Our little Zoe

On Tuesday the 23rd I was able to go get a 4d ultrasound done of little Zoe. It was so much fun to see her features and I really enjoyed it! She was way more shy than Ava was. I wonder if that's a preview to how she will be?? ;)
Here are a few pictures from the appt. We are so excited to meet her in just a little more than 2 months!

I know you have all been wanting to know...

We are so excited for Ava to have a little sister! The drama, baby dolls and lots of girly things sure makes having girls worth it!

Parties, Parties and More Parties!

A few weeks ago I went to my best friend's mom's retirement party and Ava was able to see Karlee, and Preslee whom she loves to see! Ava and Preslee are only 2 months apart and people think that they could even be sisters since they look a lot alike. I tried to have them look at the camera, but it wasn't working for me.
We had a great thanksgiving! We spent some time at David's parents and then went over to my Aunts house. The day went pretty quick, but was it was good to see family.
We also got our tree on thursday and Ava is in love with it. She goes up to the ornaments and picks them off and then tells us 'put it back' like we were the guilty ones. Silly little girl!
We hope that everyone is having a fabulous holiday season and we find out in 2 days what the baby is...we will keep you posted!

The Future...

it has finally started to kick in that we will be having another little one in the next 6 months. One of my best friend's had her baby a few days ago 5 weeks early and she is absolutely adorable! I just can't believe Evie is already here and now they have two little ones. I am getting nervous to have two little ones to take care of when one feels stressful sometimes. I have decided that Ava might have her moments, but I think she is going to be a great big sister. She is almost always carrying around at least 1 or 2 of her baby dolls. She has also started to become quite the miss Boss around her. Just as I am writing this she looks at me with both dolls in her arms and says, "come on, babe." She wants to go watch cartoons in our bed while Daddy is at Saturday school. I'm sure everything will work out just great, but the nerves are starting to kick in! Have a great day everyone!

(Sorry the quality isn't too great, but she sure loves taking care of her babies.)

Ward Trick or Treat Party 2009

This year our ward combined with Columbia ward to do the Halloween Party. It turned out great! It was so much fun having all the people there and we really enjoyed ourselves. I had a great time bringing my friend Becky and her son Liam. Ava and Liam love to play together and they were so cute as a monkey and cheerleader.

Fall 2009

David, Ava and I made it to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday. We had a great time, but Ava was still pretty apprehensive when she saw all the people there and the mass amounts of orange pumpkins! She finally warmed up to them and even though she wouldn't look at the camera it did look like she was having a bit of fun. We also had Ava's cousin Eli's B-day party yesterday. We had a fun time doing the little carnival activities and I know that Ava had a fabulous time being dressed up. She said that "I pretty." (Meaning herself)
We are excited that all is going well right now. David is still going crazy trying to juggle work and school, I am getting so tired of working and being away from Ava, but I know its just till we can get David out of school and with a career so hopefully not too many more years! Ava is growing like a week and talking up a storm. She can repeat almost any word now and her new phrase is "oh gosh." Everything she falls, she throws her doll or if she is just jumping around that is the words that she says. The new little one is also growing well. The doctor is still thinking May 10Th and we are glad that the baby looks healthy. I am feeling better these days and can actually eat without it wanting to come back out. We hope life is treating all of you well!

Ava is practicing

I found Ava on the couch this morning with her baby doll right next to her. She was talking to her and trying to take care of the baby. I think she is just practicing for when she is a big sister next spring!
