did we know what the next day would bring...

At my regular scheduled 38 week visit to my OB on Monday morning the doctor looked at me with a big smile and said "You're a 5... you're a 6! You need to go to the hospital."
Me: "Seriously???"
doctor: "Yep!! You are having a baby today"

Image
About 5 hours after that conversation I was holding this little bundle of joy!
Image
Check out that DARK hair.
(Avery's was a strawberry blond at birth)
Image
We are a happy little family of 4 now... CRAZY!!
Image
Avery loves her sister! (most of the time;))
Image
She loves to continually check on Jane by standing at the edge of her bed and at the top of her voice saying "SISTER, SISTER!!! HI!! HI!! HI!! HI!!"
Image
She is SUCH a good baby and SUCH a good sleeper!
She sleeps all the time, I am amazed by it! I could NOT say the same for her older sister as a newborn!
Image
Jeff loves his girls and is such a cute dad!
Image
Avery and dad have been able to spend some extra one-on-one time this week and I think they are both eating it up.
Image

May and June

So it has been a while.
Avery is getting bigger and smarter everyday and I unfortunately am just getting bigger... and hotter and tired-er!!!
Image

Image
Avery has such a fun personality, she is SO busy and makes me laugh everyday.
She is starting to talk up a storm and repeats everything we say! She is also learning to exercise her agency- super fun!
Her favorite spot though is still on my hip... I have a feeling there is going to be a serious adjustment period when the baby gets here. eeeekkk!

Since I last updated:
Image
she flew by herself with all 4 kids from KY to UT... brave woman!
We had a visit from my favorite sister Kathryn and her 4 children
(this is the extent of all the pictures I took while she was here in Utah AND while we were in Washington{SAD})

Yep, I said we went..err... DROVE to Washington to help Kathryn settle into their new home. It was a LONG drive (10 hours) of which Avery slept a full 45 minutes!!! URGH!!!
My parents were kind enough to let Avery and I tag along, they were very patient!

While we were vacationing in Washington, Jeff was vacationing here:
Image
The U.S. Open at Pebble Beach

Image
Following this guy of course!
He was accompanied by his brother Jeremy and uncles Alan and Archie.
He was in heaven!
Unfortunately, no cameras were allowed!

It was a much needed break and he deserved it! He has been working VERY hard at real estate, Leger's and as young mens president. We never see him anymore and we sure do miss him a lot!
We feel very blessed however, that he is doing so well!
Image

Next update: baby #2 mid-August
if I have time that is:)
