David's Graduation!

What a wonderful weekend!!! It started Friday afternoon when David's family got to Abilene. Ava showed off her clapping to them that she had learned the day before...just in time for all the graduation events!!! That evening David had a awards thing...which he got the excelling award!

My parents got into town late Friday night, and we were able to spend time with them Sat. morning... Speaking of Sat. morning...keep in mind there is 6 1/2 of us to get ready by 10:00 am...Well our shower broke during the first shower of the morning!!! (we couldn't get the water to turn off!) Thank goodness it was the cold water and we were able to just to jump in right after eachother and the last shower was getting finished up when the landlord showed up! (he also left David a grad. gift sitting on the toliet...haha a balloon and basketball thing...it was funny)

I was David's escort and got to hood him!

With David's family...Ava kind of looks like she has a mohawk here.

I think this picture is already on the blog...oh well

We were running late afterwards so we just some fast food and came home and ate lunch. My Aunt Susie got us this awesome fruit thing.

David thought he was getting a laptop for graduation...Little did he know I had been scheming since before Christmas, buying 2 books at a time of his first bible commentary set! Ava and I got him the new test. and I took up a collection for the old test. He was SHOCKED!!!

Ava got to enjoy wrapping paper for the first time!

Easter

I am finally getting around to posting the rest of our Easter pictures.

Ava and her ball from Pappy Ava loves Easter as much as her Mommy. She can't wait to do eggs next year!!!

Ava and Mommy!!! (I don't know what I was thinking when I got her original Easter dress...and it was huge. Good think I brought home a back up!!!)

My two loves!!!

Our little family!

David's Granny was staying with his parents Easter weekend. Michael and Lisa took her and got stuff to make Ava her very own "Granny" blanket!!! She was able to sit down and quilt for 3 hrs. Thank you Grand Pops and Grammy for helping her!!! Ava will love her blanket!!!
Pappy put the swing up for Ava
So Ava has learned to scoot...only backwards...this is what happens when you can't forward...you get stuck! haha
Isn't she the cutest baby in the world!!!

LTC

So Easter weekend was last weekend (the girls video is already posted.) Once again David was in charge of it, and did an AMAZING job!!! Here are the pictures from LTC I would comment on them but it won't show me what I'm looking at...just the codes. So I guess y'all can just figure it all out.

Hoppy Easter!!!

As most people know Ava has a little thing for holiday outfits...I means she just begs and begs for them!!! I try to stop her but how do you tell this little face no?!? So of course she had 5 Easter outfits and 3 dresses (but the one for Easter Sunday ended up not fitting...good thing she had a backup!!!) We had a great Easter weekend busy with LTC, and Grandparents. I think this year was the first I did color Easter eggs!!!(my favorite thing in the world!!!)
