Updates

Some important updates:

• Hannah will be a year old tomorrow.
• Andrew is graduating in about a month.
• We are moving in about a month.
• We already have an apartment in Salt Lake.
• We will miss Provo.

Some slightly less important updates:

• I've finished a sewing project.
• Audrey had her second dentist appointment.
• Hannah holds her own bottle now.
• We've been going to several of the library shows this year.  (We're going to miss the library so much!  It's been such a part of our life here...it'll be hard to replace no matter how good the SLC library is) 
• The weather is beautiful and amazing lately and we have been able to get outside every day!

So much of our news gives me mixed emotions.  First of which- my baby is a one year old!!!!  Ugh I'm so torn between joy and devastation!  There is nothing I love more than watching my babies grow and learn new things and become the amazing little people they are meant to become.  But I am an extremely reflective and sentimental person and so with each new big girl thing they do I feel a little bit of their babyhood suddenly become nothing more than a memory.  Even Hannah just holding her own bottle (which she probably could've started doing months ago but I didn't want her to) makes me see her both as my cute adorable smooth skinned little babe and my big independent little lady taking care of herself that much more.  Uh.  Parenthood is a never ending roller coaster of emotions.  

Secondly (and thirdly and fourthly), graduating and leaving Provo gives me mixed emotions.  I'll write more on that subject when we're closer to leaving because I have too many thoughts about it all right now.

Anyway, here are some pictures!

our parking lot before the weather got nice.  although i think this is pretty nice too.

it was very hard to get audrey into the car every time we had to go somewhere...

i feel like a pro when i grocery shopping with them both myself 

whenever they sleep in the same room hannah wakes up to audrey in the crib with her

we used to get upset with audrey but now it's just too cute to get mad at

mariah and ross are our family best friends- we all want all of their attention when they come over. 

story time with daddy is more relaxing than with mommy

our little poser

we used to take selfies a lot before we had kids so we did a session for old times sake.  (and quite against andrew's will)

sometimes i think its cute when my girls look like little boys!

audrey was being really quiet one day...when i went to find her this is what i found

hannah loves balls!  she could play for hours with a ball and a friend to throw it around with her

i love when they play together!  (audrey's taken to putting bows on her head herself)   

our first ponytail!

phineas and verb is hannah's favorite

he's a good dad

seriously she's been liking the bows lately

audrey tucked a 'napkin' into his shirt for him for dinner time

our view driving home one day, me and the girls.  it had been a hard day and sometimes nature provides the needed pick-me-up.  

when daddy plays with the girls....

andrew made a weird little doll out of the other toys just to be funny, and for some very strange reason audrey LOVED it and it became her new favorite doll

visiting our new stomping grounds- SLC

we tried pigtails another night

Provo City Center Temple open house

i just love this snow white costume!

evening walk after dinner.  we're going to miss these streets.
