Single and Broke {SEASIDE}

{Out title today sums up a few of our days last week at the beach...Jonas lost his wallet and his wedding ring...someone found the wallet and is returning it to us but there is one lucky fish out there wearing a sweet wedding band. Therefore, Jonas was single/broke last week. What would he have done without his sugar momma to buy him all his souvies?}

Regardless we had a blast

We had the best time in Seaside...77 degrees with strait sun the entire time we were there, Avie did great with the grands, and after 5 months of a hiatus from the sun we are tan! Couldnt have asked for more.

Here are a few pictures from our week...

These two are in the car on our way down driving from 7pm to3am...er go our rediculous pictures with sunglasses {in the dark i might add}

It was a wonderful and restful week but we were super ready to get back to Avery. She had a second tooth by the time we got back and she still remembered us :)

Thanks to the Fusons for a fun week!

Who got her first tooth today??

This Kid...

at least it happened before we went to the beach.

Hope everyone has a blessed week!

30-A

Next Tuesday i will be here...

but i'm pretty sure my heart and mind will be here...

You dont need your mind on vacation anyways, right?  Thats what i keep telling myself. 

Yep, that's right we are leaving Avery for the first time and i'm not gunna lie, i have been having some inner-turmoil over this. I know it had to come sometime but i'm still kinda nervous/sad about it. She will be having a week with BeBe/Mister and FarMor/FarFar so i know she is in great hands.

Im also kinda nervous she will either A. get her frist tooth while we are gone therefore leaving the grands with one cranky baby or B. she will start crawling. We are right on the cusp of that so i may tell them to not even put her on her belly while we are gone :) Or if she starts crawling to not tell me. hah

So anyways, im super excited about having some away time with Jonas and friends but im still sad and will miss her A LOT.

What is everyone doing to enjoy this new and beautiful spring weather???

Seven

Holy mackrel....these monthly milestones are really sneaking up on me. Miss Avie turned 7 months yesterday and man has she changed. Once she masters something she does it non stop and seems to progress fast to other things. We had a busy month with celebrating FarMor's, Brooklyn's, and Aunt Ashley's birthdays with two trips to Birmingham, and we just had 4 days with Brookie and Ash here in Nashville which was so fun and busy. I am pretty sure thats Brookie thinks of Avie as another dancing and singing Elmo, and probably vice/versa for Avie.

Avery is sitting up now like a champ and is beginning to try and reach for things and lunge towards things. She did push up on all fours once this past weekend and then proceeded to face plant onto the floor, but hey its progress! Im not sure if am ready for her to be mobile but it is fun watching her try.

Sorry for the lack of pictures lately but our home computer is so busted and so its hard to get on there and upload pictures...hopefully that will change soon.

Avery in your 7th month you are...

• sitting up really good and beginning to reach for things around you
• you have gotten up on all fours once and seem to be reaching for things like crazy
• you roll all over the place
• you are VERY vocal and love to talk to your animals, hands, and toys
• you LOVE the grocery store and talk to everyone who passes by
• you are eating so good and havent rejected anything we have given you yet (obviously you got this from yo momma)
• you cry with men you dont know...uncle Brian and uncle Chad seem to get this the most but you have done it with other guys too. Hopefully you will get out of this phase soon and then maybe pick it back up in high school :)
• you are wearing size 3 diapers
• no teeth yet but you are chewing on absolutely everything
• you sleep on your tummy quite a bit
• last time you were weighed you were at 18.4
• you dont get your spa days quite as much as you would prefer but its doctors orders, sorry kiddo
• you favorite song is Jingle Bells :)
• you continue to smile non stop and it continues to melt mine and daddys heart everytime!

Avery you are such a joy. You are my daily reminder of how faithful the Father is, and how much He loves us. On to month 8 and you becoming mobile!!!

these picture below are from my phone so excuse the blurriness but i wanted these documented because they just make me crack up.

Preaching to her puppy dog

at the grocery store, this was her first time in the shopping cart and she laughed the whole time.

Blessings-

I'm a Fan...

Belieb it...

Look Who's 1

This past weekend we celebrated this little girl's FIRST birthday!

I can not believe that she is already one! It got here so fast and its even weirder because I remember when Avery was born, Brooklyn was just starting to sit up and we said that at Brooklyn's first birthday that avery would be doing that. And she is...its so weird how fast time flys once you have a kid. It's bittersweet really.

The party was so fun and Ash did an amazing job on everything! Enjoy the pictures!!

Duckie bath tub doubled as a juice cooler

Yay for the first year of life Brookie boo!

We love you and are so happy you and your parents survived the first year! :)

The Big 'F' Weekend

Ok, so i hope you don't take my title of today's post in a bad way. Let me clarify that the reason for the title is because a lot of our friends have a last name ending in 'F' just like us. {Fuson, French, Faison...} So when we do stuff with these couples we call it {on our end} the big 'F' weekend. Ok so let's face it, almost every week we have a 'F' night with our favorite Uncle/Aunt Fuson but we just dont document those with as many pictures. Now sometimes we probably play into the funnyness of the way it sounds to say this, but it's the truth too. :)

So anywho... a few weekends ago we have some of our favorite Birmingham people up to visit. Brittany and Andin came up on a Friday and stayed with us for a chilled out/relaxing weekend. We had Avie spend a night with the grandparents so that we could spend some quality time with our friends and not have to worry about baby stuff. So thankfully Joe and Deb kept her for us and we got to take Britt and Andin to some of the cool places here in Nashville. It was so nice to be able to relax with old friends and not have to have Avery in the back of my mind. Hope that doesn't sound bad..cause of course i still thought about her but you know what i mean.Right? Hope so.

Here's what we did on our 'F' weekend 'O fun...

Here is Miss A in our car ride to the Loveless Cafe. Andin had never tasted their biscuits...that sounded bad didn't it? Well he really hadn't so we went there first and waited an hour to eat. True story but well worth it :)

Me, Fanch, and Avie

Avie forgot her shades so she borrowed Aunt Fanch's

The Frid's and The Faison's

Next stop was Joe and Deb's for the baby sitting

And last but not least...the Yazoo Brew tour. If you have never done this...you need to! It is a fun thing to do on a Saturday afternoon. Especially if you have guests in town because it cost like $6 a person and you get a Yazoo cup to take on your tour. You get to walk around the brewery with a tourguide and they let you taste a bunch of their different beers while explaining the process to you.

Not sure who this was suppossed to be but apparently i thought he needed a friend.

We loved having you guys here and can't wait for you to come back! You made our month by giving us a fun and relaxed weekend with friends!!! Love you guys!
