FuN at Arctic Circle!

Harley and I took Avery to Arctic Circle the other day for lunch! She had so much fun going down the slides and having Harley chase her around!

~

Here I am trying to play with her~key word trying! My belly is so big!

Here's dad being the best sport and taking her down the slide as much as she wants! She knows how to do it herself but it's always so much more fun when you have a playing partner!



What a big girl!

Bad night..one of many to come I'm sure

So last night I struggled terribly in the kitchen. I was making blts for dinner~one of my favorites~and was a mess the entire time. I burnt the first batch of bacon to a fine crisp, burnt the egg I was putting on these particular blts, then as I was making Avery an english muffin with butter and jam I broke the top of the glass jar clean off with a butter knife...don't ask. Finally Harley comes over to me and tells me to get out of the kitchen and that I'm outa control!lol
.
.
Okay. I knew He was right but what the heck?! Why am I so outa control? I sooo do not feel like myself!! I am so excited to have another baby but, I will admit, I DO NOT carry babies well at all. I can barely breathe. People have already asked me if I'm having twins~TWINS~and I'm only 6months along! People asked me the same thing with my pregnancy with Avery but it never bothered me. I was just elated to be pregnant at all that who cared what my body looked like or had to go through~I was finally having a baby! Now I can barely walk because I'm already so big and can barely breathe with my asthma. My skin is bad, I have dimples in my thighs that I never thought possible!lol My hair is falling out and I'm trying to grow out the blonde from last year! Oh, plus I fried a strip of the front with the blow dryer because it's so brittle.
.
.
I don't usually complain like this~to other people anyway. Harley or my mother usually hear all the woes of my pregnancy. I just feel like the baby brain this time around has intensified maybe?...I like to joke about the hardships of pregnancy...usually. I'm not liking the changes with this one. I'm HUGE!lol
.
.
I am greatful for this new baby. I sometimes wonder why I was able to get pregnant so easily with this one when it couldn't be at a harder time for Harley and I. Harley tells me and truly believes that God only gives us hardships we can handle. I know he's right. I guess it's just hard when you're right in the middle of the storm.
.
.
I tell you what though, Harley and I both don't know what we ever did without our Miss Avery. I can't believe how wonderful and hard it's been having a child of our own. She has taught me so much about myself I'm sure I could never have figured out on my own.
.
.
The bad day is over and onto the next. I know it won't be the last so I really should just stop complaining!lol

Avery loves helping me cook. Sometimes it's
hard to keep her entertained
while I'm getting things ready but I soon discovered
homemade edible play dough!


In these pictures she is actually helping
me roll out homemade tortillas.


Right here she's showing us with her hands how
you roooollll!



Here she is with her homemade play dough.


I had to get her her own apron for Valentine's Day.
Isn't it cute!!! She loves it cuz it has Unicorns~or as she would say~
HORSEYS!

Valentine's Day!

Valentine's morning was full of love at the Meyer residence!lol
Avery was in a really good mood for once when she
woke up!
~
This child is full of piss and vinegar EVERY morning
and it drives me InSAnE!
She must have known it was a holiday because
she didn't wake up with her usual
demands and yelling!


We had heart shaped french toast, oranges and apples, chocolate muffins
with pink buttercream frosting, and sparkling apple
cider for breakfast! Harley humored me and
ate everything I made! ;} What a guy!


We exchanged cards...The top one was from Harley to me...


This one was from Avery to her dada...


And this one was from me to Harley.
.
.
This year I had to really think about getting in the habit
of doing Valentine's and teaching Avery
all about giving and showing love.
I know a lot of people who think Valentine's is just
a marketing ploy but, I really like the idea
of taking a day that's already designated for you to
think about doing something
special for ALL the people you love!
.
.
Harley shows me he loves me every day by being
his normal, dorky self! ;}
He's a pretty amazing guy always making everyone around
him laugh and smile...especially his daughter.
Harley plays with Avery every day
chasing her and picking her up and swinging her around.
.
Harley does an amazing job helping
me to rely on my Heavenly Father during hard times...
for someone who claims to have no religious denomination
he sure knows how to have an unbelievable amount
of faith.
Now that I'm done with the cheesieness I hope
everyone had a great day!
