Dear Ole Sooner Youth Camp!

David and I went to help out at Sooner Youth Camp. He was a bible teacher for the youngest age and I was the nurse. It was so much fun. We had both gone there once as campers, but it was so much more fun as adults! We both grew a lot from it and got a much needed break from Ava. Speaking of that...this was the first time we had ever left her! She stayed with my mom and even got to have a couple of days with her cousin Addy! (I only have 2 pictures, more to come when I get my mom's pictures).

Ok back to camp. David was able to stay with our preacher from South Mac, and a couple other bible people. Which was nice for him to get to stay up all night and talk theology. Me on the other hand was on call 24-7...not too bad I never got woken up in the middle of the night...just several late nights! Best part of the week was we only had to send a girl to the dentist...no ER trips!!! Poor thing took one too many steps to catch the frisbee and just ate it...knocking 3 teeth out! She was such a sport about it. And was mad that she had to sleep in my cabin for a night...I personally think she was crazy...my cabin had AC and her's didn't!!! David was even able to get a preaching gig for next week! We can't wait to go back next year.

Jennifer's Wedding!

Time to play some major catch up!!! I got a new computer (yes a couple of months ago) but I am very slowly trying to get everything switched over to the new one. Kind of hard to do with Ava and just NO motivation to do it!

Anyways. Back June my high school friend Jennifer Andrews got married! Once again it gave us girls a reason to get together! This was the first time we all got to meet eachother's men!
All the girls and their babe's! (just missing Logan) Of course we had to do I leg pose!
(Chelsea, Molly, Jenn, Me, Ava, JoAnna, Lilly)

Ok short and sweet! I'm hoping to get back into blogging again. Wish me luck!

Picture catch up!

Picture catch up!!! David and I have been so busy lately! We were gone for a week to work at Sooner Youth Camp, working, David is putting VBS on this week, AVA! But I'm hoping to start bloging again! So here it goes!!!

Look at those baby blues!!! Happy 4th of July!!!

yes this is outfit 3/5...but look at my new toy! A play table!!! Thanks Grammy

I can also now "dance" really I just shake my head no to the music!

Splish splash I was taking a bath...in Bonnie's water bowl!

We went home for a wedding and got to have a really fun play date with Sydney! (I grew up with her mom and they are 4 days apart!)

Poor Ava got beat up by Sydney

Me, Sydney, Nicole and Ava Kate

Some reason it won't let me get rid of this repeat...so just enjoy it!oh my sweet sweet baby girl is getting soo big! (and this is over a month old!!!)

8 Months!

I can't believe that she is 8 months!!! So much has changed. Plus I didn't do a 7 month post so this will kind of be a combo post.

At 8 months she weighs 15 lbs 4 oz 26 1/2 inches long.
Wears size 6 clothes, (7 months she was in 3-6)
Size 2 diaper still
Drinks 6 1/2 to 7 oz of breast milk 4 times a day (at 7 months it was 6 1/2)
Eating 3 oz of food twice a day (apples, bananas, pears, peaches, avacodos, peas, carrots, sweet potatos and green beans)
She started clapping the day before David graduated (May 8th right before 7 months)
Started crawling right at 7 months
Pulling up at about 7 1/2 months
Her first "words" were Baba ba ba...singing to Barbara Ann second came mama, then her first thing to do on Father's day while David was changing her diaper she said dada!

I think that is it for now. Like I said in the last post I will have to post pictures later.

I'm Back!

Wow so it has been a month since I have posted! I can't believe it...where does time go? I feel like I have been going nonstop but then when I look back I can't remember what I have been up to...how sad is that!

We the last post was about my grandpa. So I guess I should start there. He is still in the rehab hosipital and they are hoping to get him out on Wednesday. He is just trying to get his strength back. He is a lucky man to still be with us. And praise God that he is...I'm selfish and just not ready to lose him yet.

Ava has turned 8 months...that little baby on the top of my blog is getting closer and closer to that 1!!! It is crazy how fast they grow! (more on her later).

Last weekend I finally left Ava (over night) and went to a scrapbooking retreat! It started Friday at noon and ended Sunday around noon! It was so much fun getting to pull all your stuff out and work nonstop, having nothing else to do (well but to get a massage, eat and get into the hottub)! I was able to have some wonderful mother daughter time with my mom, and can't wait till the next one!

Last night was Jennifer Andrews (one of my best friends from high school) wedding. She looked so beautiful! It was so much fun getting to catch up with all my friends. There is 5 of us girls that we try to get together for dinner every few months, but last night was the first time for all of us to meet eachother's husbands. It amazes me that no matter how much we all grow and change, we are still able to stay friends. Our little group started back when we were in 6th grade as flute players...that's 15 years ago! I just pray that we are able to keep our friendships no matter what.

I think that is it for now. I'm still in the SLOW process of changing over to my new computer and getting my pictures uploaded to this computer. So maybe one day I will be able to get pictures posted.

Have a good night.

Prayers needed

Friday morning my Grandpa was placed in ICU. We are just now starting to get answers, which is good but it just seems like something new just keeps showing up. Please take a second and pray for him please. Pray for my family, for strength and rest. He got moved to a hospital 1 hr away so everyone is having to travel back and forth.

coming soon Ava's 7 month post!!!

Look at me go!!!
