Israel Houghton

Last week our church hosted Israel Houghton and New Breed for their "Power of One" concert in Greenville. It was the first time I have ever seen them live and they were amazing!!! If you don't have their new CD "Power of One" you NEED to get it! David and I listened to it all weekend while we were at the beach. We are praying that this is only the beginning for our church's Greenville campus!

Busch Gardens

Last weekend we took a day trip to Busch Gardens to visit the Sesame Street Forest of Fun. Ava has gotten really into the Sesame Street characters lately so we knew she would have a blast! David had made us reservations to have lunch with the characters and it was great. A little chaotic, but Ava loved it! Here are some pictures from our day...

I couldn't believe that Ava was even allowed to ride this ride and even more surprised with how much she loved it...



I couldn't even see her so I was praying and pacing the whole time. It was so funny when it FINALLY came back to the ground and I saw her tiny little self just laughing! She is a brave girl and growing up too fast!!

Congratulations Daddy!!

David started his new job at RBC in Wilson today! We are all so excited because he is now working like 2 minutes from home and can come home for lunch and be home in the afternoons a lot faster (hallelujah!!) Ava and I had a surprise congratulations party for him Friday night complete with a balloon and yummy cake! We are so proud of him!! :)

Funny Ava Story Of the Day...

So today I guess I was really on the ball. I had 2 cups of coffee while Ava was napping so by the time 5:30 rolled around I had dinner made and on the table waiting for David to get home. Ava was in her room listening to a Veggie Tales cd and I went in there and told her I needed to take off her new shirt so we would be ready for dinner when Daddy got home. (We were having tacos which can be pretty messy) I went into the computer room knowing that Ava was occupied and David would be home any minute. A few seconds later Ava walks into the computer room with salsa all over her mouth and said, "dinner good mommy" It took me a minute to get what she was saying and then I busted out laughing! Here she is after she ratted herself out...

Never a dull moment in the Pitts' house!

Easter Week 2010

Our Easter week began as many of our recent holidays with attempting to make cute holiday cupcakes. We found a really cute bunny cupcake online and gave it our best shot...

My attempt...

And Ava's...
Ava didn't seem to mind that they didn't turn out quite like the picture...

We read the Easter story out of her Children's Bible and she was really concerned about Mary crying in one of the pictures. By the end of the week she would say, "Don't cry...alive" She got the most important part of the story...Jesus is ALIVE!

On Thursday night I worked so Ava got to spend the night with her Nana and Papa. They had a ball at the park and visiting with Shannon and Luke on Friday. On Friday night we all got together to celebrate Keith, Shannon and Paul's birthday!

On Saturday morning we met my mom to have breakfast with the Easter bunny...

After breakfast and an Easter Egg Hunt we went to enjoy our first day of the season at the pool!! The weather was beautiful and we all had our first Popsicle of the summer!

On Easter morning we headed to New Beginnings Greenville Campus to celebrate Resurrection Day!! The new campus of our church is growing fast and we had tons of kids in our class! After church we went to my Nana's for the annual Easter Egg Hunt...

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! :)
