A quick Hello!

You know the saying when Mamma's happy everyone is happy.....well we have a saying of our own around here.....when Ava's happy everyone is happy....so this is what we spend most of our time doing! Making AVA happy! It is fun though and a good excuse not to do many of the things we want to put off!
Emily has already started finding ways to pick on Ava. I think she likes having a little sister!

My 3 beauties!

Anna can't keep her lips off this baby!

Well, I didn't make it in time for a pic before they tore them apart!

We went to visit the Easter bunny and they all did great!

They were so proud of our homemade Easter cake!

patiently waiting!

Yummy fingers!

Had to do it!

Love this toothless grin:)

1st turkey for Miss Anna!

Anna turned 6 on St. Patty's day!

We have been busy and I have a feeling we always will be! We are getting ready for ballet recitals and it is going to be exciting to have both Anna and Emily up on stage! Ava is now 5 months and is chewing on everything. She is about 18 pounds of pure sugar and is 26 and some odd inches long! She wears a size 12 month clothing already! We are signing Emily up for preschool in the fall and she is so excited! I am sure that I am forgetting about a ton of things that have been happening around here. Mostly we (MORE JASON) have been remodeling the girls bathroom. I mainly get to clean up all the dust from sanding! Sheet rock sanding is very messy and floats everywhere! We are just living life to the fullest and enjoying every moment of it! I hope everyone had a great Easter and is enjoying this beautiful weather!

Ava's patty cakes!

My three sweet girls!

Don't ya just love those big blue eyes....they melt my heart:)

Can't wait to see these when they are done.

When we were all done!

Before getting started.



Hey everybody, sorry I have neglected my blog! We have been so busy and I am guilty but facebook is just so much quicker when it comes to downloading photos. Ava turned 4 months old today and time is going by way too quickly! I remember doing this with Emily and Anna like it was yesterday. We are getting ready to celebrate Anna's 6th birthday in a couple of days and she is so excited about getting ready for the 1st grade and she already knows who she wants as her teacher! I am not even going to try to catch up on lost events! Hopefully I can get better at updating on here, but doubtful:( I don't see things slowing down anytime soon. We are all doing fine and hope to find you doing the same. Take care!

Ava is getting BIG!

I am amazed at how fast time passes me by! My baby is already 2 months old and she weighs 13 pounds and 13 ounces and is 24 inches long! She has already grown out of most of her 3 month clothing:( Anna and Emily love every minute that they can spend all snuggled up to Ava or holding her. She is not quite as fussy now and absolutely loves her swing! I think she looks alot like Anna! I am sorry that it has been awhile since I have posted but it seems like when I find time to post this computer gives me trouble! I hope it is not going out of commission for good! I am returning to work the 1st week in February but just for every other weekend, as I was before. I hope by then that Miss Ava is more fond of her father because they will be spending an entire weekend together and she will have to drink out of a bottle. So I am praying that she does well with the two major changes! We are also all feeling much better and hope that we can stay that way for awhile!

Where has the time gone?

We finally decided that this picture would have to do for the christmas cards this year! I used to know how to make this larger but I do not recall exactly how and I don't have much time before my boss with a HUGE appetite wakes up!
A couple of weeks ago Anna was student of the week. Here is Emily and her battles scares where she got in a fight with her G-Daddy's pool table. I don't think she won!

Our little princess getting some beauty rest.

Ava and one of her biggest fans!!

I thought these were funny when I looked back at them. We ended up with about 20 of them similar to this..........

and this......

and this... I was ready to give up! We never got one that we just loved. I felt like we were abusing the two big ones because the little one wouldn't cooperate!

Daddy and his girls showing off his 8-point buck. I think all we have in Alabama is 8 points because this is his 3rd one!

This was the cutest little Christmas outfit to me!

Too bad Ava didn't think so!

I miss it but she is holding her head up rather well now at almost 6 weeks.

Ava is screaming in her Daddy's arms so I will make this short! Her heart is healing and looking better but the holes are still not totally closed off. The doctor wants to see us back at her 4 month birthday. She is eating and growing good! At a month she was 10# and 14 oz's and was 22 1/2 inches long. She is a bit fussy and loves me the best! That is fine by me! Anna has been on a sick streak and seems to bring home every type of sickness that passes by her. Unfortunately she also shares them with us! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! I will share more when I have time, bye for now
