Brian, Kellie and Averie
I can't even tell you if the Bees won or not. Reece and I spent the entire game catching up and keeping track of Averie. She was all over the place! 
I just love summer nights!
We went down with Brian's family and camped right at the entrance of Bryce Canyon. It was such a beautiful area! Unfortunately, it rained every day. It was very weird weather the entire trip. It would PORE for about 20 minutes and then it would clear right up. Brian and I got caught in a pretty nasty thunderstorm while we were out on a four wheeler ride. One minute we were just enjoying all the beautiful scenery, then the next we were drenched from head to toe! Here are some pics from the trip:
Averie and Grandma Anderson
Averie was pretty good given the conditions. She had really just barely started walking, so I was amazed at how well she did. She slept great in the Pack and Play.
So if you ever want to make your one year old happy, give them a sucker! There is one disclaimer though. You have to be ok with sticky hands and a messy messy face! Averie was introduced to her first sucker. At first she didn't know what to do, but her cousin, Aspen, helped her out.
Yum! She was entertained for about an hour! It was awesome. I was having a little bit of a fit with the messiness. I definitely wouldn't recommend suckers while camping.
We finally made it into Bryce Canyon to enjoy the sites. They were spectacular!
I couldn't believe some of the cliffs. I was pretty nervous that they didn't have them fenced off. Brian didn't seem to mind though.
Sergeant was in heaven the entire trip. He loves being up in the mountains. We found this huge tree with the center rotted out while we were hiking. We tried for about 20 minutes to get Sergeant to crawl through it. He is such a chicken. It took him forever, but he finally was brave enough and crawled through.
Here are a couple of shots of the fam minus Averie. She was with Grandma.
Averie has been such a joy and at times, and others, a little stinker! She has really figured out how to test my patience lately. She was such a quiet easy baby. She is hitting her "terrible two" phase a little early! I know most of Averie's dilemma comes from the fact that life has been crazy the past month or two. With me starting my new job and moving, I am sure she has just felt out of sorts. Now that we are all moved in (well sorta), I'm sure she will calm down a little bit.
Sitting on the back deck at my parents.
Hanging out on the front yard in her swimming suit getting ready to go swimming. This girly loves to be in the pool.
One of these days she will figure out how to make the zebra "go". She gets pretty frustrated unless you push her around.
Brian and I finally found our home! I feel pretty guilty for complaining so bad before. I am just impatient. Well we close July 13th so stay tuned for pictures. This is a terrible picture that I took on my phone, but I at least wanted you to see the outside. So do you want to know the crazy thing? One of the couples that lived in our current ward is actually going to be our new neighbors! How crazy is that? They moved a few months back and we never knew where they moved to. Turns out, they have good taste and built the house behind ours. Fun huh? I am going to LOVE our new place! I can't wait! PS if you know anyone that is looking to rent a three bedroom two and a half bath townhome in Riverton, please let me know! We need to get our place rented as soon as possible!
Averie is such a lucky girl to have Brian as her Daddy. He shares such a special bond with her and I just know that she will always have him wrapped around her little finger. I am so grateful to have him. He makes life so much easier! I hope you have the best day Hon, I love you!
