Well as most of you know, the Koning 3 spent a few nights in Oregon! It was a brief visit full of family fun, good food, and a whole lot of love! Here are some highlights!


Avery loves playing with phones, particularly her GAM's!


Avery getting a horsie ride, she loves them! (but unfortunately you can't sit down and cross your legs without her asking for one:)


Aunt Julie read Avery lots of stories!


Valentine's day was so great! and of course the table was decorated beautifully...


Cuddles with Nana and Papa (well at least cuddling for about 10 seconds:)


Everyone was reading Avery this story, ha ha not sure who's more into it!

Avery and her great uncle Rick!

Great picture with Grammy and Grandpa Rog (unfortunately we couldn't get one of all 3 of them looking at the same camera...)

Playing outside was way too much fun.

Grandpa Rog and Avery were looking into getting this house...ha ha

Thanks to the whole family for such a fun trip!

As far as family updates go, it's not been about 2 months since moving to norcal! we have a lot of decisions to make in the near future regarding health insurance, finding a home to either own or rent, decide some things about andy's job, etc. Continued prayer for guidance and wisdom is always appreciated. We definitely miss all of our socal friends, so hello down there:) We'll also be working on a video of oregon, so stay tuned!

While I'm editing the Oregon video, here's a little taste of Avery showing us how smart she's getting!

A Quick Recap

This past week we had an amazing time in Oregon seeing my mom, Rog, and all the extended family! Stay tuned for some video and pictures of our time with everyone.

In other news, .please be praying for Haley and I as we embark on the continuous crazy lives we live! Haley is very busy with Children's and is adjusting to life with the swing shift accordingly and I have a couple auditions in the next few weeks as well. Let's pray for God's discernment and strength!

Love to you all...

Back Home

It has been quite the change for us!! But enjoying the places Haley and I have grown up, while also sharing them with Avery has been great. Though she doesn't quite like Pete's cayenne yet, ;). We're moving into new routines and working on continuing our crazy life changes, so enjoy this video on some of the things we've been doing most!

Christmas Video!

Hey guys! We're alive and well living it up in norcal! we finally got a christmas video together...enjoy!

Happy Holidays!

Christmas and new years has come and gone...crazy! We had an absolutely amazing holiday experience this past year...we made it up to norcal where we got to spend time with all of our siblings and some of our parents. Avery absolutely had a blast hanging out with all of our family which makes us very excited for the future of living up there (wow, not even so much the future anymore, tha day after tomorrow!!!) Avery had an amazing Christmas, with each present she ripped open she said, "oh wow!" which made her so enjoyable to watch. Despite the fact that we don't have pictures, she had an amazing time playing with her cousins (around her age) on Christmas Eve where they spent time sharing toys, giggling, and slamming doors:) Avery got so many toys that, while she opened them all, we're putting some away for the next few months at which point we'll bring them back out and she'll be excited about them once again:)

New years was great as well, Haley worked that day but got off early and surprised Andy by coming home to him early with a new phone for him. His service went well and we had a quiet night where we watched the 3rd movie in the twilight series, then snuck upstairs to wake up the baby to watch the ball drop. We all 3 shared the new years excitement together including snuggling and kisses between us all, Avery clutching Bob and ferociously sucking on her nuk wondering what was going on while us grown-ups had a few sips of champagne. We then put Avery back down and quickly went to bed. It was wonderful.

Here are some pictures from the events:
