Babysitting Baby Luke

Last week Ava and I got to babysit for Baby Luke while Shannon went to her doctor's appointment. Luke is the sweetest, happiest baby and Ava loved hugging and kissing on him! He gave me a bit of a surprise when I changed his diaper...I guess I'm not used to changing little boy diapers because he peed everywhere! Ava thought it was so funny and reminds me when I am changing her diaper..."Baby Luke, pee pee, mommy"

Look at that sweet face! I love him!

Ava, Logan, Pigs, and Cows...

Last week we joined our friends Melissa and Justin and their little girl, Logan, at a 4H show and sell...I had never heard of that either but it sounded like fun! Ava and Logan had a lot of fun and to my surprise Ava was not scared of the animals one bit! At one point a pig came and licked her hand..I jumped off the bleacher and scooped her up but she was laughing! I guess she is going to be a country girl!

The girls were having too much fun to pose for a picture! :)

Mess...

I knew Ava was being too quiet this morning so I quickly grabbed my camera and caught her in the act...

When Ava makes a big mess I always say, "who made this mess" and she responds very truthfully with "Ava". "So who needs to clean it up?" I respond. "Mommy!" she always says and then I always do.

Baby Luke!

Shannon and Paul welcomed baby Luke Thomas on March 13. David and I got to visit him in the hospital but Ava was too young. David took her to meet him this week and she was so excited to get to hold him...

We are so excited baby Luke is here and look forward to watching him grow! We love you, Luke!

Disney 3/10

I have to say that this Disney trip was probably my favorite of all time! That says a lot! Ava is at the perfect age right now for Disney. She LOVES the characters...she wanted to hug, kiss, wave, and hug them some more. She loved it!! Here's some pictures from our vacation...




My friend Melissa and her family happened to be at Disney the exact same time as us so we met up with them a few times. They have a daughter, Logan, who is just a few months older than Ava so the girls had a great time together!

Our next trip is planned for the end of September. And while the thought of planning, organizing, packing, and driving to Disney again so soon overwhelms me...hearing my little angel walking up to Mickey Mouse and saying "I wuv you" makes it all worth it!

Coming Soon...

We are back from Disney...sadly...but somehow I caught a yucky cold that is consuming all of my energy right now! I promise we will share pictures soon! :)
