Guess who's back......back again.......

Testing, testing.....is this thing on?

I haven't updated this blog in over a year. And what a year we have had.....

We moved into our new house, took a trip to Steamboat Springs, got pregnant, Colbi turned four (say what?!!), had a baby (end of October) and are settling into a family of four. How's that for a quick recap? 

Landri Anne Petty made us a family of four on October 25, 2016 at 4:17pm weighing in at 8lb 12oz and 21 inches long. It's been quite the month but we love her so! She is such a sweet girl! And, Colbi ADORES her. I am so thankful for that! We have only had one incident of "you like Landri better than me" but ten minutes later she had changed her tune. 

I'll be updating much more. I don't want my first blog post back to be an overload. HA!

We had a great Thanksgiving and are *hopefully* getting down Christmas decor today and getting the tree up. It'll be a few day process I'm sure. 

Feels good to be back. By the way, hi Dad!

Monday with Mommy

Last week we had a big day! 

Dave and I finally found a couch that we both really liked, so I had to go to Macys to place the order. Colbi loves the mall and she really is a good shopper. Before we headed out, we went outside and played with C'mere some....

One of the things she LOVES to do is ride the merry go round at the mall. We use it as a treat and what a great, cheap treat it is! 

I love our Mondays together. Lots of quality time and fun times making memories! (At least, I hope she will remember some of them!). 

Three Years Old

Colbi Morgan,

You are officially three years old and I just can not believe it. I remember getting ready to have you and wondered about the future. I could not have asked for a better little girl to have in our family. 

You are totally into Mickey and Minnie and ask your daddy on the regular if he will take you to DisneyWorld to see them. 

You love to read and will hold up books and read them to anyone. 

Frozen is still your favorite movie. Still. 

I'm thankful you like to eat. Chocolate milk is your favorite in the mornings and you love salad. If you have a choice between something and salad, you will choose salad every time. 

You are tall and slender, which isn't a horrible problem! HA! 

You are in a big girl bed, but pretty much end up in our bed every night at some point. We are hoping to break that habit, soon. 

Church is one of your favorite things to attend. You love to go to "school" and have some really neat friends there. 

We love you so very much. You bring so much fun to our family. You are my shopping buddy and my walking partner. You love to play around with your daddy and he loves you so much! We are so happy to see you grow into a wonderful girl with such a sweet disposition! 

Long time, no blog.

I haven't blog in FOREVER. It's been busy and truth be told, I just haven't really felt the need too lately. Don't judge me. All four of you who still check this. 

We have had such a busy summer. 

We closed on our house and moved out Father's Day weekend. It was bittersweet, but I'm so excited to move to the next chapter. We are staying with my mother in law for a few months, she has been out of town almost the entire month of July and worked out for both of us. 

We did swim lessons......

And, played outside before it hit the really hot part of summer. 

Saw our first movie in the theater (Inside Out). 

Someone turned three!! 

We had Colbi's party at a gymnastics place close to us and it was really easy and not stressful AT ALL. I'm over anything stressful at this point in time. I will do my sappy Colbi post at a later time. She deserves her own special post where I can cry and look back to see how emotional I was. HA! 

So. Last time I blogged, we were building. Yeah well, that didn't work out all that well. We (I) quickly decided building was not something we (I) could do. I'm just not all that patient and the control side of me just couldn't handle it. In all fairness, Dave hit that point the last month when nothing had been done to our lot at all. 

We ended up finding our dream house (seriously) totally by accident. 

Things I said we wouldn't do again.....

-live on a corner (it's a corner lot)

-not have a three car garage (obviously, it's a two)

-get emotional about a house (I fell in love just seeing the entry way)

God has better plans for us than we did. We move at the end of September and I can't wait!! 

Well, that about sums our life up for the past three months. Maybe I'll try to blog again before another three months passes. No promises! :-)

I disappeared for awhile because.....

We have been busy! We took a trip to Colorado with some friends....

Colbi was super excited about it, I promise. 

It was SUCH a fabulous trip. The drive was long, the weather was amazing, our condo was top notch, and the company was the best part. It was a much needed trip! 

We went to see Frozen on Ice with Gigi. I almost cried watching Colbi see it all. She loved it.

We evidently got too cool for mom.....

And, we have hung out with Avery a lot. They love each so much! 

In final news,

We purchased a lot to build a new house! 

This is our biggest news. We started talking about moving a bit ago and finally pulled the trigger. It is going to be fun, stressful, overwhelming, but most of all what we need. We have been in our current house seven years and it's just time. Best news is, we already have two sets of friends in our neighborhood (one of which will be going to daycare with Colbi!). We are really excited about our next journey, minus the stress that comes with building. 

Cheers to some new changes! 

Snow is scary!

Or, that's what my child thinks......

You seriously would have thought I was torturing this kid. I don't know why she is so scared of snow and sand. When we went to the beach, she wouldn't even touch the stuff. 

I hear it's a phase, only time will tell!
