A little late

I have been so busy with life, and with Ava's hospital visit that I neglected to put up some pictures from her first birthday. We had a nice celebration with some family and friends. We had it at the church because our place is too tiny to hold everybody! It went well, except for the fact that that was when Ava was starting to get sick so she was a little grumpy. Here is a few pictures from the party!
Also a few new things about all of us-
*Feb 2nd we noticed that Ava is finally getting a third tooth!
*She is saying All done, up, done, and still dogs is her favorite word for any moving animal. She is probably getting close to 20 pounds now and is sure a cute little thing.
*David is still working as hard as ever in school and working.
*I'm working full-time as a preschool teacher and because of the economy everyones hours are getting cut, so I have been going to a different center to get the much needed money!
That is pretty much what is going on here in good 'ol Troutdale!
Have a great day everyone!



Ava loved the cake that Grandma Waddell made her!
It took her a minute then she started to dig right it.
Isn't this a cute little cake? I thought it was beautiful.
