Fun with the fam!!

This past week we had some fun with the fam! My dads sister, aunt Trish, came from back east to give her husband an awesome present. She got him a few times around the speed way in Vegas, in a race car!! He got to drive it and everything! They made their way to St. George and we had an awesome day. We had dinner in Mesquite, walked around Snow Canyon, and made a trip to gawk over Zion. The only unfortunate part was that Erik was out of town. He had to work in Vegas. I was super bummed. I hate family events without him. Anyway here's a few pictures that captured our fun day!

Sista, sista!! This is me and my sister Lee!! Mmmm I love her!!

Mommy and Daddy's big girl!!

Avery is getting so big!! She's five months now and starting to eat solids. She loves the fruit mixed in her rice. Duh, it's cause it's sweet. Also, she loves the squash. I swear she is saying mmmm when she's eating it. She gets impatient and grabs for my hand and the bowl. She is soo much fun. I love her more and more every day. I love motherhood!!! Oh, I've had a few people ask if that is Avery's real eye color in the title picture above, and yes it is! I took that picture outside, put it in black and white then left the color where I wanted it. Her eyes are amazing in the sun!

bUiLdInG a HoUsE!!!

So, we decided the whole bank owned homes in Vegas, was too big of a hassle. Most of them are a big mess that would take some definite TLC. We made an offer on one that was really nice, but it turned into a biding war and we weren't willing to play. We decided to build!! We locked in our lot and our floor plan. They will start breaking ground in a couple of weeks. So for the next six months we will be renting. We don't know what we're going to rent because most home owners want a year lease. We've been looking at condo's. We only have like a week and a half to figure it out. Here are some pictures of the model of the house we are building. However, we get to pick everything and it will look nothing like this. This is not our taste. We've already picked some of our stuff. It's pretty fun. The best part about it is, it will be bigger than our house now, a little nicer and the kicker is, we will have paid less than what we paid for our house now. The Vegas market is definitely a buyers market!

This is part of the kitchen. Again, definitely not what we're going to do but none the less it's pretty cute. This is only part of the house. There's a little more I didn't take pictures of.
Also , the living room. There are two living rooms, I only took a picture of one.
The hall way with the bedrooms.
