St. Patty's Day

I just wanted to post a few pictures I had. One is of Ava with her cousins, Philip and Ashlyn. They came over on St. Patrick's Day. We had so much fun as we always do. We made candy and did some crafts. They are such good kids and always a joy to spend time with. Ava just adores Philip. She wants nothing more than to do whatever her big cousin Ashlyn is doing. The one picture of Ava is from the other day. Ashlyn and Ava will be flower girls in a friends wedding on Saturday. We had to practice curling her hair. She looks so pretty. She had big hair just like me that day. Guess she will fit in here in west Texas.

Turn the music on pause at the bottom of the page before you watch the video.

Priceless

I thought it would be nice for my family to see some video of my baby. She is getting so big. These memories captured on film are so priceless. It is hard to believe a year ago we were waiting for the first step or the first tooth. Now she can sing the wheels on the bus. I have been blessed by God with this child. I am so thankful for the five years I spent trying to have this little girl. God knew she would be that much more special to us. We have set a date for our next transfer which is May 12th. We had a few set backs but are anxious to give it another go around. We of course would love to welcome another member to our family, but are at peace with Gods plans for us. I would like to ask for some prayers for my cousin, Beth and her husband, Chris. He has been battling Lymphoma cancer. He has been an amazing witness to my family and thousands of others. I hear the past few days have been extremely hard. Please pray for Beth, Chris and their family. Sometimes it is hard to understand these hard times and all we can do is pray and trust in God.

We had corn on the cob the other night for dinner and Ava thought it was too cool. I think she likes anything messy. Never had so much fun sitting down for a meal until we had her. I am excited to say my dad has gotten a new job in San Antoino. They currently live in St. Louis so this will be a little closer. We will pray they sell their house quickly. Kind of a scary time to try and sell your house right now, but there is peace in knowing Gods in charge. Justin and I will be retuning to Dallas at the end of March to have a frozen embryo transfer. We are so ready to have another baby, but the Dr. we will be using is in the process of building a new facility. We underwent a transfer in October which unfortunatly resulted in a miscarriage. This is our last frozen embryo so we are really praying for a positive outcome. I know it will all work out and trust God knows what is best for us.

New Shoes

Check out Ava's new boots. She had a little trouble walking in them at first. Justin and I got so tickled watching her in them this morning. She has gotten the hang of it now. She likes to get new shoes and show them off. I know I know she did get that from me.

Pee Pee in the Potty

Yeah for Ava! She peed in the potty for the second time today. We all get so excited we stand around and clap. Then she gets a hershey kiss or whatever chocolate her mom hasn't ate yet. I am so sad that my baby is getting soo big. I had to buy 2T instead of the month sizes I always did before. I am so blessed to have such an angel. We bought her the cutest boots so when I get the pics I will share them with everyone. Hope everyone has been keeping up with their new years resolutions. I always get mine accomplished. It usually takes me all year though. Mine this year is to read the entire Bible beginning to end. I have not got to far but I have got started. Those of you that know me well know that I do not need to say excersice more because I am one of those wierdo's who love to run.

Fun Stuff

We have taught Miss Ava to make a funny face. It is really the cutest thing ever. She likes to make it at the dinner table. I think she looks a lot like Justin in this picture. Maybe cause they are both so silly. I am glad she is so easy going like him. I stress about stuff too much.

One night I was rolling my hair and Ava looks at me pretty funny when I have the rollers in. So we decided to try some in her hair. They did not stay in very long. I was suprised that they actually did put a little curl in her extremly fine hair. Aren't little girls soo much fun!
