I'm back!

I'm back! I can't believe it has been so long! Since the last post (way back in May) blogger hasn't let me log into my account! Thanks to my amazing husband we got it all fixed! Just in time...We find out what the baby is tomorrow! David and I are so excited! So baby number two should be making it's first blog appearance soon! So my goal is to get up todate ASAP...which sadly won't be hard...I have noticed when I don't blog I don't take as many pictures! So lets get started...

David and I celebrated our 3rd year of marriage this summer. We didn't do anything fancy. We went out on a date just the 2 of us the week before. But you can't not do anything on the real day so we had a nice at home dinner just the 3 1/2 of us.

We have finally gotten all of our wedding gifts out of my parents house so we were able to use our china for the first time!

You can't have a big fancy dinner without a little music...you know like someone playing the violin or someone singing in the back ground....Good thing we have Ava to do it for us...She is way cheaper and cuter!

My amazing husband!

A really bad picture of me...The love of our lives!And you can't forget Penny...she is never too far from food!

We have gotten Ava a potty...just to help get her use to the idea of it. After dinner she said she needed to go potty, so we put her on it and what do you know she really peed in it!!! Too bad that was the last time she has done it! haha...On a side note please be praying for my family. They have put my Grandpa on hospice. Please be praying for my dad and uncles. It's never easy losing a love one...even if you do know it's coming. Sweet dreams blog world...I hope to get up to date soon!

Josh and Morgan

David had the honor of marring one of his best friends last month! How awesome is that! Every time he speaks (in public...not always at home haha) I'm just amazed at how much of a gift God has given him! He made it so personal! (Sorry for the bad pictures, it was dark and I was trying to take pictures without being that annoying picture person!)

David and Josh
Checking out the cake...mmm it was so yummy!Look how handsome he is!!!
The reception was "game" themed with games all over the place! Such a cute idea to get your gest to interact with eachother....plush no Bible major (yes both of them are bible majors) wedding isn't complete without a game of bible pictionary!!!
The game center pieces! Everything was in the shape of hearts, or words spelling out love...
Battle ship with hearts!


Sending off the newly weds!
Congrats Josh and Morgan!!! Welcome to the married people club! Thanks for letting us be apart of your beautiful day! Thank you Garrett and Stacy for watching Ava so we could have a afternoon and wedding child free!!!

Lisa's Graudation

In May Lisa (my mother in law) graduated with her master in education from ACU. I was so nervous about taking Ava, because it was during nap time and everyone knows how fun graduations can be! We were all shocked how well she did! I didn't have to walk around with her till about the last 30 mins of the 2 1/2 hour graduation! These pictures are just with my camera...I took my dad's nice one so that we could have close ups but I haven't been able to upload them yet.

David and his Dad (Pops)

Ava and Daddy!
Remember how I said that Ava did really good during it... it's more like she LOVED it!!! One of her favorite things to do is to cheer yelling "YAAAAAAAYYYYYYY" while clapping like a crazy person. Well that is what she did EVERYTIME someone cheered for the love ones!!! She had everyone around us laughing at...I mean with her!

Grammy and PopsDavid and his parents
Ava NOT into pictures!
I love this picture of them walking to the cars!
Poor thing was so sleepy afterwards. We drove to lunch and she was so out that she slept in my lap the whole time we waited and ate! David and I are so blessed to have such a easy going baby! Congrats Lisa we are so proud of you!!!

Have you noticed I don't have many pictures of Ava's face?!? So frustrating! Summer has started!!! And our back yard is proof! Ava loves to be outside...so do I when it's not a million degrees outside! Our newest addition to our backyard is a turtle sandbox! Ava loves it! This sandbox has a little ring of water around it which just makes the sandbox a bigger mess!!! but even more fun!Side note to other parents of sandbox kids! Tip on getting the sand off of hot little kids is to put a little baby powder on your hand and then dust them off! For the ears put a little bit of baby oil on a q-tip and clean!

Penny is even enjoying the sandbox too! MMM sandbox water is yummy!

A day in the life of Ava Kate

I will never understand why kids LOVE boxes so much!?! It doesn't matter the size or shape of them ALL kids LOVE them! This is the story of Ava and her box! haha

Hmm I must play in this box even is it frustrates me so much that I have to have a fit about it because I can't get out of it!

Hmm that fit wasn't bad enough so I think I will get back into the box!
Ok I think I have finally mastered the box!!!
If I hid under my blanket and laugh my head off maybe mom won't find me!!!HELLO world here I am!!!
David and I have noticed lately that we are having to really start the "parenting" part of raising a child. NOT fun! I rather go back to the time when it was just have fun and play! Anyways since we have started "parenting" we have noticed that she she is mad she will put her hands on her hips, or cross her arms and give us this look!!! What a little turkey!!! She is stealing "THE" look from our "parenting"!!! Every now and then she will even add a foot stomp!!! Oh the things pick up from their parents!!!

Take me out to the ballgame!

A few weeks ago we had a small group get together at the baseball field for dinner and a "game" of softball. We are so blessed to have a group of friends who love our child SO much. It's hard sometimes being the only one with a kid, but at the same time Ava is so blessed to have so many "aunts" and "uncles". Ava is one LOVED child!!!

Aunt Stacy playing with Ava,

I LOVE this picture of Garrett and Ava!
