Visit With the Bolin's

Sarah, Jay, and Caroline came for a quick visit this past weekend. I love when they get to come! We had a joint birthday party for Jay and my grandmother on Saturday night. Jay will be 5 next week. David and I were married on his 1st birthday.

Caroline with a blue tongue from the cookie cake. My dad actually finds an excuse for us to have cookie cake every time the Bolin's visit. He doesn't even like it but he knows how much we do!

Jay loves holding Ava! Sarah calls him "the baby whisperer" because he can always make her laugh!

Ava and her Aunt Sarah...

Ava was wiped out from all the excitement...

We will all get to be together again very soon for a week in Myrtle Beach! I can't wait!!

So Far So Good

My new job is going great so far! The people are all very nice and I love the schedule. On my first day David knew I was a little nervous so he had Ava write me a little note. "She" even packed her bunny in my lunchbox in case I got scared. Isn't she just the sweetest baby! :)
The Bolins are headed to North Carolina tomorrow morning and we are soooo excited! I'm sure I will have lots of pictures to post from their visit!

6 MONTHS ALREADY???!!

Tomorrow Ava will be 6 months old! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! Ava has reached a new milestone recently...sitting. She is still a little wobbly but she is getting the hang of it! The doctor told us that at 6 months she would be able to drink out of a sippy cup. I just can't bring myself to give her a sippy cup yet...that seems like such a "big kid thing"! We will hold off on that for a little while longer. She is very good at computers, though...Just had to share this one... I have been waiting for Ava to get enough hair to wear a bow!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

My family will get this right away! I have caught Ava several times flipping her paci upside down! Hopefully I will be able to break her of this before she starts school! :)

Sad Day...

I just found out that The Longbranch has closed! Not that I have ever been there or anything but I am sure this is very sad news to someone...haha :)

Happy 4th!

This may be my favorite holiday of all! We spent the day at the pool with my family. Then that night we headed to a friend's house for a cookout and fireworks. Ava finally got to meet baby Olivia...no pictures though because little Olivia slept most of the night! She is so precious and I'm sure she will be one of Ava's best buddies! We all had a great time and Ava loved her first firework show!

New Job!

David and I had been looking for a good excuse to get a cookie cake for about a month now. We had planned on getting one to celebrate July 4th but David surprised me a day early with this one...because I got a new job! YAY!! I will now no longer work any weekends or holidays!! Praise God for the new job and for cookie cake!!
